The Puukko

[spict]

I went to Marttiini store today in Santa’s village. Their newish carbon leuku was tempting but it is a bit light for leuku and I have asked santa for heftier leuku.

Got me some leuku

But vuolupuukko is short and don't have "veriura".

No.......Veriura is just a fuller in the blade. Its aesthetic and according to Isaakki Jarvenpaa puukko makers only started using it because the Western market was important and Americans "needed" a fuller or they would not buy knives. Some have them some don't.
What makes you think a vuolopuukko is short? Its just a name applied to any knife you can carve wood with......
An old picture of a vintage Jarvenpaa puukko marked Erikoisvuolu. Its a standard size puukko, blade almost 4".....

and catalog pics from 1939

Hi! Don't stitch too close to the edge. A Puukko has no use without a sturdy seath.

Siistit jäljet!

Marttiini called it a lapinleuku, the Sami people called it stuorra niibi.

"Salvaged some trash"

I think the proper term here is kiitos.

Huh?

Huh?

Meaning kiitos Arathol.

Meaning kiitos Arathol.

I was just wondering what you meant about "salvaged some trash."

I was just wondering what you meant about "salvaged some trash."

I bought an undefined set of knives. The "lot" as I described it before. Some are not fantastic, but they are knives I'd keep still.

Since it arrived on the 10th I have been putting the M95 Sissipuukko through a lot of work. At some point I may try to remove the Teflon coating, but no rush.

Today:

It is still unbelievably sharp after batonning kindling for the outdoor fireplace, cutting a lot of baling twine, opening feed bags, butchering a chicken, breaking down several cardboard boxes, and chopping a lot of apples. I have only stropped it a few times. I love this knife!

When you get a new knife, you immediately want to cut everything.
