Some Finnish Puukkos, 3 are Martini, The ones with black sheats are pretty new and the Lapland Leuku with the print on blade is older, not sure how old. Last one is from one of the most known Finnish knifemaker Iisakki Järvenpää.

Gorgeous BIG bowie Garry, and your photography skills are excellent as well! Very nice shot!
So glad you like it Ken and Marco. I had no thought about it being an extra good photo, so that was especially nice to hear.
It is a rare thing for my camera to catch a special moment of lighting.

Thank you for your comments John, Charlie, and Tongueriver.
If anyone has never experienced a well made Bowie but perhaps has toyed with the idea of getting one, I would highly recommend this Bark River iteration. It is a high value knife for a comparatively modest amount of money; around $ 300. It is a lot of knife for the money and includes A2 tool steel. A2 is what the late Phil Hartsfield used for his famously strong blades.
