Finnish puukko usually has < 1" wide blade. In the old days puukko was an all around tool, kitchen knife and a negotiator in complex social confrontations.

Nowadays puukko is used as a woods/hunting/fishing knife and is wery good in wood carving. Puukko has quite thin blade and it's often about 4" -5"long.

My first impression when I saw the WD was it's a puukko. Well American made puukko. WD has also details of a fighting knife. Drop point, thick blade, finger guard and a gap between cutting edge and finger guard.

Because I wasn't here for the Muk I think the WD is a brilliant knife to be my first SY!
