Sorry, but it's not a puukko, it is a leuku - broad bladed knife (puukko are
smaller, narrow bladed). Yes, Finnish made by Iisakki Jarvenpaa of Kauhava
Finland. You can see the difference on the site linked below.

Here's a link to a good source of them.

Check out the rest of Ragweed's site. Lots of really good Scandinavian
and Finnish knives. Once you start using good Finnish or Scandi blades, you'll never use any other.
