That birchwood handle ,to me , is the most appropriate for the knife.

That's what I want if I am able to get in on this. Curly birch also feels better than most woods and any synthetic in really cold weather! And looks awesome.
 
New steel notwithstanding I like traditional handle material on Puukkos in particular. Stacked leather is very nice (is that traditional?). Nicely grained woods are great too. Over the top psychedelic burls not my favorite though. I'd rather a brown oak with flecks and rays. My opinion of course :rolleyes: - for the 2¢ that's worth.
 
Excellent project ! Glad I stumbled upon this thread . Puukko knives are some of the finest tools a man can own . I have owned Pukko knives from some of the best . Guys like Pekka T and and Joonas K and I recently got a Tapiio Syrjala . Danjiel is right up there . My wife was able to grab one for my Christmas present last year . I actually use his a lot . I make knives too and I love the fact that you are crossing over with some modern materials . However you may not get the tradionalist to come onboard you will defiantly get guys like me . I do a full tang Puukko that I have done in K110 Bohler and got incredible results , So I would love the opertunity to grab one of these .

Great collab .
 
He auctioned one off on Instagram and I missed it. The time difference messed me up, let it slip through my fingers.
 
My expensive Inkeroinen is made with rainbow silver steeel!

I wonder if 3 hours in LN is enough.
Unfortunately I'm retired so I don't have my equipment or contacts who do. Otherwise I'd do the testing in an instant.
Does he do anything with the birch bark ? Glue , stabilize ,etc ?

I just checked my notes

It was 4 hours LN :P

The Birch bark has been epoxied but he also uses traditional methods such a low heat temp to allow the birch tar from the bark to glue the layers.

I can't tell the difference :P but it's cool to know

Yes the regular birchwood is the most tranditonal
Curly birch and stack bark were luxury materials in the past

Looks great, feels nica, also it was easy to carve which is why it was so prevalent back in the day when most men just bought the blades and made there own handles.

Thanks Brother:)

I'll have to check out your work :)

Congrats on the awesome Christmas Puukko as well

What a great gift!

Like you, I am a knife user

Performance is king

I notice there is a gap between all the different knife circles

What I mean is that folders , kitchen knives, fixed blade knives, etc, each have there own culture and knowledge with limited cross over of information.

For example in the kitchen knife world M4 is known simply as "Rex"

I thought it would be great to cross over with what I've learned with M4 to my favorite knife design.

M4 by no means is a replacement for any good steel with an awesome heat treatment.

Just another option for us to play with

So I can see why a traditionalist would scoff.


But there is no denying the increased performance over silversteel, 52100, and 80crv2

Even against more modern steels like D2 and Elmax.

The wear resistance is much higher with a very high amount of toughness and stability.

Basically it just holds a better edge. Especially if all those steels tried to hold an edge at 63hrc, they couldn't, not on a knife like this.


But they all have there tradeoffs.

I've been really enjoying my M4 in a Puukko, but I wouldn't scoff at a nice piece of 115crV3 ;)





A high quality Puukko is a high quality Puukko regardless, as long as the steel, geometry and heat treatment match the use of the knife and the users preferences.

WOW, don't be greedy! Share my pictures!!!:D

In fact, we need another thread on that knife bro!


I saw a rainbow Gyuto on etsy not too long ago






I am puzzled by the process, how do they do it?! :D

I suppose a combination of the right etch and alloy

Very beautiful, some would say maybe too godly but I bet it really pops in person.

Here's a Japanese hunting knife with it



Very pretty, not going to improve the performance but who cares :D

That Puukko is lovely my friend, tresure it :D

I really have to stop visiting BF. Too much candy - I'm getting kid-in-a-candy-store syndrome :)

Any clues / forecasts to when these special puukkos will be for sale on BF?

I love this thread regardless. Lots of good pics!

Right on brother

Also

Heads up

Birch Bark is available on the sign up list :D

But with a twist.




This is Siberian Birch bark,. Thicker and stronger than standard birch bark.




Much more contrast of color too compared to the regular Birch bark



Here is the older regular stuff

 
Actually, that stacked leather one looks like the king. Given that leather is always available, as opposed to some rare woods, I'd be really happy to see it as an option for this sprint run

Totally cool stuff, Dead. Thanks for this project. This is one of the reasons BF is such an awesome place.
 
Thanks Twindog 😊

I don't think any of this would be possible if it wasn't for the vast amounts of knowledge available to here.


Ive always loved knives but have definitely had an a information revolution since I've been here
