Sami knife
The Sami knife (Skolt Sami: jõnn-neiʹbb, Inari Sami: stuorrânijbe, Northern Sami: stuorraniibi, all of which mean "big-knife", and Finnish: lapinleuku, leuku or lapinpuukko) is a large knife traditionally used by the Sami people. == Uses and structure == The Sami knife has a long, wide, and strong blade that is suited for light chopping tasks such as de-limbing, cutting small trees for shelter poles (See lavvu), brush clearing, bone breaking and butchering tasks, and is sometimes used as a substitute for an axe for chopping and splitting small amounts of firewood from standing dead trees—an essential ability when all dead and fallen wood is buried underneath many layers of snow—or for combat.
