Very unusual and wonderful knife, Gene! I love it!

Thanks Cal! The ivory makes it the most beautiful puukko I have ever seen and I have had some fine stasknivs.

This is one of the few puukkos I have owned. The blade is a Helle, I don't know who made the knife and sheath. Knife and sheath are carved from walrus ivory which is a material I really like. The writing on the sheath translates to "return" or "come back to Tromso", Tromso being a city in Norway. One heck of a souvenir! Mounts on sheath are hallmarked and silver, not nickel.

That would qualify as jewelry. Walrus ivory is especially beautiful to me and that is a fine example. Gorgeous

Beautiful knife but the sheath really sets it off.

The only custom-made fixed blade I own. Made for me by my friend a Guild member, Frank McGowan back in the late eighties.(#39) The handle is antique Sambar stag from an old Sheffield carving set. The blade, guard and butt-plate are Damascus. Overall 10 inches with a 5-1/4' blade. He was a good friend and I cherish the piece. J.O'.

That is a very well-made piece with elegant lines throughout. So many custom knives cannot say that. It is a real keeper.

A nice lil guy, made by a guy on a canadian knife fb group.
7" overall with oak handle, 52100 steel.

[tongueriver]

Another nice one! I love wood and a smaller drop point knife is one of the most useful types of fixed blade.

[chickenman62]

Here's another one from my Helle collection.

[tongueriver]

The Helle you say!

Yeah, i like my smaller fixed blades. I have one i purchased last year, amoore maker, has a horizontal belt sheath. I find is a superb small carry blade. Stay on your belt out of the way.

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks Steve, I kinda see them as little arrow points. Don't know what Frank was going for there but I'm really glad to have a personal piece that we designed a bit together. I brought the handle and the Woodcraft shape, Frank did the details. J.O'.

Thanks CxIII ... I'm going to try and do sone touch up on the spots where the finish has rubbed off and hopefully make it look a little more presentable.
