Yes you can, but then when someone "Reminds you" you feel like a real Dufus!
OK, The Pukko IS FINNISH! I knew it was a Scandinavian country, but couldn't remember which one! Please don't hate me JUST because I'm forgetful, I've been called ugly too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So the national knife in Finland is called puukko. Leuku is a big knife from Lappland.
Customs aren't the problem. It's the 23% tax!

Ok, Geography isn't my strong suit. Course I'm not sure I actually have ANY suit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

The Puukko, the ORIGINAL bushcrafters knife!
Evidently I can't spell either. Had to change this to spell the knife correctly!

Sweden and Norway have their own models. They are quite similar to Finnish puukko.
Of course I don't hate you Randy. It's nice to fool around a bit some times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

23 Percent tax! That WOULD hurt!

It does hurt! First the delivery fees and then the tax!
Makes me really think about the next purchase!

One thing that is difficult sometimes,and I tend to forget, is that sometimes joking across the language barrier does not always come out the right way. Didn't you say that your phone or computer translates things into the Finnish language automatically?

Delivery Fees, you mean the cost of postage? Or is there a special fee involved.

Well it's time for me to logout. As usual it was a pleasure chatting with you.
I promise you: next time you come to Finland I will make you grilled salmon as much you can eat! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I just mailed out a knife to a fellow Dog and I got the box from the Post office. The TOTAL coast for the box, mailing fee and insurance came to $8.20 cents. That's not to bad actually.
