Igorrock,

Thanks for letting me know which way the knife sits in the sheath. I always wondered which way it was supposed to go.

I googled up Ville Pikkusaari, and saw a knife that was virtually identical to the one I have.

Unless he's been making knives for more than 50 years, then the ones he makes is a copy of the one I have. My uncle gave me the knife in 1970-1971. He and my aunt moved to my hometown in ID from Missoula, MT in 1961 and he had the knife at that time. The reason he probably gave it to me, is, even as a 7 year old in 1961, I would admire the knife sitting in his gun display cabinet, whenever I was at their home. I surmise that it was made in the 40's or 50's, the latest would have to have been 1960.

Thanks for the information, interesting knives to be seen when googling up the name you provided.
