The knife below the motorcycle, on your Promaakari blog, with the dark handle, is nearly perfect in my eyes, Igorrock. Gorgeous work.
Thanks, Even !

I have two of these made in Norway , one has a Damascus blade and the other is laminated . Both are ok knives but in no way can these hold an edge as good as my old Marttiini's or my Karesuando skinning knives
Noways is very normal that factory-made skandinavian puukkos have quite soft blade. I think the reason is that such a blade is easier to sharpen. Skinning knives are then different "animals", they always have harder plates.
I also have a 7" general purpose Finnish Puukko made by a fellow named Antti Makinen that I traded a Norwegian ski trooper for while I was Skiing in the US Marines in Norway . While too large for skinning it is a superb all purpose military knife with a beautiful dark Birch handle and is very sharp.
