Thank you Louis, Battara, thats very complimentry of you!
It is nice, I must admit! The fact the scabbard is carved out of one solid piece of wood always astounds me.
Rich have you any photos of other Staskniv in your collection or elsewhere? It would be nice to see some others.
Perhaps I should have collected these pukkos & barrel knives like your good self & your wife rather than kukri!
Storage & display must be so easy!
But alas kukri are my favorites!
But perhaps I will be lucky & come across another Louen for $10 one day,
Its funny but if Louen was a top American knifemaker & famous Victorian church carver 100-160 years ago, rather than Norwegian , I think it would probably be worth thousands rather than hundreds of dollars.
Or am I mistaken? What do you guys think?
Tis a strange world after all.
