An interesting cultural hybrid, that. There's a very strong minimalistic, functional strain in both traditional Japanese and modern (well, old school modern) Finnish design, and this combines the two quite nicely.

Very nice, you don't see a lot of puukko in international forums. I like the idea of visakoivu shirasaya, that is certainly unique design.
