My Custom Puukko!

[matthewdanger]

That is beautiful! I had a lot of fun watching you unwrap it.

That looks like a stylish and by the looks also a practical puukko, price was not too bad either.

SCOOOOORRRRRRREEEE! Nice knife and kit! Looks almost too pretty to use.

 

[Lycosa]

You have a beautiful little knife there.

 

[PB Wilson]

Wow! What a present, even if it was for yourself.

 

[tknife]

Beautiful knife! Even the way it's packaged is pretty cool.

 

[tacticalsteel]

WOW! Great knife! What a bargain as he sent you a fantastic blade AND toilet paper as a BONUS!!!!

 

[wildmike]

You lucky dog! Puuko's are on of my favorite knives.

Now you need to get out and use it and that fire kit.

 

[OldPhysics]

Now that is a good looking puukko! Congrats! And a nice little fire kit, too.



Yeah. That's an article from Finland's largest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. It's about viral diseases in animals, and that big title in bold font there says: "To viruses, you are just another animal."

Well, I had figured it referred to viruses. But that just confused me!!

Looks like an excellent puukko! :thumbup:

with a perfect example of how well polished it is.

This picture was taken for 2 reason. 1. to show the amazing wood to metal fit. and 2. to TRY and show the peculiar shape of the blade. I don't know if you can tell, but the blade is shaped like a horizontally squished Superman emblem. Very interesting.

That kind of blade profile is usually found in Tommi-puukkos, but it is pretty common in other hand forged traditional puukkos too. Makes an excellent blade for whittling wood.

^ i think that is because it reduces the surface area the could touch whatever is being cut, so, therefor, it reduces the friction.

 

[sharpguytoo]

Wow, whata knife. Thanks for the views, let us know how it uses.

 

[Will Power]

Very fine knife and a lot of very decent pix too!

Sounds like a very reasonable price when you think of all the TIME and SKILL needed to make a knife like that.This is especially the case when the quality is up to par,the quality of that sheath could give some makers a masterclass....

 

[siguy]

looks like a terrific blade! i would be tickled pink to own something like that.

congrats on the purchase, very nice.

also, neat looking firekit. i've never seen a sulfur cup or a birch roll like that-neat ideas!

Darbyfett,
That is one seriously AWESOME knife man...I am really hoping to get one like it some day...thanks for the great pics, and I hope that it isnt a safe queen..you know how I feel about those!:thumbup:

Darby,

Can I get a shot of the blade in your hand? I can get the scale of the knife.

That's a beautiful knife. The craftsmanship that went into that blade is a cut above. The fire kit is also very neat. Some interesting traditional (I'm assuming) items.

 

[BlackHills]

That is a gorgeous knife and a very nice write up. I can see one of those in my future.

Here is a picture of the bag and bone sulfur cup. The bag is a unknown to me type of leather, very durable and well made.

Just a guess, but my money would be on reindeer.
