Another puukko collector on the planet!!!! I've been
collecting them for a while. Have about 30 (no duplicates).
Got my first when I was about 10 years old (a very
long time ago :-) Three of my favorites.

Stag handle, appears factory or at least original
to knife.

Post WW II with varnished cardboard sheath.

Lahdensou Lapua puukko with carved wood sheath
by Ville Pikkesaari.

I finally got a copy of Ristinen's first book. Good
info and a good compliment to his current book. Both
must haves for the puukko enthusiast IMHO.
