Default Two Puukkos

Hello All!

I think the first Puukko is a fishermans Puukko and is inscribed "Made in Finland" on the blade, it might be hand made. It is 8" overall with a 4" blade and hilt. The second one is very small but extreamly well made. The handle is made of stacked wood and engraved brass parts on the hilt and sheath. The blade has "made in Finland" on the blade as well as a makers mark but I can't make it out. It is 4 1/2" overall with a 2 1/4" blade that is razor sharp. The sheath is made of brass and embossed leather with a loop on it to attach it to a button. I don't think it is a tourist pice because the quality is just too good. I think both are mid 20th century. Ant comments are welcome!
