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
