I bought this a couple years ago. It's still in shirasaya; I haven't been able to afford (other priorities) to have it properly mounted yet.

One of a set of weapons called Butterfly knives, a traditional Chinese weapon, not to be confused with the Filipino variety. It is heavily modified from the traditional design which is single edge and usually plain.

Particularly nasty is the third one from the left, a Cold Steel dagger that is so sharp that I barely poked the tip into my finger and I mean barely, and it was a week long ordeal of butterflies and band-aids to close the hole. I don't want to imagine having that rammed into me. Ooops, I just did. Shudders.

Thats a leuku^^^. A traditional sami knife used for cutting small fire wood, and preparing caribou. The smaller one's (3-4 inch blades)are called Puukko's

The Finnish word Leuku is most often used. In Norwegian the word used is Samekniv.

The word Samekniv is a great simplification of something more complex.

Here's a website showing different knifes made and used by the Sami people for different purposes: http://girji.info/ruovdi/jern3a.htm

The immappable world of our journey. A pass in the mountains. A bloodstained stone. The marks of steel upon it. Names carved in the corrosible lime among stone fishes and ancient shells. Things dimmed and dimming. The dry sea floor. The tools of migrant hunters. The dreams encased upon the blades of them. The peregrine bones of a prophet. The silence. The gradual extinction of rain. The coming of night.

Bought this on a whim back in August...


Have to admit...I like it! Thin blade, holds an edge ok, easy enough to sharpen, handles well. My tomatoes didn't stand a chance...

Looking for nice set of steak knives...any recommendations? Not too pricey...good value, quality... Thinkin' of a set of Henckels...?

Cheers!
