Here are some modern versions of the Sami leuku at the top followed by a standard puukko and two customs made pieces in my collection of Finnish knives. The leuku is basically a large butcher knife with an 8-9 inch blade but it also can be used for cutting up wood for to make a fire if need be. The smaller knives are for everyday chores from whittling to skinning hides or even kitchen duties slicing up cheese veggies and bits of meat.

Lew -

Nice knives. I've wanted a Roselli leuku, but the $$$$ just aren't there right now. I've two Roselli, an older HC Hunter and a standard carbon Carpenter. Both fine knives, although Roselli knives are not what I think of when I think of Sami knives. I think more of the reindeer antlered handles and sheaths. Is the puukko an Allti Kankannpaa? Looks like his work (I have one of his). Who did the lower two customs - they look really nice. I don't have but a couple modern customs; one a Tommi by Marko Tihula and a double set by Kay Vikstrom.

Hi Rich

The leuku I had custom fitted at the factory with a sterling silver butt plate and ferrule. Yes the puukko is a Kankannpaa the other two are made by Jukka Hankala.

This Sami knife just sold by ebay for an unbelievable high price: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...vip=true&rt=nc
Is it possible that this thread let raise up the price?

Some pictures for the time when they are removed by ebay.
