hello guys,

I have a gripping armored puukko for sale.

blade is forged by finnish smith antti makinen in 0.7C tool steel (equivalent to 1070) - tempered to about 59Hrc.
dimensions: 4" x 0.2" x 0.8"

handle is made in ebony and brass, 4.7" long.

sheath sewn and wet formed from a single piece of 0.16" vegetable tanned leather, impregnated by beeswax.

a few words about the knife:
I designed this puukko to be steadfast in hand, both through the curvaceous shape, segmented body and it's textured, tactile surface.
carved details and texture are crisp and clean.
brass pin is hidden by cow horn inlays.
sheath is rigid and secure, covering most of the handle. knife snaps into place.

price is 237USD shipped to your door.

of course, I'm open to questions and suggestions.

have a nice day,
Mile

This is really cool & intriguing...I dig the less traditional handle shaping with the very traditional knife type. There's a lot going on in this handle, the Ebony (I didn't know Ebony could actually be black any more btw!) is textured throughout, & evenly at that, then you've got the inlays, it looks like you've even got inlay around the cool decorative gem - really a great knife here!

Hey, before someone yells at you, I think you may need to update your user designation to "knifemaker" or something so you can sell here - bravo man!
 
thanks for the heads up, man.
I use texturing all the time, from simple forms (such as this one) to complex ancient stuff:

it provides a good grip and is pleasing to the eye/fingertips.

Another fantastic looking knife! I've got two of this mans blades and they are mighty fine.
 
So.. let me get this straight.. that handle is ebony wood? If that's correct, my mind is blown.
 
exyzzy, I will let you know by the end of the day, if that's ok. I'm waiting for a confirmation / negation.
Mike, yep, splendid stuff it is!
thank you Y'shua :)
 
The texturing is amazing, it totally transforms the material until it doesn't even resemble what it started out as. Marvelous. Do you use leather type tools or make your own? Just fantastic.
Thanks, Neal
 
hey neal, for this texture I use a dental micromotor with a small diameter carbide ball burr - the trick is to create a tightly woven random pattern.
 
I guess it's still available since the interested party has not responded.
here are few more photos of better quality.
