I was looking at:
VINTAGE FINNISH PUUKKO HUNTING SKINNING KNIFE KNIVES GC Item number: 270332476677
It has 3 days to go, current bid is at 10.95
Would you mind taking a look at it for me?
Irs, I looked at the knife you're talking about. It's an old advertsing fishing knife. Good knife, but the blade is very thin, like the Rapala fillet knives they sell at Walmart. Not a hunting knife or heavy duty tool.
The knife I've been using for many years now is at Ragnars ragweed forge, under Finish knives, number 8224 classic utility knife. This is a very rugged knife that will stand up to about anything you through at it.
The other knife I us alot is the Swedish Mora number 1. I bought htis one to keep in the glove box of y truck, and it's become my go-to knife. I love it because I've used the heck out of it like I didn't care about it because it was only 10 dollars, but its absorbed harsh use like a sponge. I took the plastic sheath and madea leather sheath over it, using the plastic one as a liner. Now Ragnar offers a leather sheath for it. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have bought two or three of the Frosts #1 and stayed with them. They cut like nobodys buisness. For 10 bucks, you can buy one for your pack, one for the glove box, and one for a spare. terrific knives!!!
A mora number 1 and a small hatchet will take care of anything you have to do in the wilderness. My 3 1/2 inch Jarvenpaa has dressed deer, done a zillion camp chores, and like the Frosts mora number 1, stood up to hard use for many years.
The puuko's cured me of expensive cutlery.
