The Big One

[Todor Hristov]

Hello guys , a friend of mine asked me "What is the biggest puukko that you can make with Elmax blade" , so I checked my quenching plates and I decided that 190 mm would be manageable size. He was ok with it and here is what came out.

Steel – Elmax 59-60 HRC.
OAL - 314 mm (~12.4").
Blade - 188Х28Х5.2mm (~7.4x1.1x0.2") rhomboid grind.
Blade finish - p 800.
Handle – Karelian birch, g10 spacers and brass.
Leather sheath with wooden insert .
Weight with/without sheath - 232/312 grams.
