Then did the first of my experimental finishes on the covers, something i have been thinking about for a while. Very happy with the finish, went from okay, to really classy, look a lot better now.

Ha, good one Willie! As a-matter-of-fact, Canada Post just recently installed parcel boxes so when something arrives that won't fit in the regular box the mailperson leaves a numbered key in your box that will open the corresponding numbered parcel box, and doing this has solved 2 problems, the mailperson doesn't need to make contact due to covid, and I don't have to be inconvenienced by getting a delivery notice to go and pick-up my packages. It's a win-win! I'm not usually so fortunate regarding big hauls, but I had 2 parcels sitting in Customs that were released at the same time so I got them together. When I place any order with any seller I try to purchase more than 1 knife so as to save on shipping costs, so occasionally the number of pieces arriving is more than 1! Lucky me, huh?

Case did a very good job on this: half stops, good W&T, excellent fit&finish.


From Knives of the North comes the Junki, not to be confused with the word junky.

The Junki is the smaller knife of the famous Helahoito set. This red Junki has a red lacquered curly birch handle, nickel silver ferrules, and a polished carbon steel blade. The blade is lightly inscribed with the Iisakki Järvenpää signature.
The sheath is nicely detailed with stamped and stained artwork, it contains a plastic liner to prevent the very sharp blade from slicing through, and it has a small snap-clasp to attach to your belt loop or purse.
I bought this for my sister's collection and suspect she will like the rich red lacquer work. It is 6" in length with a blade of 2.75 inches. Makes for a fine purse of desk knife.

The high carbon steel blade is 5 1/2". Speaking of the blade, its sharpness has to be experienced to be believed. The knife has a fine heft to it tho it only weighs a bit over 6 oz.
