Puukko

[G L Drew]

When the northern Scandinavians wear their traditional costumes a puukko is almost always part of the dress. This knife is also a working tool that gets used for anything from wood carving to butchering. A true every day carry for these folks. I tried to create a sheath that looks like the standard for the puukko but I think I only got close.

1/8 inche ATS34
Mirror finish
Handle material is Baltic birch burl (A customer in Sweden traded me this wood for a knife)
Overall length: 9 1/4 inches
Blade: 4 5/8 inches

$180 ____SOLD____delivered to the US or Canada. My PayPal account is gldrewknives@yahoo.com I will also take checks with time to clear or money orders.

That is a great rendition of the Puukko, right down to the sheath. Good job!

So is that a full "scandi" grind or is there a secondary bevel?

That is very nicely done. Gerry, your work just keeps on getting better. If you have a "comfort zone'' of design it doesn't show.

 

[pitdog]

Wow, that's one of your nicest pieces yet !!!!

Off topic can I just say that IMO your work is some of the very best on this forum,the only niggly thing that puts me off a little is how you always use hollow grinds, do you do other grinds by request ?

Yes, I can do any type of grind (I'm such a prostitute) but the hollow grind is the quickest and helps me keep the price in line.

Very nicely done. The puuko is one of my favorite blades.

Do you have photos of flat ground - past or present knives?
