Interesting blade and handle configuration.
I think it is a cheese or cake knife or some other specialized kitchen knife. I was thinking about having a kydex sheath made for it and making it into a neck knife...treefarmer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 3:11 amInteresting blade and handle configuration.What was it designed to do?

What a great story T.F. and what a great knife! Thanks for the postingtreefarmer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 9:18 pm Here's one that belonged to one of my 1st cousins who was much older than me. Some how my mother took it away from him when he was a youngster doing something out of line. He passed back in 2018, he too was a Master Electrician at Cape Canaveral.
Strange how we end up with certain things from our family's past.![]()

I have a couple of Puukkos and at least one Mora. I just gave one of the the Puukkos to my wife to use as a paring knife, she liked the way it fit her hand.
It is razor sharp, so I hope she wasn't planning on gutting me in my sleep. (Not that I don't deserve it) Much like the Opinel, I just can't find any love for the style. Yea, I know that they are good knives, just not for me.
Thank you! I will suggest that, I am sure she will appreciate the tip.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 3:56 am"It is razor sharp, so I hope she wasn't planning on gutting me in my sleep"...Maddogfl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 9:20 pm There are some gorgeous knives in this thread.

waiting on cleaning the blade until after about 10 minutes might give it a really outstanding patina... (see patina thread under general topics)...
Just saying...
