Making of Traditional Puukko Knife
A friend of mine called me and told me that he was moving to Lapland later this summer. He asked if I could make a knife for him so I did. I wanted it to be cool and useful knife and decided to do a puukko (actually it is basically the one and only option in Finland) and nice leather sheath to go with it.
The steel I used for this knife was high carbon steel made for knife making. The wood in the handle was birch that I found from our firewood pile. I also used brass and leather in the handle.
Hope you enjoyed!
If you have any questions, ideas or advice feel free to leave a comment!
I love the use of minimalist tools the classic finish style pukko with barrel shaped handle is definitely my favourite
I love that you used a bevel jig with an *angle grinder*. Never seen that before and it's inspired. Lovely knife too, but that trick is fantastic.
Thank you! Those threads happened to fit perfectly to the hole for the handle. Saves a lot of time when you can do the rough work with the grinder and finish off by hand.
@@onnissinen I just wanted to say that being able to attach the angle grinder is brilliant. You should make a quick video on it. Thanks.
Handle turned out very nice!
Absolutely brilliant looking knife and so skilfully made using inexpensive tools available to most people. 👏
man, your improvised tools are awsome! You prove that if you are talented craftman, belt grinder is unnecessary
A really nice build using tools and materials most of us have hanging around.
I just really liked the angle grinder bevel jig. I never thought about doing that. really nice idea thank you.
Beautiful knife, excellent fit and finish 👌
That file guide is brilliant
Really like the use of wooden jigs and the angle grinder.
Well done on the finish, really liked the end result.
beautiful knife!!!
Молодец .
That bevel jig tho😂 when I first saw it. Good stuff. This is like my 3rd time watching this vid. 👍👌
That's a beautiful knife.
Great job man! Subscribed :)
Beautiful
Good One….😊😊😊
Vimosen päälle video ja niin on puukkoki 👌
mahtavaa.... more videos plz........and yes plz show the bench
It seems the only thing you can’t do with an angle grinder is bake a cake. (and I’m not so sure about that.) Nice puuko. You nailed the tempering color.
Damn I wish I was your friend 😩
Изумительно, замечательно
Kyllä on komia!
EXCELLENT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!
Ihan vinkkinä, takomalla terän muodon ja varsinkin kärjen, saat tehtyä kiderakenteeseen paremman sitkeyden (eli kestää paremmin käytössä). Päästön jälkeen älä hio tai työstä millään laitteella mistä lähtee kipinää, koska vaikka kappale tuntuu viileältä niin kipinä syntyy 1000 asteesta ja se helposti ylipäästää teränsuun, tämän takia paras keino on vesitahko tai kostutettu nauhahiomakoneen nauha. Ja heloista; kun piirrotat ruodon mentävän aukon, niin poraa vähän isommalla 2/3 materiaalista ja loppu pienemmällä terällä, tällöin viilaamista tulee monta kertaa vähemmän ja saat helan helpommin istuvaksi. Äläkä ihmeessä enää vahingossakaan karkaise terää päästön jälkeen, koska tämä kaikki vaikuttaa kiderakenteeseen joka on kaiken a ja o.
How far back does "traditional" go? Does it include the Wirkala, with the (approximately) rhomboid cross-section handle? A cylindrical, barrel, shaped handle would not be as easy to control turning in the hand, I imagine. Beautiful knife,though. Thanks for video.
Upee👍🏼👌
SHOW US THE WORK BENCH!!! PLEASE! THANKS!
You really wanna see that work bench huh?😅
How dod you connect the holes after drilling?
Gosh i love your no bullshit yet refined approach , do you think tmpering with a blow torch is good enough if you watch the color ? I saw that technniques for smaller tool but not for a full and beautiful knife like that. Anyway subscribed , looking foward to see more
Also, is the stain liquid you used is only for wood or leather ? I have a shit ton of leather dye and my feeling is that it’s good enough to transform clear / boring wood quickly with a nice danish/ linen oil on top to protect it . What’s your opinion ?
Thank you! Actually I think that tempering in oven would definetely be a better way. You can do it with a torch but you cannot hold the temperature. Actually I ended up tempering the blade even further but keeping the edge in water so I can soften the spine.
The stain I used is for wood and leather both. And I even use it with airbrush sometimes. I suggest you give it a try!
Молодец
Lapland! I would have used 4 mm at least… for batoning which will be the way he’ll split up there
Задний упор надо было сделать как у пууко - клешем...
6:15 kieltämättä mielenkiintoinen tekniikka :D mutta näyttää toimivan
Köyhän pitää soveltaa😅 Kyllähän se nauhahiomakone pitäis hankkia, mutta taitaa joutua vielä tovin odottamaan.
Puuko also don’t have plunges… you want the edge disappearing in to the handle
This is far from the most perfect knife. Bare minimum of what it needs to be is all it is
Aivan huikea
mihin öljyyn karkaset?
I responded to a comment and didn't see that the handle is not actually cylindrical. Sorry.
No. The shoulders should not be perfectly flat… they should slowly open in a gentle curve…. Major weakness by squaring them like that..
The best gift for your boyfriend would be the truth about puko. In other words, the handle is devoid of any anatomy and security, the Nordic sharpening is the second worst after the hollow and the most basic their steel belongs to the age of the dinosaurs. Surely your work is perfect with a beautiful result, but a utility knife is not enough for beauty.
Thats not very nice, besides the obsession with super steel and man made handle material in a full tang without the ergonomics of a puukko is useless in my opinion. the scandi grind works in this part of the world, because it is the perfect thing for wood work. not everyone needs 5mm thick blade full tang self defense survival knife, it has its place but not for everything.
Voisitko kertoa terän ja kahvan mitat
En kyllä millään muista ja puukko on jo kaverilla. Jokainen puukko kannattaa tehdä käyttäjänsä mukaan. Yleensä mittaan kahvan yksinkertaisesti oman kämmenen leveyden mukaan ja lisään siihen sentin tai useamman riippuen kahvan muodosta. Myös paksuus vaihtelee käyttäjän kouran mukaan. Terästä sen verran, että noin pitkää terää ei käytännössä tarvitse puukkoon, se vaan omaan silmään näyttää paremmalle ja pienien puiden pilkkominen käy näppärämmin.
It is better not to give text information. This diverts attention.
too much handle
