Järvenpää 1244 Aito Puukko

The Järvenpää Aito Puukko is a masterpiece of a utility knife. The handle made from stacked layers of birch bark with solid ends of red bronze. There are also bronze and Black fiber decorative spacers. The handle is polished and oiled, rather than Varnished, and is more common. This improves the grip, and is much more comfortable. The handle fits well in my small to average sized hand perfectly. It has just enough shape for control without restricting you to any single grip.  The tang of the blade extends the full length of the handle and is visible at the pommel. The sheath has a plastic insert and a brass reinforcing band at the top. The suspension strap is attached to the band with a ring. I can see the whole outfit lasting several generations.
