Lew,
You opened a Pandora box!!!!!
Seriously, I think Puukkos are perhaps the most elegant knives. And the handles are magnificient: nothing ostentatious, just wood, but what beauties!
Very "Finnish" style: no matter how old, they always look "modern". Seems like Finland is an epicentre of the "contemporary" design.
