Puukko hybrid with rhombic blade and stacked leather handle.

The term "Puukko" is famous all over the knife world....it is remarkable how many different knife shapes are named  " Puukko "

even if they have no features on the design of an original traditional Puukko....but never mind.

And all the different spellings are numerous, but according to Finnish information on the Internet it is spelled with double U and double K.

...and besides that, there are a few Finnish traditional Puukko shapes. All of them have a straight tip blade combined with different handle shapes.

One of them is the barrel shaped handle, which is in my opinion the essence of a tool handle.

Here is one with traditional rhombic blade ground from O7 with the tang riveted over the butt, copper fittings and a stacked leather handle.

The sheath is made from semi tanned leather with a rawhide core.

Blade length measures 100 mm and 220 mm overall.

A traditional Thai harvesting basket made from bamboo serves as a back drop....

You guys have a nice weekend.:)

Cheers
