Making a Traditional Finnish “Puukko“ Knife from a Puronvarsi blade

For this video I wanted to make myself a simple puukko with a traditional “old school“ shape like the ancient Marttiini knife but slightly modernised. I used a Puronvarsi Tommi shape blade 100mm, the bolster is copper and the handle material is curly birch dyed white to give it a more modern and design look. The sheath is relatively traditional looking as well. I wanted to have a knife in the spirit of a puukko, simple, practical and beautiful for the everyday use. Everything I’ve done here is as a hobby and for the sake of learning and sharing the process with others. It is not perfect, there’s no pretention whatsoever and I’m not a knifemaker. I hope you enjoyed the video and if you liked it don’t hesitate to leave a like, to subscribe and to comment. It helps with the algorythm otherwise the video gets burried. I’ll try to answer your comments as best as I can :) Thanks for watching and for your support Timestamps: 00:00 intro
