I would think this is fairly recent. The blade appears stained but no
significant rusting or pitting. Looks like a factory grind. Also most
native Am. knives I've seen didn't have a ferrule, but...

Carlos -

I think your first inclination was right - African although I can't say

odd puukko #2

Picked up another strange puukko (I guess). Blade is about
3 inches, laminated steel, marked "El Gallo, Sweden". The
hard leather sheath is somewhat typical of puukko and
has a wood liner. Both...

I think you're right about the antler. Even a fetal caribou would have
a larger shoulder blade now that I think of it. I've been using "puukko"

Another Puukko (I think ?)

Just got this. I think (?) an early Lapland Puukko. Sheath maybe
shoulder blade of small caribou? Blade is 3 " long. I think nice piece of
folk art. Any and all comments appreciated.

Not my area, but I suspect this is a Moro spear head that someone has
stuck a handle on to convert it to a knife. I'm sure others will voice
their opinions; hopefully more knowledgeable than I.

I like the first three, neat pieces at a good price IMHO. Don't
really care for the last one; too "touristy". Is that a historically
accurate blade form? I've no idea as these aren't my field at...

Huh??? My graphics software for some reason always wants

It looks very similiar to a Khodmi only with a guard. Even the decor
and wire wrap looks the same. Maybe a variation? Just a guess on my part.
