I had given a thought to renting a U-Haul...

I’m sure they’d never miss it.

My dad actually found these two beautiful knives. I was looking last night and stumbled across them.

Two beauties there!

The first one was on the side of HWY 81 going into town....It wouldn't fit in the car.

That Bowie seems to nice too pass up.... .... maybe next time it would fit on top of the car ....

I think that first knife is a HTT knife. Nice find.

Those are fine-looking Rimingtons! Is there a pattern number either one?
The bone on the one with the punch really got my attention!

About the fanciest one I've ever seen. A prize.

From what I can tell from 6th Edition Sargent. And because dad check off some of what he had, as you can see from the pictures I have attached now.
To answer the # question I could not see a Remington Tang Number on either.

1st Knife single blade from what I can tell is a R3943 sleeveboard Rogers bone. Page 454. My dad has a Check mark by the R3943 sleeveboard brown bone also. This is a 2 blade knife but I have not come across it.

2nd knife is a R373 Equal end Jack Bone. Page 426.

J.O'. ... 1st of all let me just say that your puukko, is absolutely stunning.... I know Finland is outside of what is thought of as proper "Scandinavia", but some of the traditional knives share a resemblance to other knives of the region. I am no expert... but the engraved designs look to be Nordic/Scandinavian influenced and Finland, Norway and Sweden all share the northern area known as the "Lapland" where the puukko is a traditional knife.

That being said, I am in no way an expert, so I am hoping to learn about this knife from someone more knowledgeable than the humble contributor that I am. I attached some Viking designs for comparison, as well as contrast of the handle design of a traditional puukko in the attached picture.

It really is a great piece, with wonderful pictures, great posting J.O'.

I know nothing about Puko's, J.O'., but from all the fancy engraving I get a definite authentic vibe.
As it was said, that is the nicest Puko I've seen. Congratulations on finding that beauty.

I don;t know anything about it, other than it's a fine looking knife, J.O'.

Absolutely stunning!!!!

Found these 3 this weekend...

Thanks all on the Puukko. I was hesitant because it was unmarked. It is a beauty but there's so much "fluff" out there and Puukkos are not my area of collecting. At $40 any bad news won't be to hard a lesso. Keeping fingers crossed. J.O'.

Found at an antique show today; a very nice vintage cigar cutter/box opener, a Western, Boulder P28A in Yellow (In 25 years collecting Westerns, this is the first and only yellow one I've ever seen), a horn handled IXL Wostenholm in excellent shape, and a Case Tested 6165 with the bomb shell shield. Even though it has been repined and has a small center rivet chip, for $50 I wasn't walking away from it. It does have the correct blade and fits perfectly I'm assuming the original pin just needed replacing and someone did it in steel._____Dave

Excellent finds Dave! I really like that Western yellow handle, it's a beauty...

I'll agree with David, "Excellent finds Dave!" but at that we'll part ways, the Old Case 6165 is the one that rings my bell!
Treefarmer

The Western would get my vote ... like that cigar cutter too ... Great scores Dave!!

The yellow handle western is very nice.

That Western is great. What is the handle made of? Possibly marblett?

I am far from an expert, and authenticating the puukko is way above my pay grade. But, IMHO, if not authentic it is the work of a very talented “forger”. It is a beautiful piece.
