IS there anyone in the US that makes what would be called a "huggare" or "röjkniv" in Swedish, or Leuku in Finnish? Possibly with a hand forged or damascus blade? Having one made in Sweden is an option but I would like to know what my options are over here.

There are plenty of Finnish, and even polish blades of this type available on the internet but I would prefer a US or Swedish made blade.

Thanks

You should be able to find makers , info etc about these knives on Bladeforums.

Rick go over to Knifedogs

Ask around. There are a lot of knife makers that will make what ever you want.

Here is one with Brusletto blade. Build by myself. I would say that finnish or norwegian leuku blades are IMO as good as any swedish made.
