Hello everyone, here is a model I do batches of occasionally that is designed for the outdoors user. I call it my Survival Puukko, cause what else are you gonna call a puukko with a hollow handle made for survivalin'?
These are based on a Polar factory made blade blank with a 3.75" long blade. I machine the handles and buttcaps in my shop myself, and perform all of the required wizardry to attach them securely to the handles.
To keep the cost right on these, I make kydex sheaths for them, which also keeps maintenance down.
Two of these have OD GunKote on the handles/buttcaps, and one is satin aluminum. Doing another batch with Flat Dark Earth GunKote, and some different cord wraps.
The safety orange wrap was really difficult to capture, but it is a true safety orange in person.
Thanks for looking!
