New member's Puukko

I certainly do like it!
Very clever and tasteful use of different materials, and surfaces: a mix of polished/rough areas on the blade is especially appealing. And the "bear claw" mark iis just pure fun!
Stick around, man! You earned your admission
Welcome!

Jussi,

Search for Puukko and you will find some nice threads. Scandinavian knives, to put it in a categorie, are collectors items as well and considered as ethnographic arms.

A lovely puukko, a work of nice craftsmanship and art. Is this
one you made? If so, I bow to your skill and design instincts.

No no no no Rich, I didn't do it, it was a friend of mine who is a third generation traditional Puukko-smith. He´s name is Markku Vilppola. It´s all traditionally made... you should see the guys damascus... You can see something with google. I will also try to see if I still have some old pics when I come from work in the evening

I know I have pics of a damascus Viking spear head somewhere...

I have seen pictures of his work in Ristinen's book and online.
A gifted knife smith.
