Hi CW Gang:
lI just bought this today. Knife with leather case. Know nothing about it. some writing on the Blade that says 'MADE IN FINLAND " and some other designs. Has a piece broken on the handle, but it was very inexpensive so I did not care.
anyone know anything about this? Will post the measurements in a Bit as I have company coming over.
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

Thanks Phil for the quick love on the button.
I already googled around and ( maybe ) found some info as to what it is. Thank Goodness for GOOGLE !!
it might be a...... * Vintage Finnish Kauhava Style Puukko Knife Maker Etched Blade ". Not sure of age, but nothing that I would take to the antiques roadshow.......LOL
Still looking around...here is something similar.

Hi Rose. Sorry I'm late.....wife came home from the casino a little while ago, $40 richer, so we got to talking about what to eat tonight!..... lol .....
Nice looking knife,..... but know nothing about Scandinavian knives, since I don't collect them and have never owned one....... (Finland is part of Scandinavia, no???) [;>)
Nice Knife Rose...................
lol....it was only $ 1.00 so I did not lose nothing....
Oof! Never say that to a Finn! It is one of the Nordic countries, but NOT Scandinavian!
Well,...... was never too good in Geography..... lol ..... Typical ignorant American!..... lol..... [;>)))))
Has a nice look to it. Does it say something in the groove?
@AZTOM -- it looks like it, I will post a PART II ( a bit later ) on this - as I am trying to see if it says somethings there too.
So keep watching....will post more pics in another Post ( part 2 ) of this post...LOL
