Any interest in Finnish and Scandinavian hunting knives?

[L61R]

Hey all!

Through a friend I may have been given first dibs on a fairly large collection of Finnish and Scandinavian style hunting and fishing knives.

I have yet to go there and check it all out so I don’t know much about the collection yet more than they say it is ”vast” and I am told most are new and never used but some may have some handling marks. Apparantly the elderly owner bought most from old sporting goods stores and hunting stores when they shut down.

I wonder if there would be any interest among the membership to own a Finnish or Scandinavian hunting knife to go with your Sako when hunting?

Since I have so little info right now, I will just show some pics of similar knives. Pics are ”borrowed” from the great interwebs.

As for prices, I know too little to even make a guesstimate. Some of the knives are probably available in the US and elsewhere but I am given something of a ”promise” stating that prices will be ”competitive”.

But since it’s such a huge collection I must feel certain that I can get rid of at least a large chunk of it quite quickly, hence my question.

So if anyone is interested just make a short comment and post below.
I am asking around on other forums as well.

All the best!

I probably would not be interested in hunting knives as I have many, including one Finnish custom blade I got at a craft market in Senate Square in Helsinki. I would, however, be very interested in a Finnish NCO knife. If I remember correctly, those were designed by Akseli Gallen-Kallela.

I had a nurse friend whose husband died. I ran into her at her garage sale where I bought boxes of hunting and shooting books. She asked if I knew about guns, I did. I helped her appraise 150 various firearms. She then showed me his knife collection. Over 600 of all manner of knives- most new in the box. I didn't know knives, but a sheriff deputy friend of mine did. He sold all on eBay and earned 10% commission. Most went to Japan. I didn't get any of them. They were above my pay grade at the time. Ruana's, a couple Morseth, gerbers of all types, EK's. So many. Her husband also had a sporting goods store and it was obvious. Good luck!
