Lapin Puukko knives are made in the small town of Tervola in Finnish Lapland, near
the artic circle. The shop was founded in 1974 by Esa Silvola. It has since grown to five knife
makers.
The knives are very traditional in form and severely functional in style. They have little in the
way of decoration, but are made with the highest quality materials. They are knives meant to
be used. Click on the image for a larger image of the knife and it's sheath.
