I know very little about Pukkos, but I just picked this one up. Nice knife, unmarked, 12" overall length, 8" blade.
Looks like a smooth white bone handle. Aluminum sheath. I wonder what the MUISTO means?
The Classic Pukko...MUISTO???

Interesting on many levels, Steve.
Is the bone handle noticeably heavy?
Nice knife.

MUISTO is Finnish for 'memory'. (Google is my best friend)

Also, if the Pukko knife design originated in Finland...that means that it was FINNISH before it got STARTED.

Faked me out Steve;I thought it was a full size one. Should've realized it with the size of the lettering. Nice score!
I have a couple but not quite that small.
