Knife Making // Forging A Birch Bark Puukko

Birch bark, one of the best knife handle materials, always feels soft, warm, is never slippery and looks beautiful.

I love my 80CrV2 blade. It’s a hunting knife made by another bladesmith, real thin. Holds a great edge, has been a constant companion for years

[@goofistmcnutty3280]

I see so many knives lately calling themselves Puukko or "Puukko Style" knives, but aren't. They've got finger coils, or small guards, maybe a large pommel, or the sharp of the blade starts 2 thirds up the blade. This right here, is a proper Puukko. One of my favorite style of knives and so many people tarnish it's name by saying their modern styled knives or whatever are Puukkos. Beautiful knife man.

[@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617]

people do the same thing with Bowie knives. a Bowie was/is no more than a modified butcher knife. now any shape or size knife with a guard is called a Bowie.

[@goofistmcnutty3280]

@@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617 Yup Bowies have been getting the same treatment too. I've seen what was pretty much a literal cleaver with a slight tip to it being sold as a Bowie a while ago and it irked me a bit.

[@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617]

@@goofistmcnutty3280 i guess it doesnt hurt anything. the thing is when mentioning a certain name, in your mind you get a picture of what that style of knife should look like. i like the puukko style knives myself. in fact i just made my first attemp at one using a mora blade i modified.

[@edanpino-xt1ph]

There are certain types of puukko with the large pommels, but they’re from different regions. Lapland puukko have different handles compared to Saami, and Saami have a different handle compared to Suomi. I do agree with you on certain makers doing puukko knives very, very wrong though.

[@stanleycarlock5624]

A knife is never complete until it has a sheath. A beautiful knife must have a beautiful sheath and you created both. Very well done sir.

[@michaelklypa]

Perfect and stylish work, classical form and well detailed puukko for “real world”. Unlike many stylized knives, this one is a real "Finnish multitool" for a variety work. A warm and spectacular knife in the authentic northern style, as everyone knows and loves it. Thank you for visual pleasure).

[@MLCustomKnives]

Exactly what I'm aiming for, thank you for the kind words!

[@MichelangeloCremona]

Bravissimo...Molto bello,bel lavoro.

[@Shooter11B]

WOW. Now that is a propper Puukko.

[@brightargyle8950]

I love making the sheaths for these knives, it's so satisfying to start with all the raw ingredients and end up with a work of art like this. Excellent looking knife, very clean and classic looking.

[@PerukanTimpuri]

Hienoa työtä, hyvät mittasuhteet. Upea puukko👍🏻

[@СерегаКалинин-р4з]

Прекрасная работа и прекрасный нож. Приятно смотреть как кусок металла в руках мастера превращается в произведение искусства! Браво!

Beautiful puukko! Absolutely wonderful. 👍🏻

[@edwinmason123]

Astounding skills, beautiful knife.

[@bigernbladesmith]

I love watching you make puukko. Your vids inspired me to make one for myself.

[@MLCustomKnives]

Thanks, thats awesome!😊

[@Schiacciasassi87]

magnifico lavoro, ho un coltello simile da risistemare, mi sa che prenderò spunto dal tuo video, bravo.

[@malcburry]

Your knives are great, received 3 of them via Lamnia, one of them a Damascus Puukko just WOW, there is a lot of passion and heart in it.

[@28gaball]

Beautiful! Great craftsmanship, thanks for sharing

[@bahur47]

very nice , birch bark is my favourite handle material. And very good bolster fit. I wish you showed the holes in the bolster before you started hammering it on the tang.

[@MLCustomKnives]

Thanks! I tried to keep the video quite short so I didn't film every detail. But I make a hole just big enough so the bolster fits on the end of the tang and then start hammering

[@ironhammer3734]

Beautiful knife, great job!

[@vonHannersdorf]

This knife is beautiful piece of art.

[@philochristos]

Beautiful! I hope to do that some day.

[@andyhooutdoors]

Beautiful! I just received mine today from Lamnia with the ironwood handle and it’s beautiful. Already I am looking forward to getting one in stacked birch bark.

[@MLCustomKnives]

Very good to know you like your knife, thanks for the purchase! If you'd like to custom order a puukko with birch bark feel free to email me at [e-mail] Or keep an eye on lamnia webstore, there should be more knives coming there as well.

[@jonaswagner4257]

Very beautiful work

[@hosseinreihani139]

watching this type of handle being made I didn't age... wow... each birch bark handle is like a unique piece of art! I would love to buy one of these from you if you ship to Canada

[@Pew7070]

The process is perfect and masterfully executed! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

I made a Leuku blade using stacked birch bark.Came out nice.But I didn't make the blade I bought it(Lauri type Leuku).

[@craigcook1571]

Awesome

[@lindboknifeandtool]

People are going gaga for 80crv2 is it just a wear resistant 1084?

[@mattiasandersson2315]

Beautiful 😍. How difficult is it to learn how to forge a knife? I'm a welder so not foreign to metal work.

[@MLCustomKnives]

Thanks! It not too difficult once you get started. The first few blades may be a struggle but its pretty quick to get the hang of it. A good pair of knife tongs makes the job hell of a lot easier!

[@polisheverything1970]

Lovely work but I personally would have ground a sharpening choil just so the blade stayed level throughout it's sharpening life. Either way though very nice.
