I made small hole in the wood,smaller than a tang,fill that hole with epoxy and then beated tang as nail into the wood.

Beautiful burl.

Gorgeous. If this sits too long it is mine, so you procrastinators had better hurry up if you want this.

Make another one with the metal bolster and butt and I'll buy it.

The fancy ones are nice - I also have one. But for me, this simple traditional one here would be perfect user.

Hard to believe that comes from Croatia.

Both puukko and the sheath are very traditional Finnish style. (and look very well made)
The blade is not hand forged though, am I right?

How is untreated oak as a handle material? Is it more slippery than birch? I've used Puukkos with birch, curly birch, birch bark and goat willow handles. (I think those are most usual here and in about that order.)

Why?

No,is not forged blade. This oak is treated with tung oil, after sanding to 1000. Is not more slippery than any other wood.

I was just surprised that someone in Croatia makes such a perfectly traditional no-frills (in a good sense) puukko.

Thanks for info about the handle. Makes sense. Oak is rare here (it grows wild only in the very south of Finland) so that's probably the reason why it's seldom used.

Btw. In the past maasenpän puukkos had often blades forged from used files or rasps.
