Finnish puukko knives.
No unnecessary frills, no superfluous size, weight, or elaborate handles--- just a simple design that has withstood the test of time.
Interestingly, most authentic ones have blades of silver steel (English or German source).
I didn't buy one, content as I am with my 5" bladed knife made of an ancient railway spike. The carbon content of old ore significantly was better, I'm told.
Any knife collectors/fans here?
