This was traded to us many years ago from Krause publications. It was sent to them to be included in their book, "Sporting Knives". This particular one appeared on the cover. Riata root burl handle Fitted sheath Silver steel blade This is one of the original Rugged Tommi knives that is made and stamped by "OK", THE Master Smith in Finland. He retired at the time this knife was traded to us and his brother took over as the new Master Smith at the KP Smithy in Finland. The silver steel blade is razor sharp, hand hammered over a charcoal fire with family tradition that dates back to 1610. Progression tempered to 61-61RC. Imported and sold by Kellam Knives. From their website:

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Some interesting reading on Tommi Puukko knives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko http://knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/835162/ http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/905479-I-wanna-talk-about-Puukkos Back when we got this (15+ years ago) I thought it was ugly and crude because the blade was not polished and smoothed. I did not know what it was and the more I read about it the prettier it is getting. Edited by Chris Farris - February/17/2016 at 16:36 |

Looks like it would be comfortable in the hand. Pretty knife.
