Knife Experts?

[Couzer]

I picked this up for $30, probably paid to much but it looked interesting. Story is that a guy purchased from a estate sale from a Doctor that collected knives in Kansas. 

Anyone good at identifying knives?

Off the top of my head.  Looks like it could be an older  Finnish knife in a German sheath and likely a Birch handle. Good find. Pukko sheath's usually covers the knife to nearly the end of the grip. Use it and enoy it. 

Some collector here will have more info.

I was able to reach out to a guy that knows a little about Puukko knives. He sent me this:

"KAUHAVA is inscribed in the blade,  a city in Finland that is famous for producing knives. Yours looks like a working knife PUUKO is how they call this type of knives. It is carbon steel so you have to oil it after work. Definitely a old piece of history. Use it and enjoy.
