Finnish knives

First the style is pretty unmistakable and also the seller does
mention the name in answer to a question. Wahtera didn't sign
on the blade, only embossed in the leather of the sheath.

Having an original Wahtera to a collector of Finnish knives is
like having a Springfield marked Randall made by Bo Randall
himself.

If you find a Wahtera for $150, please buy it and send it to me :-)
But it must be an original Wahtera. The style was later copied by
other makers.
