Which maker for a classic Puukko in Magnacut

[Viking_Brln]

Hello everybody,

I am new to this forum but already have read a lot here, especially about Puukos and appreciate the aggregated knowledge here!

I am looking for some advice on which custom maker to choose for a classic birch bark rhombic handle Puukko, but in Magnacut, which narrows down the circle of makers probably.

Malanika makes them and I think he does fantastic work, but I think I would rather prefer a finnish maker. Could you recommend one that might use Magnacut?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards
Christoph Eberlein

Thanks for the link! I have seen that one, but was wondering whether you guys could point out some makers that you know of using PM steel.

malanika.​

His work is top notch and he sometimes offers Magnacut

JELIO - the only one I can think of other than Malanika. Not Finnish but otherwise most excellent with his puuuko builds.

Not Magnacut - but he does offer it.

While it might be somewhat subjective, Malanika makes the best I’ve seen personally… in my opinion

He definitely has among the best fit and finish out there, his grinds are pristine. Jelio also has a great fit and finish but I prefer Danijel's handles.
