BOREAL Knives - Foragers Knife #5

Having a sub-collection of puukko mushroom knives among my many other puukkos, I grabbed this one as soon as Redbeard got it. It wreaks of quality materials & construction.
The thin but rigid Lauri SS blade, which actually measures 55 mm, is shaped for shrooms & is extremely sharp. It extends from a thick 3-mm brass guard capping spruce burl handle ending in a matte black ebony wood pommel. From it emerge 3 1-in bunches of somewhat-too-soft natural bristles. Without them, total handle length is 4 5/8 in, its circumference 4 1/8 at thickest. Not a "true" puukko, as the handle is comprised of 2 separate scales with black vulcanized rubber between. Unknown how far tang extends into it. Not of traditional puukko style, the sheath, while well constructed & molded to hold the knife sufficiently tight, is a study in overkill--far too large & heavy for this relatively small, lightweight tool. I'll use the paracord for a hat chin strap because the knife + sheath weighs over 1/4 lb, rendering it too clunky to wear around neck. Better to wear at waist, where it'll fit
a belt < 2-in wide. Overall, I like not love this piece, but am glad I bought it. At $189.99, it is 2X some similar mushroom puukos in my collection.
