Making a Puukko

[@vladimirvukadinovic5974]

I saw many knife making BUT, your is so simple and with love. On the end, results is amazing. All the best...

[@kellyeaton496]

Loved the video. As some one who makes a few knives himself, I always enjoy watching when other people share their know how and ideas. Glad I found this.

[@tokolosh6467]

Those drawers of wood, my heart skipped a few beats

[@benny1235]

You and nick wheeler, best bladesmiths on KZbin. Thanks for the video!

[@brysonalden5414]

Thank you for sharing your process with us, and especially for showing us which grits you were using. Beautiful knife, grossly underpriced!

[@giobbygio5610]

The most beautiful video is best explained that I've ever seen in my life, well explained so one who gets an idea of ​​how a knife handle is made which I still haven't managed to do well.

[@rigohook1160]

It is always a joy to watch someone who knows what he'd doing at work. To me personally, sharpening the edge would be the ast step, i don't like handling a razor sharp edge when grinding the grip. But one can easy see, you are much more skillful than me with handling your tools.

[@gilla9332]

Увидев эти гриндеры, я был шокирован! Ещё меня шокировало количество брусков для рукоятей! Нож получился шикарный!

[@ifishmyselfyanao]

*Приятно смотреть когда человек так работает руками , молодец!*

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

Nothing carves like a Puukko, and that is a sweet one! Great skills and eye you have. A pleasure to watch.

[@EzechielTheProphet]

Nice one. I was given a hand forged puukko as a gift - it's my favourite blade so far but yours has nicer handle for sure.

[@Fire_And_Iron]

Still one of my favorite Knifemakers. If you ever make it back to Arkansas let me know and we can sit around the fire 🔥 while having some homemade elixir of the Gods...

[@paulgalan1884]

Отличная работа!!! Красиво и гармонично сочетаются цвета и фактура материалов!

[@АндрейНаливайко-в3д]

А главное, молча. Без лишних слов! Молодец.

[@treygrubbs2550]

That handle is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

[@здравый_смысл]

Очень наглядно. Красавец ножиг получился 👍👍👍

[@HonestDoubter]

Your ability to freehand the handle was very impressive.

[@sibco96]

This band is awesome. I hope they play that song again.

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

🤣

[@antaress8128]

Amazing. You make it look easy but I know it is very hard because it needs skills and experience.

[@randygwheeler]

takes me 3 days at about 5 hours each to file, sand, and sharpen a knife. Your work is amazing. I have a 1 inch by 30 inch belt sander. Maybe i should upgrade to something like you have in this video. Then again, i don't make a whole lot of knives. I do all my work from my wheelchair. I need to meet and watch someone like you in person. Great work bro.

[@АлексейОкулов-п1з]

Запасливый мужчина. На любой вкус и цвет.

[@steveclamp4488]

Really sweet knife. Love it.

[@TheSpaniel1]

A stunning knife from a craftsman, I would cherish such a knife and it is worthy of being an heirloom. 👍

[@AntsunEravideot]

That is perfect and most beautiful puukko, what you can make! I know, bacause I use puukko everyday there in Lapland. Great job!

[@Fire_And_Iron]

I have ancestors from Sapmi.

[@bragg77]

I wish you would have went through the steps and talk to us while you did what you did is there a video I can watch with you explaining things better because that's a cool knife

[@bragg77]

You built that nice you could probably make five or six of them a day that's killer Bubba I mean that's straight to the point the video and all that's a killer knife dude really good at that I can tell

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

Your not wrong. I'll get my videos better in the future

[@maksimsavrilov6215]

That looks so easy and fast, I definitely will make couple of my own ones tomorrow morning, thank you!

[@joekeefer4136]

Love that style of knife enjoyed watching the build great job

[@chriskellas2902]

Beautiful choice of woods, looks amazing!

[@GREMLINS516]

Nice job bravo! Just one criticism. .. music

[@mpbp7577]

???? U r against RN'R

[@udod6372]

………Oh Man- in the First Moment I found the Musik so terrible -. I am 78 year old . When the wonderful Video was finished my 82 years old brother and me danced through his blacksmith Workshop and klicked with two Hammers on the AMBOSS hey man, now. We are young again Bravo- Go on Go on ……- My brother is dancing on the table.

[@ERLong-ww7yn]

Agreed

[@Woodstock271]

It’s like a copy of every AC/DC song combined into one, without the lyrics on an endless loop. Great guitar rock but I would have preferred the sound of the machines and some narration. Beautiful knife though.

[@MrFdlemos]

The final result is really gorgeous. That's a masterpiece! Keep up the fine work! 👍🏻

[@rodneycruz2575]

Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for posting.

[@leroyholmes5806]

great build, you should look into scalloped belts ...they work great at flowing around the curves in handles

[@ed.sol.crafts]

Fantastic Video Stuart! Super Helpful and informative even though you didn't say a word! Thank you!

[@RedBeardOps]

That grinder is a beast!

[@richardfurlong4822]

a great job , I loved the way turned the wood the results is totally different, I've been septic in the beginning and you've surprised me, you have my all consideration

[@nikfeo]

Отличная работа!

[@johndoyle-sims8583]

I'm jelous of your collection of materials, also amazing control when you where grinding, that takes some time to get such good control, well done

[@UELG]

beautiful work man!

[@WeaponsMachinist]

I liked the viewing the steps that it took to build your product. They probably don't make a 1200 grit belt but it Look's Awesome! thx

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

Yeah it's not. It's an old 600 that is smooth like paper feels like a 1200.

[@Aleeknives]

Real beauty! I am launching a puukko knife build video series and was researching other vids out there and came across this one! Great work man!

[@Aleeknives]

I love reading every ones comments! I guess every one is a knife maker and knows best when it comes to youtube

[@ТимурМудрейший]

Абсолютно равнодушен к финским ножам, но этот приворожил. Успехов тебе, парень!

[@OUTDOORSSWEDEN]

lOVING IT! perfectly forged blade and a beautiful handle! Awsome.

[@sashakuznechik8299]

Very beautiful knife! Perfect work.

[@ershvv7567]

0:18 отличная кучка клинков!!! позавидывать можно!!!)))

[@ericmanuel6518]

Very nice job, Stu!

[@synheraklesa1615]

wonderful knife, this is the "finka" of my dreams

[@boriszegarra7382]

Excelent job,,,,,,,,,, your finnes pukko knife is a real fine art,,,,,, congratulations sir,,,,,,,,, greating from Perú 🇵🇪👍,,,,,,

[@fliperskater]

That was amazing to watch!

[@richardhutchings921]

Beautiful knife.

[@ZygmuntKiliszewski]

Precise workmanship. Congratulation :)

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Now that is very cool! The perfect use of a tool box imo.. storing some beautiful wood! B

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

haha yeah, knife makers have different priorities. I got hooked on your channel last night.

[@joepublic573]

fabulous looking puukko. love everything about it. great job!

[@mikerowe1496]

Bravo, what a beautiful knife!

[@IamFormaggio]

Very nice. I've made these with blades I buy online from Finland. I use a coin instead of the brass. Centeting the slot is difficult. I dont have a knife belt sander. Use a regular sander with trigger locked and lots of time.

[@ratflail215]

Hell yeah. If you don't have a nice puukko you aren't a man. If you get a puukko as a gift then you know that person really appreciates you.

[@FireCreekForge]

Great looking knife!

[@christopherbishop4927]

Very classy and beautiful

[@CaptainTwitchy]

Nice work! You really make it look easy, too.

[@GrimReeper721]

Beautiful handle 👍🏼

[@rossmoffett1342]

Great video, hope to see more!

[@olegpysin3720]

Молодца! Залитые руки! Уважение тебе! Хотелось бы такой нож тоже иметь для охоты!

[@arkas6797]

Very nice work in all stages, very nice knife. My impression is that G 10 does not respond to adhesives well enough for the pressure needs of a knife.

[@ataarjomand]

Absolutely beautiful job.

[@johnporter5453]

A great knife and video. A true craftsman.

[@bobwilliams5506]

Beautiful handle. Well done.

[@Robin6512]

absolute beautiful grip!!!

[@jyrkiiinatti1660]

Perkele! Hieno puukko. Greetings from Finland. Suomi Perkele.

[@topiktopik3012]

Hiukan liikaa kahvassa taivutusta suomalaiseksi puukoksi, suomalainen puukko suora kahvaisempi

[@pascalwolf4949]

Beautiful piece!

[@wingnutbert9685]

Sweet Jeebus!!! That handle wood! Like liquid buttery caramel goodness! Don't even want to know the $ tied up in those drawers full of scales. Thanks for the vid!

[@ironhat2]

Beautiful piece, amazing talent.

[@knifeandsheath1049]

You make it look easy. beautiful knife

[@geoffthomas2221]

Amazing , just wish I could afford one for my grand son

[@Airik1111bibles]

Convex man belly works great for grinding a good edge 😁 I speak from experience . Dude you have a serious stock of premium wood .... I just look for odd woods locally or in my back yard LOL. I love wild plum tree wood but its the most difficult stuff to get a good square from. I love the purple and yellow blend makes such a pretty handle but man its a lot of work . I live in a 4plex so I have my Buck Tools 4×36 sander and other small tools to work with .....Your shop and wood stash is awesome bro , beautiful work.

[@Lazzoboy]

Appsolutley perfekt shape of a knife. The blade shape is 100% perfekt.

[@ramonrodriguez5728]

Wow, amazing, that is a beautiful puukko.👍

[@johnfrederikson2002]

Very nice work. Congratulations and thanks. J.

[@Koulter]

Muy buen trabajo, el cuchillo espectacular !!!!! Y la música 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@karimakinen4997]

Beautiful puukko!

[@doughboylsog]

Gorgeous blade

[@tonyohrnberg7738]

Very nice puukko. Seen a lot of those in my neighboring country Finland. Often they use tree bark in the handle. Maybe you should try it sometime just to get a different feel and look to it. Really liked your videos and subscribed. 👍👍👍

[@VonArmagedda]

Using birch bark as a handle is extremely traditional way to make the handle

[@trumpjongun8831]

Couple days ago i found traditional Tommi puukko from a forest when we were picking lingonberries. I just had to grind the rusts off the blade, clean the sheath and make a new handle. It was my first time to use birchbark as a handle material and it feels a lot better in a hand than wood. More soft and grippy. I prefer traditional rat tail tangs on puukko style knifes which go through the handle and is locked to brass plate. Looks better and is more durable.

[@michaelboyle9889]

That is an awesome knife it's a work of art 🔪

[@axtnorthman2093]

Awesome video and cool knife 👍

[@miked1765]

[@wijipurwanto8568]

Bagus sekali ommm mantapp...i like it....👍👍👍

[@FinSkater17]

Yup that's a Finnish style knife all right, also "puukko" means knife in finnish :P

[@moose6284]

Knife knife

[@pellcio]

Beautiful knife. What is the black sheet material and how thick is it? Thanks.

[@sergedelayaute4602]

[@TelltheElder]

Love your work mate.

[@BridgerviewBob]

Now that's a great video, no bs, just action, very helpful. What is the finish you put on the handle?

[@jostertervar9916]

Beautiful!!!!

[@АлександрЧерноусов-д3з]

Вот это нож.Работяга, не пижон... )))

[@HouseBladeDesign]

Great handle work..still think after 20 years makeing that is the hardest part.never did a stick tang knife....was the teak oil ???

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

thanks for watching. It was Boiled Linseed oil

[@martbar12]

wonderful job!

[@georgeskandalaros8661]

Nice looking knife. Wouldn't be preferable though to secure the handle with a small brass pin?

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

the epoxy I ise is very strong. I have tested it to destruction. However, yes, a pin is always good.
