    I got one of these in the early 70's still have it and the "original" sheath. I have its "big brother" also 1960's approx. They look great together, side by side in their leather holsters. 🤗

    Have that one and it was called a bird and trout knife when I got it. I was shopping for door prizes to give out at a WW Hunt and got the larger version as the prize but I couldn’t pass the mini up! It’s on my hip through most of the hunting season, pretty much a do it all blade for me.

    Nice little fixed blade , it has a it of the Pukko to it . The sheath while nicely constructed is a bit complicated for my taste , I would feel like I was practicing
    oragami , every time I drew or sheathed the knife . A tube sheath , similar to
    that found on a true Pukko would have been nice but the guard ( there for
    liability reasons I'm sure ) would make that difficult , so they gave you a
    quasi tube sheath instead , keeping with the "Finn " theme .
    Great review . Peace , Be Free .

    • @ThriftyKaniffy
