It's been a busy year and with the new baby I have not posted nearly as much as I should. However, we have been carrying a new brand in our store, Kainuun Puukko. It's good to be back.
The KAINUUN PUUKKO® knife smiths start making world famous KP-TOMMI puukkos - the original Finnish Knives - by heating round silver steel in a charcoal fire. Then the knife smiths hand hammer the knife blades thousands of strikes. Next is quenching in oil and the puukko knife edge to the optimal hardness of steel. These stages give the KP Puukko knife blades their unsurpassed, long lasting razor sharpness. During each heat treatment the knife blade gets better edge holding properties - the more heat treating, the better the knife blade. KP-TOMMI knives have over a hundred heat treatments at least.
Here are a few examples of the Kainuun Puukko knives we currently have in stock:
TOMMI SPECIAL, 3.74"
Lion Knife, 3.54" with black tinted artic birch and silver bolsters
Tommi Tako with Guard 3.7"
