I almost missed your post M.G.! Those are fine looking folders, and your new Karambit looks ready for business! Very cool pick-ups!

Like many of these Scandinavian (in this case Finland) knives the sheath is a free hanging "dangler." So it doesn't get in the way when sitting down whether in a chair, or truck seat, etc. The razor sharpness combined with the hand filling handle allow for a very easy application of force when needed. Plus they are inexpensive.

It's the 169OTH 5 in. D2 Stainless Steel blade with a full tang. 5.25 in. wood handle. It comes
with a custom leather sheath. The knife weighs in at 10.12 ounces. Beautiful knife.

Does anyone have an idea concerning who might have been the maker? The steel bolsters and liners would suggest WWII time frame. There is no evidence on either blade of a stamp. The spear is pitted some but the walk and talk of both blades is great. It has half stops and the shackle is not misshapen. This one just need a little bit of attention.012.JPG013.JPG

John, those are really beauties! Am I reading the center one correctly, no shackle originally? Don't see an empty hole.

Witb bone handkes . They call this deep canyon red. A brand new knife with a 2014 tang stamp. I guess it's been sitting on the shelf at Collector Knives for 7 years. No problem I like it.

Had one in the Camillus drawer, it's missing the shackle/bail, the blades are much better and with a clear stamp!

Quick Steel wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 6:58 pm And two more on this busy Monday. Both of these Puukkos were made by a little shop in Northern Finland called Wood Jewel. Imported by Knives of the North.

This first one has a blade of 3 1/4". The wood is dyed a deep blue as is the sheath.

Next is the Wood Jewel Rainbow Knife with a 3" blade. The handle is made of birch and reindeer antler. Both sheaths come are the dangling type which won't be in your way when seated.

Quick Steel wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 8:33 pm I understand your sheath preference Marco. The Scandinavian sheaths are not my preference either. They are just a deep pouch covering about 95% of the knife. It certainly protects the knife but does not provide the easiest/quickest withdrawal or insertion.
