VVV is correct. "puukko" is a type of Finnish knives. Among my other collections
of sharp, pointy things, I also collect puukko and other Nordic knives; Morakniv,
Staskniv, etc. Here's a few pics of my collection. They are somewhat old ones,
as now the collection has about doubled in size.

There are two good Nordic (Scandinavian) knife forums; one on

Blade Forums: http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/sh...m.php?fid/124/

another on British Blades:
http://www.britishblades.com/forums/...splay.php?f=41

You need to register for both of course, but well worth the read for those
into Nordic knives. I'm mainly into puukko. Also have made a few from
Finnish and Norwegian blades. Most Nordic knives have a flat grind and
are so sharp they make your eyes bleed just by looking at them :-)

We've discussed puukko, etc before (but why not keep it up :-)
Run a forum search on "puukko".
