    Another estate sale find of a rather cool fixed blade knife that is actually signed on the blade which is foreign to me.Also has a rather ornate sheath with a lion on it and a flag that I'm not familiar with. Knife is about 9 1-2 in long with a 5inch blade. Also appears to have a small etched brass component below tang. I found the hard it's extremely sharp. Does anyone have any info on this piece.

      Thanks Vet that might make it easier to make out what is written on the blade.

      The name of the maker would be at the top and I read Suomi underneath.

      It seems Eino Lahdensuo began a cottage industry around 1929 making puuko.
