Custom Handle for Fällkniven NL1 by thetopicala

Read all this :
Hope you enjoy this woodwork. Fällkniven always arouses emotions. I am happy with the final result and so is the owner of the knife. So, if you disaggree please put it in comments and give your argument there. Nothing but thumb down means nothing and we don't learn anything. Positively saying I did enjoy this work a lot!

Any ideas how to share videos in the future?

Sorry to hear KZbin doesn't like your videos. I think they are great! A lot of good quality information and beautiful knives.

Horia Atanasiu Thanks Horia! 👍🏻💪🏻🇫🇮

[@heinrichdorfmann9241]

Stunning, fantastic and beautiful work, Osmo! That wood grain! Unbelievable that YT does not want a channel with such recreational content anymore... makes no sense. Keep up posting!

[@thetopicala]

Heinrich Dorfmann Thank you! In my case all the profit from these videos goes to music makers. And I dont mind that at all. 👍🏻

Stunning knife, beautiful work!

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

My lord what a beautiful piece of Cocobolo, Osmo! You continue to amaze me with the way you take a bunch of raw materials and turn them into a beautiful item by simply allowing your eyes to guide your hands as they work. That is a special talent so few have, Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the beauty of your work. (Sad to hear the YT censors have taken an interest in your art.)

[@TheLordArion]

Absolutely gorgeous piece of wood!

[@RandomButtonPusher]

That is incredibly beautiful grain in that wood and the brass spacer you set in just underscores it. Wonderful work, Osmo. You really brought that knife to life.

[@thetopicala]

Random Button Pusher Many thanks Jeff! This knife was a nice challenge. Very expensive original knife hopefully got some more value and service years!

[@thetopicala]

Allan Wagner Thanks Allan! We had some good conversation (messenger) with frenchman, owner of the knife and after several drawings found this. Making a template easies the work a lot. Osmo

Stunning!!! I need to go beat up the handle of my NL4 so I have an excuse to send it to you.

indoor ranger Thank you from Finland too Michael😀👍🏻🇫🇮

[@collector7993]

Looks pretty but if you are seriously going to use it then prepare to lose a finger or two. Simple rule of knives my friend is, a big knife needs a big guard and never put fingers in front of guards for a "choked up" grip, use a small knife for choking encounters if you feel that way inclined or man up and get strong hands and wrists that can actually hold a knife.

[@thetopicala]

I honour your opinion but please let us know what you are doing with your blade to cut your fingers? In Finnish puukko heritage there are big and small (puukko) knives and no harm about finger guardless blades. I guess fish fillet might need a finger guard, maybe a small one.

[@lonewolf597]

Another great handle on a classic monster blade! Well done! Also, to Hell with youtube! You can find another place to post your creations and videos! Just research online.

[@sarmat78]

Красота

[@thetopicala]

sarmat78 yes, beautiful 👍🏻

[@martymalone4561]

Osmo, first, I like your simple and direct video style. It is very instructive and I personally have learned a great deal from your videos. Second, your recent video by "Backyard Productions" that opened with a dandelion seedhead blowing in the wind and contained the antique maps of Finland very well done and really entertaining. Third, what kind of wood was it that you used to replace the handle on this knife?

[@thetopicala]

Marty Malone Thank you Marty! I have been happy to read your numerous comments here and glad to hear that those videos have been usefull for so many people. That’s cocobolo wood. Osmo

[@13bravoredleg18]

I wish you could build a handle for a Hultafors OK4. I use one everyday and it is a very handy little knife!

[@thetopicala]

13BRAVO REDLEG Whenever someone brings that to my workshop we can discuss about it 😀👍🏻

[@zenaldiak]

I'm very sad to hear about this yt issue. Otherwise, i like the video, that wood is outstanding, give a lot of elegancy. Maybe a more prominent guard, just in the low side, give more stability. Anyway, its look very nice. Congrat, Gyula from Transylvania.

[@thetopicala]

zenaldiak Thanks Gyula! Well there will be other platforms left 👍🏻

[@jjskn93]

Is that rose/king wood? Once again you've done a beautiful job osmo. Sorry to hear u tube is being awkward. I don't c how your video s could be a problem.

[@thetopicala]

jjskn93 Thanks, that was very old cocobolo wood piece 😀

[@wesb8159]

Incredible that YT has issues with you. It make me mad. But.. As always a master class. Beautiful work. If I may ask what sort of finish you applied on the cocobolo wood? Oil( tung, linseed, or..?) Or is it something else? Best of luck

[@thetopicala]

Wes B Thanks Wes! It was oiled and polished. Tru Oil. Osmo

Why Yt want to close your channel? Any reasons? Nice handle like every time. I missed it: what kind of wood is it? Greetings Tino

[@thetopicala]

einufo ofunie Thanks Tino! it was a very old block of cocobolo.

[@wayned5872]

Very cool build , the wood cocobolo?

[@thetopicala]

[@user-kt9yg4jv8o]

Good day. Amazing work. Please write which tree is used on the handle? Sincerely, Igor Voronezh Russia

[@thetopicala]

Днс Днс it’s cocobola wood.

[@getsmart3701]

That was a beautiful end product (500% better than the original), a truly stunning knife for the connaisseur. Fuck YT...they don't know dick.

[@MrZleesbec]

Nice. But why take away the mechanical Bond of the Tang nut?

[@thetopicala]

MrZleesbec well, why not if it doesn’t fit to the plan. You can rebuild and shape that handle hundreds of ways and this was just one of them. 👍🏻Thanks, Osmo

[@hypehype1982]

and this is the reason why I didn't by this northern lights model the fear of the handle becoming loose its ok if you just have it as something to look at but if you want to take it out and use it outdoors your better off buying a proper full tang knife.

[@thetopicala]

hypehype1982 Being a fulltang does not make it better knife. There are lots of quality other than fulltangs also available.

[@hypehype1982]

@@thetopicala I don't doubt it, I actually really like the northern light series but the way I use my knifes and I'm not the baby my gear kind of guy so a full tang knife is better option for me.

[@thetopicala]

hypehype1982 Yep! The best thing is that the world is full of good knives and everyone can choose suitable blade for his interests and purposes 👍🏻

[@norbertzapf7546]

Don`t get me wrong Osmo....i love the Knives and Handles you`ve made but with this project you have destroyed the Identity of this beautiful Bowie-Knive. Why don`t you do a new Handle made out of Leatherpieces and the correct Handguard...I can`t understand....sorry

[@thetopicala]

Norbert Zapf No worries Norbert. I am sure that I had made the same kind of changes if it had been mine yet this time the owner defined the final result (with me) on paper and drawings. Luckily we can choose our tools everyone what we want. Wish you great Autumn buddy! Osmo
