Puukko Purist Questions

[Ramrodmb]

I love my Malanika puukko. Easily one of my favorite knives. It's not "traditional" in the sense that the handle isn't the "correct" material, but I feel as if he hits the nail on the head with his puukko knives. Form, function, durability.

Yes he does! That is beautiful!

I found only one problem with owning a Puukko by Malanika, is that they are ADDICTIVE and can easily turn less strong willed people into serial Puukko buyers!

Same problem I got with Pasi Hurttila and Martti Malinen.

ALL puukko are addictive. I've about 300 of them; most vintage/antique, a few modern and customs.

This thread planted the seed that ultimately grew into this one's arrival yesterday:

Pasi Hurttila Tuohipää puukko, 90mm blade, K510 silver steel. The craftsmanship is incredible.

I'm looking forward to learning to use it to its potential.

Your update may have planted that same seed for me. I just read through this whole thread, and I'm now about to embark on the 'Educate me on the Puukko' thread. Going to fill up my coffee cup and put work on pause this afternoon!

I've love to show them, but I don't have a digicam - sorry.

Gorgeous! I was excited to receive an email from Pasi a few days ago.

They're very captivating knives, both in looks and history. The Educate me on the Puukko thread is a great one. Enjoy your reading!

Thanks Brett. Emails from Pasi are indeed exciting.

That beautiful puukko looks right at home in that setting.

If this thread is still active, I finally got a cheap digicam and have learned (sort of) how to use imgur to show them. I'll post some pics of my puukko collection if anyone is interested.

Oh yeah, would love to see them!

I will try. These are old pics of about half my collection. Too many to show individually. Mostly pre-1950's era puukko; many different makers and different models by same maker. My oldest is a 1890's Fiskars; a couple custom - one Tommi, two Vikstroms and a few others. Hope these pics show up Is there a way to just show the pictures without loading the Imgur page?
