Traditional Finnish knife making

I've seen this one before, great video, ever see the one where they make a traditional Swedish Barrel Knife?
 
The techniques and tools in this just make me smile. I love to see old craftsmanship like that in action.
 
That is a great video. The knifemaker in this video is Kustaa Lammi, his forged blades are almost ledgendary. Very hard to find nowadays but Lamnia has some in stock.
Dont quote me on that, but JFK had a red Puukko that was made by him on his desk for letter opening.
 
Google "JFK Puukko" and a photo will come up of a Iisaki Jarvenpaa, horse head puukko, with a white handle sitting on the desk with JFK there too. John
