What types are these...

Scandis,Anyone know what these knives are, friend gave them to me. He said they were quite old and got them in Norway.

This i think is antler horns and skin on the sheaf and handle.

What type of scandi is this???

the bottom looks like a leuku and pukko set (spelling?). the leuku is used to chop and the pukko is used for thine carvng etc.

Not a scandi expert, but both knives are saami or finnish inspired ones.
While I have never seen anything like the top one (one of a kind?) the bottom one can (could?) be purchased many places in the north. The largest one is too small to fall into the leuku label. It is really two small knives in one sheath. Common tourist product.
It is probably made in Finland (try searching Lapin puukko).
Strømeng makes a real leuku/puukko combination.

Re the bottom one, the handle style is very common here, but the way the blade ridge drops to a point looks a little more unusual.

Re the top model, looks more like a one-off, or tourist model. Out of interest, does the reindeer hair pull out easily? I have some older stuff in reindeer (over 30 eyars old), and the hair comes out very easily.
