Finns are truly masters in history denial.

Fun fact: you also lost the winter war.

So why Russian Church is official in Finland?

>ruled by the Russian Emperor
>the Russian Emperor is a GERMan living in Russia
????

Trump is also an ethnic German so I guess America is our clay then.

America is mostly g*rman so if you want all the mutts that go with it yeah

What do you mean? Less than 1% Finns are orthodoxs

Based ally.

>Russians couldn't enter said Russia

You lost the cold war.

Finnish Orthodox church is autonomous and pre-dates Muscovites. The church stems from Novgorod.

Here's something for you on a civilised language.

Maybe we'll keep on discussing national knves?
For example, why do italians always use 420 steel on different pattadas and switchblades?
Why can't they mass-produce their duel knives (the ones inspired by navajas of Catalonia)?

allowed is a very loose term. people carry puukkos around regardless of the law and the only times people get in trouble for having one on their person is when they try to start shit after a couple too many drinks

cops won't even confiscate knives from sober people even though they are legally required to do so

As far as I know, there are no knives in London or the rest if the UK

Every household has a machete here.

for gardening, perhaps?

>german king
finnish education
>>russians couldn't end the said russia
)))
Even we Russians can't reach the levels of Finnish history denial, and we're, you know, pretty good in it.

Gardening, defense, cutting shit.

DIE CIS SCUM

No, you were part of the Russian empire. Or else you wouldn't have celebrated your 100th birthday last year.

hmm. they are very good gardening tools, they cut through just about any plant matter
my friend who is into smithing made a machete out of a suspension spring. it is even good for cutting up firewood (though I prefer using an axe)
what do you use it for defense against?

>what do you use it for defense against?
I would assume for defending your household or killing things like snakes.

snakes prefer high grass
if you keep the grass surrounding your house short, snakes are not a problem

Back in the 60's people used to steal weapons from the army and just walk around with shitty uzi's on them , which is very dangerous , it's one of the lightests triggering guns in the world.
idk if its a "culture" but i heard it wasn't as uncommon as you'd think.

so what happened? how many were injured/killed by these guns?

No point when I have a gun

bonde spotted
people don't carry knives here unless they are white trash hillbillies

if I was American I'd conceal carry Walther PPK AKA James Bond's CCW

Jow Forums always says that PPK is shit.

A magical place

Yes, we have an ancient tradition on knifemaking for agro-pastoral use and for duel.
We also have some ancient knife (and stick) fighting styles in the south.

We don't use only 420 steel for pattadas and switchblades.

We don't mass-produce duel knives because it's senseless since they have only a collectable value. Only few master artisans continue to produce them for the delight of collectors.

>the ones inspired by navajas of Catalonia
How do you know who inspired who?
Serious question.

italian knives are inferior to just about every puukko ive ever seen

Sorry, I don't care about your opinion.

>How do you know who inspired who
In special literature Zompafuossos and similar knives are often mentioned as Catalonia-style knives.
Also, Camorra had strong ties to spanish culture, according to some books.
>We don't use only 420 steel
Yes, sometimes italians use 440.
>it's senseless since they have only a collectable value
But Martinez is capable of mass-making large navajas with 440 steel and staghorn handles. Why italian knife makers are incapable of the same? For sure people in Maniago are taught to work.

finnish puukko is first and foremost, an all-purpose tool

you talk big about your useless switchblades and "duel knives". both are faggot shit

>faggot shit
Not really. Their predcessors were utilitarian and more concealable than a big puukko or any other knife. Not as durable, since, you know, less moving details - less things to break

>In special literature Zompafuossos and similar knives are often mentioned as Catalonia-style knives.
Thank you, I didn't know about that.

>Yes, sometimes italians use 440.
Sure, sometimes is 420 or 420, just not always.

>But Martinez is capable of mass-making large navajas with 440 steel and staghorn handles. Why italian knife makers are incapable of the same?
I don't know, maybe they think it wouldn't be so profitable, or maybe they don't have enough money to do it.

This "better than you" way to speak is so childish... I'm sure you can enjoy your puukkos without thinking about other traditions.

or 440*

>knife culture?
Not really, lot of the early colonial knives where usually some kind of utility butchers knife from England- which types and patterns of still are around in some shape or form. Most of those sort of fall into the late trade knife types out of Sheffield. Just about every farmer or stockman also has some kind of sheepsfoot style lockback folder and we tend to use them for various animal maintenance things.and fisherman still have them on boats as well.
Also very long history of timber getters axes from the very earliest days.

Nothing really as far as 'culture' related to stabbing people, for the most part disputes where settled with fists even amongst complete scumbags and if shit really got out of control, someone might get glassed or shot- even then it was a cultural no-no solving an argument by shanking someone.

even a 2€ swedish Mora puukko is better for stabbing than any Italian knife
I've been stabbed before, with a custom puukko no less. so I should know
>This "better than you" way to speak is so childish
I like Italy but the finnish puukko is simply the best knife for just about anything

It's older than the muscovite one

Uh, rattlesnakes don’t care. They live in places without grass and look for places like rocks and holes to hide under. Got stones or machines in your backyard? They’ll hide under them and bite you when you move something.

You haven't been stabbed with coltello alla romana yet, it would be hard to judge without an experience like this

>coltello alla romana
just googled that
seems like a fairly standard switchblade

It's not a switchblade, it's manual opening knife with wider blade. The only common thing with switchblades is the lock that's construction is close to picklock.

Here. Looks wider than any puukko I have

is this what italians use for vendetta then?
it certainly looks more vicious than a regular puukko. but I'll stick with the puukko I have
looks like a murder weapon from an agatha christie novel

had sword culture but not knife
you'd be arrested if you carry long cooking knives these days

Maybe kaiken could be considered a knife.

true, the Kaiken is also called Futokoro-Gatana (懐刀) , so it's a kind of Katana (刀) but short as a knife
