marttiini knives

Yes, that is the largest Marttiini Lynx series puukko. Don't think it's
made anymore. Marttiini make/made a great knife. I've several in
my collection. In recent years they have gone mainly to plastics and
synthetic handles (which turn me off). They made their reputation
internationally with their filet knife - now Rapala/Normark which I
think they have contracted out to a Chinese maker :-( Hard to beat
an old, pre circa 1970 Marttiini puukko. Real cutters and well made.
