Please note that payment for these items cannot be made by PayPal because PayPal has not enabled South Africa to receive payments. Should you wish to purchase please PM me for specific details. Postage take from 3 - 5 weeks via Airmail. I know it sucks but that's the way it has to be done for now.

Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy.
 
I like all of them, Stu, but especially #3, the puuko. All are very different and unusual. I like the puuko, though it normally would not be a style I favor. From the picture, the grind does not look like a typical Scandi grind. Is it the picture or does it have a hollow grind?

No It is not a traditional Scandi Grind. It is indeed hollow ground with a false edge making the blade look more Persian than anything else.
 
Another bunch of really cool blades there Stu......:)
I have 2 of Stuart's Pukko's and they are both beautiful knives. His traditional sheaths are simply awesome.:thumbup:
 
the handle on the Puukko is crazy. i am stumped as to how it is ribbed??
very cool
nice work

Hi,

I like the puuko. Would like it even better if the forging marks were not ground/sanded out.

Do you ever make the puuko with the forging intact?

Thanks
