Hand made bone knife
« on: May 09, 2011, 07:29:40 PM »
I was surprised by the keen edge this knife holds.   It's razor sharp.
Does the blade appear hand made?  Old or new?  No markings on
the blade.  8" Overall

A laminated steel blade from Scandanavia could explain its edge holding capabilities...looks like a "puukko" or "mora" type blade...and not so much  sloyd haft. I suspect Finnish...could be hand made, but the finer Finnish blades are usually signed or otherwise decorated especially if totally hand made. Just a guess..

It looks like a modern Mora blade with a custom handle put on it to me, but thats just my 2 cents
