I am puzzled by the arabic(?) markings. Was it common on puukkos?

I'm rather convinced this is not a puukko. If it was a puukko you would have also a nice catch.
But the blade is different to that of the puukko or other scandinavian knives. Also the dress is a bit different. I can understand that Lew is seeing a puukko, but the difference in the dress is the metal strip or clip on the backside of the scabbard on wich the ring is attached. I've never seen something like that on scandinavian knives or puukkos. The marking i don't know. Arabic? Maybe, but could also be an old asian language. As far as i know it is certainly not common on the puukko. |
