Just in from Muskrat Man

mapper66 · Jun 9, 2008

Just received my Puukko from Muskrat Man, at .09" this ought to be a really mean slicer. L6 steel, green micarta scales with red liners, 8 5/8 OAL with a 4 1/4 blade. Thought I'd post some pics up:

Fantastic work at an extremely reasonable price. Going to have to get one of Kalebs bushcrafters on order as well.

Looking good, I think that's my favorite model that I've seen from him. His handle work looks very clean and comfortable. :thumbup:

Wow that's an extremly keen point. How does it perform?

I'll let you know, hasn't been unpacked from the box 30 minutes yet.

It is one of the finer points I have on my blades, think I'll go do a little drilling and test it out.

Looks like you could almost use that to fillet a fish:thumbup:

Man that is one sweet blade, I ordered a bushcraft blade from Kaleb, the wait is never fun lol.

That is the first thing I thought when I held it, very comfortable. The work he has done on the butt end makes it very comfortable in hand.

Without a problem.

Not bad; wouldn't do a lot of prying, but it will work fine for drilling.

It looks like it could skin the hair off a mouses arse....Hows the edge on it?

Past shaving sharp, not quite to hair popping. Gonna hit it with the hone just for grins and see if I can get it to scare the hair off.

Ohhh man! That looks nice Mapper! I love the look of that combination! I got mine today as well. You are right, it just melts in your hand. I just got home and unwrapped it, so I'll post up pics tomorrow (in another thread). Let me know how it hones up. I noticed the slight secondary and thought it would just take some light work to get it really mean, but I'll probably get rid of the secondary after a while. His sheath is really nice too, I might add.

I have been using one of Kaleb's Bushcrafters for a couple weeks and would recommend his work to anyone. Every aspect of the knife is fantastic and the handle is just plain incredible. I have to get another of something on order with him. His Bushcrafter is perfect (for me).
