A little about Puukko knives... Puukko knives have a flat spine which enables the user to place a thumb or other hand on the spine for extra force when cutting. Puukkos are very versatile and are used primarily as a tool for carving and for fishing and hunting. Hunting puukko's have a blade tip that curves downwards slightly to make skinning and opening the animal easier and less messy. The blade of a Puukko is relatively short, usually about the same length as the handle. Check out these hot new knives from Finland at OsoGrandeKnives.com

Boker Orca Outdoor Gen 2 Fixed Blade

I was handling the new Boker Orca Outdoor Gen 2 fixed blade and was really impressed with the quality and heft of this newly revised model.  Boker has combined the best features of the Orca and Beluga models to create the new Orca Outdoor Gen 2. 

The full tang construction, now made of N690BO steel, provides incredible strength and chopping abilities. 

The three dimensional contoured handle scales made of blasted green canvas Micarta provide outstanding ergonomics and a very secure grip, even under wet or cold conditions. 

If one prefers a flat design, the handle scales can be detached, for a look and feel more like the old Beluga model. The U.S. made sheath by Spec-Ops completes this rugged package.
