A new pakka (puuko) knife

Beautifull handle and blade.
Allthough not the most traditional (Finnish style) blade shape its nonetheless a nice piece. Also I recommend searching word puukko (if using the search in internet)instead of puuko, in some dialects in Finland its called puuko, but it really is more an exception than a rule.

Thank you, Tomik, for the compliments and info. I checked it out, and yes, the spelling you mention does seem to be the standard. It's more widespread across the Scandinavian countries than I'd realized, and I also didn't know about the illegality of carrying one in public. Interesting stuff.
