Hi Rich,

Great info. I've got Lester Ristinen's The Knives of Finland, but surprisingly I don't see this maker in his lists. Where did you find that?

Derek -

That's Ristinen's first book. Get his second, it is MUCH better and
has a lot more info, pics, etc. "Collectable Knives of Finland".

It is still in print and available from a number of sources at $40
plus shipping. Maybe find a copy cheaper somewhere. I just checked
Amazon and they have it for $40. Also available from
Memories of Finland (click on the puukko knives link) for the same price.

A must have for non-Finnish readers collecting puukko.
