For Sale: Custom Puukko with AK Blade
I posted this knife in the Fixed Blade forum and gave this description:
Here is a fantastic knife that is not a full puukko. The blade is all puukko, forged by Altti Kankaanpaa an old highly regarded Finnish smith. The handle was made by a knife maker in North Carolina. The blade is 4 1/8" and the handle a full 5" is very comfortable in hand. This long handle enables one to apply more pressure on the blade if needed. Handle is comprised of: brass, stacked leather rings, buffalo horn and "leopardwood".
This handle makes the knife heavier than a true puukko which is lighter in weight with a plain handle, oval in cross section & no guard.
The sheath can be worn as a dangler or on the belt. The snap in fit of the knife is more 'positive' than i have ever experienced. There is an audible 'click' as the knife seats itself. Although only the very end of handle is exposed, and the fit is snug, i can still extract the knife easily. The quality of this sheath is as good as any i have ever owned. It is right up there with a Bob Dozier(not the shop knives, but the ones Bob makes himself) or Burt Foster made sheath. I have never had a better sheath.
New, just as received from maker. I bought this to use but i don't have enough time to use all of the ones i had hoped to, so i'd like someone else to try it out.
Price: $130 shipped.
If interested please send me a PM or email: rprocter@telus.net

Beautiful knife. Too bad I don't have the cash right now.

BUMP.
How about $100 for the knife & sheath, plus $15 to help cover the cost of shipping from Canada.

Wow- about time too my friend - this is such a nice Knife - strangely enough I was looking back in this very Knife late last night and had pretty much made my mind up I would grab it - so I am very please Roland you sold another knife - this was a very very good price- the ONLY thing that stopped me hitting that button long before was it’s only just outside my direction as to where I am going with collecting.
Nice!
Nice!

Re: For Sale: Custom Puukko with AK Blade
Thank you gents. I think the buyer will be quite pleased. It should edge hold much longer than blades with an edge grind.
