these are all excellent cutters but a common denominator in almost all of them is the lack of guard or cover between the handle and the blade.I know I know, responsible use and common sense go first, but these blades sure were intended to be occasionally used on animals and game, getting covered in blood and fat, thus making them slippery. Scandinavia, Finland, Norway... in such cultures and countries of origin falling snow, ice and water abound so it's not a rare occurence to have the knife covered in snow (melting into water with your hand's heat) while you're using it. Another thing making it potentially dangerous without a guardThat's my initial impression at least.Please enlighten me
Here's one my wife got me many years ago, a Frosts by Mora:A gem of a Scandi.
I think your wife is a keeper Nix!

Ahti puukko. Haven't used this one much, but so far I really like it.

Fantastic knives in here folks. I've got a good number of Scandinavian knives but I need to take some new pictures. A question though; I've got knives from Sweden, Finland and Norway, but I think I'm lacking anything from Denmark. Any makers I should be looking at?

Not quite my bag these days, but definitely some good designs.Quote from: greenbear on February 24, 2018, 09:32:24 AMA couple of my Scandis...(Image removed from quote.)That top one is something a little bit special.
