Ahti Kaato Leukupuukko Knife

The Kaato ("Autumn") bridges the gap between the two most traditional scandinavian knife designs, the puukko and leuku, by taking some features of each.  The blade is a medium size and suited for a wide variety of tasks such as skinning, chopping, butchering, or other camp or wilderness tasks.  The handle is nicely formed with impressions at both ends to help maintain a firm grip even during heavier work.  The handle is sized for slightly larger hands, and the sheath is a traditional Scandinavian deep pouch design.
