[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4375110, member: 46104"] Thanks for the link, a fascinating and historic collection. My eyes went straight to the Sammi knives. The closest I have to historic are a couple of the Swede knives, one made in the 1930s, and another in the 1950s. I read much on the Suomi knives as I prefer their blade style more than Swede or Norse, but purchased very few. The Sammi knife in the Swede herd a typical commercial knife by a family, but I bought it actually for the blade, the blade maker was a famous Kauhava puukkoseppa, Altti Kankaanpää, who for a short while set up in his own shop a commercial blade production, and the steel he used and his heat treat resulted in a "factory" blade of quite excellent performance, well worthy of his mark on them. I thought it interesting a handmade knife maker producing his own marked "factory" blades which in turn tied the handmades in quality. [/QUOTE]
