I love puukkos. I currently have one. It is an inexpensive blade combined with handle and sheath of my making. I love it.
The only thing is, I cannot get the hang of sharpening it, so I just set the edge at 20 degrees -- microbeveled it. I know, people say it is supposed to be easy to sharpen on the one bevel, but I just could not get a good edge that way, so I resorted to sharpening at 20 degrees, freehanded. I guess whatever works, works.
I put too much wax on the upper half of the sheath, and that darkened the nice turquoise color -- yuck!

Joonas Kallioniemi...need I say more?
He's back from his term of service in the army and has already posted a couple beauties since he's been back. I have a two knife set that should be finished soon-ish and I can't wait to get them. My single Kallioniemi puukko is getting lonely.
Did I mention that he is in his early twenties? I can't wait to see the quality of his work when he reaches Jukka Hankala's age.

I appreciate these knives more as a result of this thread. Some of you guys take very good pictures; Maybe better than in the promotional material of the manufacturers. I can see how really nice the curly birch can be.

Puronvarsi? I think I recognize that one with the peened guard, because I have seen it on youtube, splitting firewood. Here is another Puronvarsi going through cardboard:

I am very impressed with the edge holding here. They say these are made with Krupp carbon steel, and that would be a steel that has been around for 80 years or more.

Absolutely beautiful blades. Some of my favorite types of fixed blades.

Four year old thread. Doubt the original folk are still looking.
