A couple Scandinavian knives I found this morning at the flea market.

I gave $25.00 for them.

Top:

Finnish Puukko knife....Still researching that one.

Bottom: Helle (Norway) Boy Scout/Kid's knife

Speider Pike

Ask any Norwegian today what his or her first knife was, and the answer will be “speiderkniv med raud tupp” from Helle.

Cool knives. The part of the country I live in has a very large Norwegian community, so I see those every once in awhile.

Norwegians are funny people, this is their idea of a taco...

As it regards the kid's knife....

Children started off with a knife with a guard. When they learned to properly handle the knife the guard was removed, later (usually a holiday/birthday) they are presented with a nicer guard-less knife.

That probably explains why I see a lot of four-fingered Norwegians.

As best as I can figure thus far the Puukko was made pre-WW-2 on their Lapland pattern. The handle is burl birch.

I'm putting it in my G-Grandson's gun/knife hope chest.
