Finnish Puhdetyöpuukko

[Warpig]

Hello members

 

I got hold of some militaria artifacts at an auction.  I wanted to present some knives.  These knives were made by soldiers on the front in the trenches during the war on their downtime. The sheaths for the puukkos is Puhdetyötuppi. Puhdetyö is a general word for items soldiers made when they had leisure time.They were usually made from Russian aircraft aluminum taken from downed planes. They would often have intricate designs and would memorialize battles or fallen comrades. I have numbered them because I am selling them.
