Cold Weather

Bought two ( Ragnar and then Redbeard) and gifted both; one to a
NON KNIFE OWNER looking worried when I produced it to open her frozen
foodtupperwear.
The slanted pommel is a perfect thumb rest for a reverse cut and the
Saami pushcut.

Description

The traditional Järvenpää Lapland Puukko is the all-purpose utility knife of the Sami people. As a nomadic people in a harsh environment, they have refined the style over centuries until there is nothing superfluous. The elegant result is a real demonstration that form follows function. The classic Nordic blade is narrow enough to penetrate, has a straight section for slicing, and enough curve at the tip for light skinning chores. The wide, flat pommel allows the use of the off hand to add force to the point. The deep leather sheath is an indication of how serious a lost knife can be in the wilderness. The sculpted handle of arctic birch gives excellent control for the draw strokes that are favored when the hands are gloved or numb with cold.
