Item Details
A RARE US Army Special Forces Presentation Pukka Knife, commemorating the Finnish/US Spec-Ops hero Larry Thorne/Lauri Torni. The commemorative puukko was made by Iisakki Jarvenpaa Oy in Finland. On the right side of the blade is "Larry Thorne USA 10th SF" on the left side it says "Lauri Torni SA (in a box) SISSI". On the nickel silver bolster it has his service time in both the Finnish and US Army "1939-44-1952-69". The sheath has the US Special Forces shoulder sleeve insignia (patch) and the Finnish Sissi insignia. The butt is serial numbered "15". The blade is about 5" long, has a curly birch handle and is near mint. Only about 140 were produced, and were given to distinguished Spec-Ops personnel. The last one sold years ago went for $725! Larry Thorne was a Finnish WWII Captain who extensively fought the Soviets in the Winter and Continuation Wars, mostly behind enemy lines. He trained and fought with the SS until Finland expelled them. Dissatisfied with post-war Finland, he moved to the USA and eventually joined the US Army Special Forces. Stationed in Europe, Iran and later in Vietnam, he was highly decorated. He was killed on a clandestine mission in 1969.
