@Oozy9Millimeetah That's a part of why these days I'm happy to continue your finnish tradition here in the states. I'm not a Fin myself, but we do have a lot in common. Mostly, I find that the design of the knife and it being worn on the belt as opposed to a folding knife in the pocket are much more suitable for my purposes. I bought my son his first one(the exact same j marttiini as my first) 2 years ago. He's in love with it as well. I like a tradition that is based in practically 👍

[@veikkakarvonen831]

As many comments are saying, this is more of a Yakut style knife than a Finnish style knife. But the word "puukko" is not actually specific to the finnish style. Internationally the Finnish word for knife has become synonymous with the traditional Finnish knives, when in reality a puukko can be many more things. That could be called a puukko, but any fixed-blade knife is often called a puukko as well. You often hear even kitchen knives getting called puukkos.

[@user-ec3fm9zs8o]

I want one! Respect to Finland.

[@jacrispyjones5845]

if it can skin an animal it can skin a person

[@Marcus_Shaw]

The geometry of the Puukko is a tool more like using a wood chisel but sideways 👍 It can be used with a chopping or draw stroke for splitting wood or making shavings for fire starting etc but is not safe for the user in a pushing stroke. Smooth handle, blade geometry and lack of guard means they are not good for stabbing and would have a tendency to slide back through the hand and slice the User's fingers. In a knife fight it would be at a disadvantage to a proper fighting knife such as a Karambit.

Hes holding russian yakut style blade though i think. It has large groove on one side of the blade so i think its actually yakut knife. He likely makes the knives by buying blades, and just making handles for them, but he has bought yakut one. Its excellent knife design though although bit unique cos of the groove, and opposing side is actually convex since the groove is hammered on only to one side creating convex radius on the other side

Puukko Is as Finnish and have been part of our culture for a long time. As a child I often got myself a New "Lapin Leuku Puukko" From My relatives as a gift. We kids always compared our new Puukkon afterwards. Back in the 80:s and early 90:s many carried their Puukkon everywhere... I remember that most old men, that was veterans had their Puukkon everywhere.. Even in the Pubs and city centers. Now days it's not as normal anymore

That looks more like a Siberian Yakut knife than a Puukko.The handle is also more like a Yakut design than a Puukko design, and even the sheath is!🤔 The knife that the other guy was using is a Puukko with a Scandi grind, but the first knife had a hammered pattern fuller down the centre on one side, you couldn’t really see the other side properly, but to me, it looked like plain smooth steel, like a Yakut. Which, by the way, is a fantastic knife, I have finally managed to source a decent one myself after wanting one for years, just waiting on the post!😁

[@lalli8152]

Well the smaller leukus are quite commonly called just puukko. Especially when they are smaller than typical leuku it gets bit muddy anyways, and many puukkos even historically can be quite large. Sami from the leuku is from just calls it something like stuorra niibas it just means large knife, and the more typical puukko size ones unna niibas wich means just small knife if they need to specify wich one they talking about since in their language knife is just niibas if i remember spelling correctly. It looks like the Laurin metalli blade like most finnish knives, but the yakut blade is indeed strange to call finnish one even though atleast in spoken language in finland even that most people would call just puukko then you could also specify calling it yakutpuukko or something, but obviously not finnish one.

that is not a finnish puukko that is a knife called yakut from a region in siberia called yakutia. the origin is a little unclear but asian/siberian people invented it possibly from a split bone that created that distingtive groove on the side, causing this blade to be single beveled.

[@clintwestwood3539]

@@Kukkakukko Puukko is a small traditional Finnish general purpose belt knife with a single curved cutting edge, solid hidden tang and, usually, a flat spine. The Yakutian knife, sometimes called the Yakut knife, is a traditional knife of Yakuts (an ethnic group from the Sakha Republic (or Yakutia), region of Siberia), used for working with wood, hides, skins, fish and meat or for combat. The knife has been used in Yakutia for thousands of years without significant changes in its design. Both are knives, but they are from different cultures. Finns and Russians are not interchangeable. Especially considering that am unusual feature of Yakutian knife is that the blade is asymmetrical; one side of the blade has a fuller, that is a groove in it and a chisel grind, while the other side has no groove and is basically a convex edge (meaning it rounds down to the edge, rather than having a straight bevel). Puukkos are not like that.
