Pinoy Blade Hunter
27th January 2020, 02:40 PM
I have recently purchased this one from an antiques store. the seller does not know anything about it.
i know it's called a puukko knife and it's from finland. deer antler sheath and handle, carbon steel peened tang blade.
upon googling images of puukkos, most of what i see have leather on the sheaths for about half the length of it. mine is all antler.
can anybody approximate the age on this? and probable maker/ or province of origin? or any other you can tell me about this little blade? (overall length on the knife is about 7 inches.)
upon cleanup, the blade seems to show a laminated edge. i have yet to polish and etch it to confirm.
thank you so much in advance.
