Back in ye olden days people used to indeed just club each other to death with a long and heavy club.

Everyone in the countryside obviously carried a knife for practical purposes, though, and there were occasionally gangs of young punks who kept stabbing each other over petty feuds. This persisted up until perhaps the late 19th century and became more urban as time went on. They called themselves “Puukkojunkkarit,” which does more or less means “knife punk.”

Ironically, this has somewhat gone full circle with EDC’s. I carry one most of the time. Less stabbings, though, which is nice.

If you’re interested in more knowledge than I can impart:

Puukkojunkkarit

Yes, Finland, but Finnish. I’ll spare you the knife fight since you seem like a nice guy.

Jokes aside, it was indeed something that occurred here to settle disputes way back. We’re a little bit more civilised now ;)

Finland, just so we’re clear. Otherwise, it’s going to have to be a knife fight at the closest city centre. Finnish tradition and all.

Should’ve told her.
