Finnish Photo Fridays: Finnish Army Puukko Knives

Today we take a look at several photos from the Finnish National Archives depicting Finnish soldiers using, making, and showing off their puukko knives. The puukko is a traditional Finnish knife. Although the exact origin of the term is unknown, the most widely accepted theory suggests that "puukko" referred to a knife designed specifically for working with wood. While "knife" and "puukko" are sometimes used interchangeably in Finnish, this is not accurate. All puukkos are knives, but not all knives are puukkos.
