lapin-puukko (aka puukko) revisited

gp · 5th September 2025, 03:06 PM

received a nice puukko, which was quite dirty and some rust, looked a little beaten up as if in had been throug several wars...

nevertheless managed to get it back to live;

it is 20 cm long
wooden handle with a thin leather piece wrapped around it
and a metal (iron) kind of button) on top
blade 2 cm wide
scabbard is simple yet has 2 pieces of decoration;

- a V-like decoration at the top
- a typical Finish decoration found on most puukkos

looks to me like a "working" tool, perhaps for the hunt or fishing ?
what do you think?
