Spyderco Puukko Fixed Blade Knife Review

[@CedricAda]

I think its pronounced Pew-Ko-Bo-Quo-Pho. My grandpa met a Narwhal once who said it that way.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Narwhals are notoriously excellent at pronunciation. That's what I heard from a halibut.

[@MrAndrewmcgibbon]

when Spyderco first brought this out it had Pekka Touminen's name on it. and you could get a custom made knife from him for the same price. I've seen more than a few reviews of the Helle knives that said the steel was too soft. Kellham knives always get high marks. Bonus fact: Finland's biggest national holiday is Next Month, March 16, Saint Urho (err-who) Saint Urho chased the Grasshoppers out of Finland. And while he did shouted Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen" "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And now I know! Ahh man... I'll beat the price is way up now. They had to jack MSRP up I guess so everyone could get paid!

[@6pakki]

Who told you about the biggest national holiday? I think he was pulling your leg. I have never ever heard of a holiday like that. LOL

[@pershaju]

I'm one of your Finnish subscribers :). A true zero scandi edge really is only for light work. Fine carving, cleaning small to medium game as well as fish, food prep etc. In addition to a "Puukko" a woodsman would carry an axe and/or a "Leuku" for cleaving, chopping etc. One of the characteristics of a puukko is that it is suposed to be very light weight. That Spyderco is a bit of an oddball. Look kinda cool tho.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have a Eswing campers axe and a Kukri, that (outside of these ridiculous videos) I use for heavy duty work. When I camp I usually carry a light folding knife and a campers axe. Most of the backpacking and camping I do doesn't involve using wood to start fires. Most parks don't allow fires near me.

I'm one of the Finnish followers you have, but I don't speak English as well as you do.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Maybe I have more than I thought! Thanks man, hope you weren't too offended!

[@maukka1187]

One more Finn reporting in. Clicked because of the Finnish in the title even though I usually just devour your flashlight stuff :)

[@GoodFella492]

Advanced Knife Bro One more Finnish subscriber reporting! BLF A6 Review was first video made by you that i saw. Your sense of humour made breathe through my nose more stronger than usual. I subscribed immediatly!

[@MrDementori]

Hello from Finland! It's always funny to hear Americans trying to pronounce Finnish words. Finnish pronounciation is actually very easy (for Finns at least). You just learn what kind of sound every letter makes and then say the word exactly as written. For example the letter "u" sounds the same in every word unlike English "stupid" / "but". To my ears, your pronounciation of puukko sounded like you were trying to say English "pooccou". Puukko is often used in Finnish language to refer to practically any knife shaped cutting tool that is not exclusively for food prep or eating. The word "puukko" most likely comes from the word "puu" which means tree, wood and timber.

[@daveburklund2295]

Jeepers. I think you found your fan base. Finland. Who'da thunk it.

[@jisley7371]

Watching someone use a puukko like this, is why knife manufacturers wind up making overbuilt, thick edged, soft steel blades. If you were the manufacturer, would you want to sell a super thin edged rc 60 knife to someone who you knew would use it like this? There is a tool for people who like to baton, a froe, you could probably open mail with it too which is no less silly than batoning with a puukko. I dig your sense of humor, and that is why I will continue watching these vids.

[@ronstoner1823]

I bought a Spyderco tenacious lightweight and I'm pretty happy with it, but not so much so that I feel the need to delve several hundred dollars deeper into the Spyderco world.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

"Christmas butt plug"!! Ha!!! You got that for $55??? Damn man. That's a screamer of a deal. I'll send you $65, to cover shipping...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll be holding onto this one. I'd like to see it sharpen up and how easy it will be on my Sharpmaker. $55 was a great deal... I thought about buying it at $150, and I'm glad I didn't.

[@danokitemanotoo1791]

Just picked one up in a trade & can't wait to use it very soon!

[@MrAndrewmcgibbon]

last time I was this early knives were made of stone

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ha!

[@bennutter8897]

Can't believe you got that for only $55... SO JEALOUS DUDE! Great review on this one too bud

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I was jealous of me too... thanks dude! Hope you're doing well!

[@StevanOutdoor]

A guy I know liked the knife because of the sharpness and it is sharp. Sharpest knife I ever had was an Ahti puukko. Did send it back because the blade was not fit straight in the handle but had an angle and I really hate that. Same with the older Mora's. If the blade fitted straight you were lucky to have one. Nowadays Mora did some improvements. Like that pink Mora. I carry a pink Svord peasant as neck knife and when they ask me why pink there are 2 reasons. You won't see pink in nature so it is easy to find and people won't steal it. Nice vid!!

[@eddieking2976]

The Mora I watch your reviews, the Mora I like them. Keep 'em coming bro.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I might steal that pun for my eventual Mora review!

[@eddieking2976]

Advanced Knife Bro Anything to help out bud;-)

[@randotooming2433]

i´ve read that there´s a big chance to break the tip if you put this knife through harder tasks. some people have experienced that. and yes, real finnish puukkos (like Marttiini Lynx Lumberjack or Marttiini Black Lumberjack Carbon) are much more affordable and meant for rough work. as Moras. great review again, very honest!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wouldn't burrow any holes in hard wood with it. I have continued carving on that pine... and it's fine- even raking out grooves with the tip. I'd like to try a real finnish one in the near future. Thanks man!

[@marshalllaw123]

Pretty sure it's actually pronounced "puck-oh" in honor of Finland's obsession with hockey and the anger of Richie Cunningham. I saw it on the discovery channel.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Seems legit. PUCK-O it is!

[@joshcoy6399]

You need to check out the Enzo Birk... pocket puukko. Pretty sure they are made in the same factory as Spyderco.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Josh Coy that a nice looking folding puukko. Thanks for the heads up

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

You got a hell of a deal on this one. Sorry I missed out, not that it's a knife I would ever really use but it looks cool and it's a Spyderco, so yeah, there is that. Thanks for the review Knife Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have more blades than I'll ever use. Thanks man!

[@alittleolder]

fantastic review as always my friend.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@brandona.6337]

enjoyed the review 👍🏻 I was considering buying this knife but I can't get over the $ even though it's been reduced by $100 ! I'm sure Knife Center is still making at least $75 at the discounted price IMO . if they were to sale it for $100 I'd buy it

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You can also set alerts on "camelcamelcamel" for amazon price drops on specific items. Maybe it'll drop that low there again? Yeah it's good at $50-$70, but I wouldn't pay much more than that.

[@jackfarmboy]

Again sir with the great videos. Thank you.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@bumstudios8817]

You should review the smiths sharpening system, I saw you only have the spyderco sharpening review( which is probably all anyone needs) but I got the smiths system from Lowes for around $30 or less and have got great results from it. I would compare it to a cheap hand held wicked edge but I have never used a 300$ real wicked edge.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think it might be nice for something in a month or two. I bought a Stopman strop a few months ago and use it occasionally. I always have meant to do a review on it at some point... but it took me several years to get around to my Sharpmaker demo.

[@danofiremano]

I was thinking it was a kkk-snowman-butt-plug! Great review, I'll check out some more vid's soon.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Looks like you did!

[@datafoxy]

Thanks to you I look forward to batoning wood daily.

[@johnd48]

As a 1/64th Scandinavian American, my opinions are, of course, law. It is pronounced "puke-oh". I know this as a fact. As my ancestors told me in a vision quest last Thursday

[@RonSpilker]

It's pretty, but ya...you can get the regular Mora Companion for around $15 on Prime Now even. The Spyderco would be a nice 'BBQ Knife'. In places where you can't have a BBQ gun I guess. I wouldn't complainnnn if someone gave me that Spyderco, of course. I did an entire weeks worth of meal prep with the Mora Companion, then used it as my EDC for a couple of weeks and it was still getting fairly smooth cuts through paper.

[@huejanus5505]

I got one of these years ago in ironwood for about $80. It is a good whittling knife but the handle feels awkward at times, and the blade is a little short for my liking. It is however extremely sharp, and mine holds it's edge forever with just stropping. Would i buy it again for $55 or $60 bucks? No thanks. Now you're stuck with one too.😉

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don't hate it... although I'll basically only use it for my crude wood carvings for here on out. I'd buy it again for $55... but only if I didn't have this one. One is all I need!

[@il24ir]

I know you normally do more budget knives, but can you maybe do a knife review on one of the holy trinity knives(crk, strader, hinderer). I can't find a single objective review of them online that isn't like an hour long and incredibly repetitive.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'd like to when my channel gets bigger. Right now I buy all of my nicer knives, with an occasional exception. Not many bigger manufacturers want to provide knives for my small irreverent channel. I'll continue trying to reach out to these guys until I can afford one. So far I've spent up to $180 on a knife- and it's often times hard to justify that because my channel revenue isn't big. Plus I have one or two people who help me out to get some discounts on the nicer knives I buy. These are on my radar, but in the meantime it's stuff I can get for under $200. That's about my knife budget for a month.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Also those long reviews are cral, cause they don't even use the knives!!!

[@MrPeter0201]

Sweet Stefan Schmalhaus evocation at 7:37. Just missing some charcuterie. Maybe make it baloneygna bc Amerika ja? Oder?

[@gaggemums]

I subscribed after just a few seconds! Love your humor, and very informative video. I hope the spelling is correct... to lazy to google translate.. One more swede added to your subscribers list, maybe your first. =)

[@StefanoVanzo]

Thanks for sharing , for that price i'll personally go for some Mora....

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Bette for the budget... and easier on the hand too.

[@beefysuperdude]

Did you set up a certain kind of alert on slickdeals for just knives?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+beefysuperdude I do it with brand names. I have one for spyderco set up. That way you don't get a bunch of garbage sent to you. I have one setup for "flashlight" and get all kinds of crap. Then you can set it for "thumbs up" amount. I set mine to 2 thumbs.

[@beefysuperdude]

Thanks man. If you're looking for fixed knives to review, I think the Fallkniven A1 is sweetness. If you want to review it, let me know, I've got one handy that I'll loan ya!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll keep that in mind... Thanks!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, Infact I just bought mine at $129.00 at BladeHQ (12-2017) and I still think it's pretty good deal, I plan using this knife as a neck knife. It's funny, because it's the second day of Winter, and already I'm think Spring. But I still enjoy going out for a Afternoon Delight and a hot cup of coffee and a good Acid Legend Drew Estate Torpedo Cigar, Yeah, I got a good price on them to satisfy me though the holidays so I bought (2) boxes. Oh, the Spydie was a Christmas Gift for myself. Dilly, Dilly.,,.p

[@dezijohnson17]

that really is a good looking knife. I'm gonna have a look at those pukin style knives now

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Can't go wrong with a puke-o.

[@dudumegafixe]

I felt disapointed when you joked the "butt plug" because I wanted to make fun of it myself here in the comment... Besides that, nice video!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I should have not said anything!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, maybe you know, I tried looking for pictures of the tang on the Spyderco Puukku, no luck, can you help. Thanx You in Advance.,,.p

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You would have to destroy the handle to find out... I would assume it’s a partial tang, but I don’t know for certain. It’s hidden in the handle

[@maramovidiu731]

Those tomatoes loock werry ripe. I licke the puukko, but the pink mora is realy the star of this show.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I will eventually review it in the future. I have a few ideas planned for that one.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Can you review the tops tanimboca puuko?

[@thomaslinton1001]

Ironwood have same narrow bottom to the handle - uncomfortable in hammer grip. Amazing fault given that it was supposedly designed by a master puukko maker.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah, not comfortable at all.

[@jackfarmboy]

can you post a link to where ever you got a deal on this knife?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Amazon. It was December and the deal was only for 5 hours. Set a slick deals alert so you don't miss out on another!

[@13bravoredleg18]

I love my Finnish Ahti Metsa puukko!!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll have to check those out!

[@401als]

very nice knife

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Not too shabby!

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Your advanced Awesome bro!

[@gregtomamichel973]

Not often that I watch a video with the phrase "butt plug".

[@alxra]

where were these $55???

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Amazon for a few hours in December. Gotta set up some slick deal alerts!

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Couldn't afford this so I went with the tops tanimboca puuko

[@13Hangfire]

That's some mighty fine whittling... not gay tho!

[@adrianotero7963]

Prices for the Spyderco Puukko are outrageous, will get a Kellam Wolverine and just oil the blade to keep it from rusting....

[@marshalllaw123]

$55 doe? Dayum son!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks Slickdeals!

[@charlescollier7217]

Comedy gold!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Looks like some people though it was comedy bronze! Thanks dude!

[@deweyfisher5117]

You paid 55 bucks, and now you tell us! ;)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The deal lasted maybe 5 hours? Amazon does this from time to time, to clear out stock (I guess). Some people even posted about it on the Spyderco forums.

[@porkbap55]

3.58 all you single bros

[@TheKimjoh560]

A knife that would go well with some fancy pant, thick black glasses and a nice long ironic beard. No... In the words of my mentor that passed on a few years ago: Mora Classic or gtfo.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hipster Puukko!

[@brokenspear6604]

That looked like a KC brewed beer box to me

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Boulevard! When I went to school there way back when one of my first microbrews was Their unfiltered wheat

[@brokenspear6604]

Advanced Knife Bro good choice man, my first was their bully porter. Awesome videos by the way. It cracks me up that you're not affraid to do what other reviewers won't

[@LarsRibe]

Looks like a copy of the Ahti Juhla. For nice puukkos or leikuus - google Eräpuu knives or Karesuando knives. The real deal!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

For sure!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, I called Spyderco, they told me it's a 2/3rd Hidden Tappered Tang. So, NO it doesn't go all the way through. I've seen on E-Bay some sold it as a Full Tang, their wrong. Dilly Dilly.,,.p

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good to know, thanks!

[@timothygrmn]

Yeah dude, butt plug...nice review though! Keep up the good work!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It looks more like a tree after i worked on it for another hour. Not much like a tree though.

[@zdrahar8977]

Красивый. Но дырка в клинике лишняя.

[@SpikeBachman]

Puukkos are purchased by the same people who purchase new Land Rovers. 100% image, 0% sense.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You know of any good deals on range rovers?

[@SpikeBachman]

Touché! I understand the point. But to answer your question, I'll suggest that like this knife, the best deal on a Range Rover is 1 year after it leaves the lot! P.S. I hope nobody takes my comments seriously. I'm just goofing around.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You're good man! If you can't tell, I don't take myself too seriously in the reviews either. This is a good knife for around $50... but not at $150 or $200 or $400. And some might even argue that the Mora is the better value... even if it were more expensive.

[@ajohnston3457]

Perhaps but they're also used by people who understand how to use a knife in an outdoor living situation. Not this one though lol.

[@augustus63]

that hole is so stupid. nice video as always bro

[@PrioritySurvival]

[@thomaslinton1001]

A MORA is not a "puukko." Bevel is too short.

Would you sell me your pukko?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Uhh, not right now?

[@andrewthompson2536]

Advanced Knife Bro dang

[@Airik1111bibles]

$55 😮😣😫😣 I hate you! .....wait that was a bit harsh sorry...I dont hate you, but watching use that knife was very VERY difficult this time. Usually I laugh and crack up at your dry humor, not today this was hard very hard to watch😂

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh yeah?

[@murrayannandale]

You Americans obsession with cutting up cardboard has now gotten to the next level. Even during a storm and the power is out, you will use a torch to continue your quest against against the brown adversaries. #CardboardDreams #CutItAll #SheSaidSheWasLvl18

You're pronouncing it wrong, it's "pyoo- ko." ;)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

DAMMIT! For my next review...

[@bumstudios8817]

who tf says panty instead of Panasonic? ROFL.... love the video though and the knife!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Panny... or panty if you want. I think you heard what you wanted to hear! If you spend some time on home theater forums, they all say that shit over there.

[@Lars1540]

Love your reviews, but I can't stand Spyderco! They're knives are VERY over-priced, and their customer service is TERRIBLE! I'll never buy another Spyderco.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This one is a very so-so knife. I like them, but this ain't the one I like!

[@fabianflores2339]

Save your money buy a box cutter.

[@6pakki]

Puukko's are from Finland. Mora is from Sweden. Mora is not a Puukko. "All puukko's are knives but not all knives are puukko's". Finland is not part of Scandianavia. It is part of nordic countries and geologial definision is Fennoscandia. The grind in Finnish Puukko's have a differend angle than Swedish "kniv", knife. There are dosens of Puukko models, each region in Finland has it's own typical model. Battoning is not recomended for puukko. Buy a axe instead.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sounds like you should start a KZbin channel telling everyone how wrong they are about this.

[@6pakki]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro these are just basics.no need to get your knickers crossed.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It’s like when saying a Viking sword made today can’t be Called a Viking sword because it wasn’t made by a Viking or it changes this design cue. Over time styles of knives and the definitions broaden and you can change things. I’m not getting my knickers in a twist. I understand your comment and you have a certain point. But I don’t agree with your narrow definition. You obviously got your knickers in a twist enough- that you decided to tell me I was wrong. Enough people identify a mora with being close enough to a puukko that it fits the bill a lot of places as a “puukko” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko Fighting your battle with a narrow definition of a knife on a small KZbin channel isn’t changing any minds.

[@6pakki]

@@AdvancedKnifeBro i see lots of makers from all around the world that make lovely puukko's. but mora is not a puukko. it doesn't matter how many identify it as one. there are many us Finns who also think that mora is a puukko but they are also wrong, dead give away is the grind. the hight of the grind in swedish and norwegian kniv is max. 1/3 and finnish puukko 2/3 or even more. there is a microbevel when puukko is sharpend, when it gets too "wide" it is ground off flat with grindstone. kniv is ground always flat with bevel. i'm not fighting, i'm informing. sorry if i hurt your feelings.

You didn’t hurt my feelings. We don’t agree with one another. That’s all. The Jedi mind trick of saying I’m the upset one doesn’t work.
