Puukko Influence

[Rick Marchand]

In a nutshell, this is a extremely over-engineered Puukko. Very thick and sturdy... however, the geometry allows it to cut very efficiently. This is the Mike Tyson of Puukkos... not the best looking, most gracefully designed tool... but highly effective.

I have no idea what to call this grind. I have been using it quite a bit recently. It looks simple but a lot is happening with the bevel angles.

Thanks for looking.
Rick

I want one of those. Are they available anywhere? That looks like my ideal bushcraft knife... that would be great paired with my Gransfors Brux Axe...

Not your stereotypical puukko (that from a guy that has to spell check puukko every time he uses it) but I really like the knife and that sheath is to die for. Big sissy that I am I'd like to see some sort of guard for it but it looks very practical. Nice work.

over-engineered/over-built are just modern euphemisms for properly executed.
