The Puuko as i understand it is the signature knife of Northern Europe, specifically Finland. That being the cased i guess my reference was a bit of a stretch since the Vikings, i believe, were a little to the west....but the
far east? That seems a little off to me.
Well, at least according to Wiki the word is from the Finnish language, but can also apply to a Norwegian knife as well so perhaps my Viking reference isn't too far a field.
