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

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

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
