I agree of course with Jussi that the Sami are part of the country they live in and also use the local language.
Nowadays most of the Sami people live in Norway, followed by North America, Sweden, Finland and Russia (in that order).
A Puukko in Swedish or Norwegian is a kniv (= knife).
The names by Cook for Sweden are in Swedish, not any Sami language.
Trubnos should be spelled trubbnos and is implying that it doesn't have any sharp point (= dull muzzle).
Brukskniv translates to utility knife and storkniv means big knife.
