Thank you so much Rich for sharing those! What magnificent knives, and its easy to see how the Finns so personally treasured these, and how formidable they were in its use.

All the best,
Jim

Jim -

Thanks, I don't post much about them on this site as the puukko and leuku are
primarily tools, not weapons. Although the Finnish troops certainly used
them quite lethally during the Continuation, Winter and Second World wars.
