This is the maker who made me that hunter puukko at the begining of the thread. He does great work his standard hunter and puukko are very reasonable compared with custom work here in this country.

Hi Lew , I miss that old Danish Bos'un's knife ; the blade must have been 6" long .

I gave it to my Dad to use for splicing , whipping and general marine knotwork . It was stolen out of our old island fouse in Maine by one of the local lobstermen ; they would B&E the Summer cottages in Winter in search of booze . Those guys are a pretty lousy lot ; I know from first hand experience .

Not many people meaner tempered than a Maine lobsterman .

Unless you've got a handfull of ten dollar bills ; then they're all sweetness and light .

Earlier in this thread I was asked about folding puukko,
specifically Swedish Barrel Knives (folding sloyd),
I said I didn't think folding knives were classified
as puukko. Looks like I was wrong. Did a search for
fun on Amazon and got the following as one of the
results.

Evidently, puukko can also refer to folding or clasp
knives. You learn something everyday :-)
