I must be extra dense or non-observant; a foreign knives forum? How did I miss that before? I have days of reading to catch up on now!knife7knut wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:51 am I think I did a post on the foreign knives forum awhile back;I'll have to check.
Yep...it's there. It's a "puukko" extensive thread.tongueriver wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 6:01 pm I assume that my prior post giving the URL for the extensive subforum for these knives did not go through.
Yeah, that's a little nicer than my Mora knife. In fact it is downright beautiful !tongueriver wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 2:45 pm This one is a little more uncommon. Almost certainly from the Toten area of Norway, of uncertain age. 7 3/4 inches overall, with blade about 3 7/16 inches. Blade is of non-stainless steel, rhomboid cross-section, slender, very very slightly dipped toward edge or clipped in a gradual manner. No markings. Slight micro-pitting and grey patina, with some scratching. No blade loss of consequence. Nickel silver ferrule-type bolster is tapered into the handle section and does not have a ‘guard’ configuration. Barrel type handle is curly birch, and is surmounted with a reverse tapered pommel in nickel silver which matches the ferrule bolster. It has some simple stippled decorations. A knob of (probably) nickel silver protrudes from this pommel, and probably secures the hidden tang of the knife in some manner, and may have participated in some way to secure the knife handle to the sheath dangler although this is unclear at this point. The sheath is complex, with nickel silver furniture formed, hammered, stippled and soldered at various points. All this metal encases more curly birch which matches the knife handle. All of the wood in the handle and sheath appears to have a glossy varnish finish. There is a leather dangler affixed to the sheath by a soldered ring system. The general condition of the knife is very high excellent, with very little use evident. There is one dent in part of the nickel silver on the sheath.

That one is indeed a beauty and a very special one. Here is another that I really like.tongueriver wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:03 pm That is indeed a knice one, Ray; I don't recall seeing any knives from Denmark before.
Here is another one: Custom Nordic Puukko Hunting Knife with 4" Kustaa Lammi blade. Todd Marks: "I have been making and collecting Nordic knives now for over 10 years. Your blade was one of the last batches made from Mr. Lammi before he passed some years ago. I had it for quite some time and wanted to make this one special ...as a tribute to him. So I took my time and crafted it and it sat in the showcase for a few years. 2014 was when it was made."

VERY nice!KLJ77 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 5:55 pm Here's a couple I was fortunate enough to come across and grab. I've shown them before, but they're hidden in some thread here from days gone by.
First one: A Finnish Ilsakki Jarvenpaa Oy ceremonial 2 knife set called “The HARMA Knife”. Decorative brass pommels and finger guards. Mirror polished blades. Scabbard is made of leather and brass, w/the leather lacquered.
Second one: Puukko Martiini knife with a very nice leather sheath & Walnut handle.
That is beautiful! I have a knife from Denmark I was going to post. I don't see very many of them available, so I am always glad to see a new one posted.knife7knut wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:11 am Here is one of the nicest knives I have ever seen(from anywhere!)
