My puukkos come from northern Europe and more particularly from Lapland...
The northernmost part of Finland, Lapland, is the magical Arctic region filled with contrasts. Each season in Finnish Lapland is unique and different from each other. The locals say that Lapland has eight seasons instead of four.
In winter, Lapland approaches those who dream of a country of winter wonders. Spring brings the light that follows the long season of « kaamos » (Arctic night in Finnish). In the spring, the snow-covered hills offer exciting experiences to all winter outdoor enthusiasts, from skiers to snowshoe hikers.
Summer in Lapland is a different season. There are endless white nights and peaceful Arctic nature as far as you can see. The burst of summer is followed by the majestic autumn season when Lapland gets its colors « ruska » Really iconic. This is the best season for hiking in one of the many national parks in Lapland. It is meditation and full consciousness, all wrapped in one of the most unique and breathtaking landscapes in the world.
One puukko is a basic tool that is also a life partner and a work companion.
