The Puukko

I've shown these before, but they belong in this thread as well.

Can you tell me the brand/maker of this fine blade? Thanks

That knife was made by Pekka Tuominen, one of Finland's seven mastersmiths. He is also the one who designed the Spyderco puukko.

Masterful, Christian! An absolute stunner!

I just went to his site....breathless

Thanks Gev. It's my favorite belt knife.

Karl-Erik Lindblad made this one for me with a damascus blade forged by Göran Enocksson,

Another fantastic puuko thread!

Robin - I really dig your work, esp. that mammoth/walrus leuku! But those simple little carving puukkos in dark maple are a joy to look at as well. There is a beautiful simplicity to them that speaks to what I find so attractive about Finnish knives. :thumbup:

Kris - Another stunning example, as I've come to expect! Just when I think I've seen most of your collection at one time or another, you pull out a gorgeous suprise like that.

My puukkos are nothing exotic, just fairly pedestrian users, but when I get a chance, I'll post a few pics. In the meantime, let's keep this going!
