Making a simple Puukko with Saami style carvings

[@ericdowney6374]

My wife went to Sweden about 20 years ago, and she brought me back a "Sammi Knife" as a gift cuz I used to work with Alaska Native reindeer herders. It's exactly like your knife, except the sheath uses some exposed reindeer antler with carvings/scrimshaw instead of the wood you used. Your craftsmanship is excellent. I've dressed out at least a dozen caribou plus a moose, a brown bear and a couple of black bears. I wouldn't use it if it didn't work great for the job and fit my hand so nicely. I worry about my first finger slipping/choking up onto the blade and cutting myself but that hasn't happened (yet). It also holds an edge very well. Plus it's beautiful and it's authentic. And now I know it's called a "Puukko Knife." Thank you for sharing the culture with your great photography and skills.

[@brightargyle8950]

Ah! A Puronvarsi blade, excellent choice! I've been using those blades for a few years when I can get them, they're fantastic!

[@tshansen]

I'm blown away by the attention to detail... this is true craftsmanship 🔥

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

[@Maximaomega]

thank you. your videos bring peace to mind. regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

That is a beautiful knife, looks right at home in those rugged mountains! What is the white block used between the antler and wood?

[@mitchpodger1232]

I really enjoyed watching that process, thank you.

[@rafaelmenendezgarcia1304]

l bought one in Geneva years ago and now I know the amount of work it takes to make such a knife, and I like it even more. Thanks for the video

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

And mine is a simple one compared to the real traditional Sami knives with all the carvings on it. Thanks to you ;-)

[@MianneH]

Beautiful knife and sheath! Great craftmanship!

[@Orlosthedruid]

Just incredibly good work, knife and video.

[@levijosephcreates]

Much respect for your part in the cultural war, cheers and all the best.

[@MultiRusty111]

I just made a puukko knife using a YP Taonta blade.I used hand cut stacked leather for the handle,as well as a brass bolster and handmade brass butt cap.Then I made a Sami style antler and leather sheath for it.I'd like to learn how to do the artwork on the antler.I used elk antler for my sheath.You did a nice job on the Sami style artwork.

[@simonpowell2559]

Just unbelievable, craftsmanship at its best. A tool but so much more.

[@borneo4x4]

Simple..? Not Simple.. it's a work of art! Nice knife.

Fantastic knife! I never had a desire to make a Puukko until I saw you make this one. Very beautiful!

[@stefanmischke4191]

Absolutely brilliant!!

[@tetsudo1111]

That was a wonderful ending to my Christmas day. I watched your whole process and I don't remember the last time I watched an entire youtube. Sign of the times with internet induced ADD or my own mental shortcoming; but fantastic work. You are an honorary Finn.

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

That's a very nice comment ! Don't worry about the short attention span, I have the same problem with KZbin. Have some nice holidays ;-)

[@nickblacksoul4318]

Well done would like see more Sammi carving ... I can almost smell that forest ...

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Thanks, at some point i'll try to make a more detailed video of how I do Sami engravings

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Merci beaucoup pour ce gentil message

[@jomamma1750]

Excellent Video! Thank You Sir. Piece of advice from an old mechanic: When you mix your epoxy mix it on a piece of steel with a piece of steel. The paper you used here will absorb some of the aromatic solvents in the epoxy and throw the 2 part mixture off a bit which can and will affect long-term durability. The steel is easy to clean with a wire wheel or grinder/cup brush and is forever reusable. Great Channel BTW!

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Hey, thank you very much for the comment and the advice ! I'll try this tip next time ;-)

[@jomamma1750]

@@StevesWorkshopSwiss You're Welcome!

[@HonestDoubter]

Your birch betrayed you twice. Not a lot of figuring and a spot you needed to repair. Despite all that - you did a great repair and used the wood. Amazing knife and amazing build. Truly something to be proud of.

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Thanks mate, it's true sometimes you can have some suprises with wood

[@massimilianonicolini4473]

Veramente un coltello fatto con tanta maestria e passione.

As a Finnish born son I have not only my own Puukko Knife , but my fathers and my Grandfathers as well. they are all a durable and sturdy for use on the family farm, from cutting bales to dressing the cows when butchering.

[@udohirschmnn1479]

Very well done. Compliments!

[@jpallen719]

Such a simple process with very little technical tools or detailed work shop..... highest quality knives though.....

[@ВаняКобенко]

Красавчик чётко сделал руки от куда надо растут.

[@TheHM78]

Very nice knife! Expecting an order tomorrow from brisa with the stuff to make a knife for the first time., the thread on the back of the tang is new to me but i like the idea and maybe will do the same, cause i forgot to order a backplate and don’t want to rely on glue alone.. Again , masterpiece maybe because of it’s relatively simplicity

[@Ben.Cullen]

I love the sheath, keep up the great work :)

What tool do you use when carving in the bone, and what do you use when coloring the carvings?

[@PolarisMyWay]

Excellent work!

[@hetzer223]

What kind of paste (blackening) do you use for the etched areas?

[@marcokerklaan7211]

Great knife, love the carvings. Just, why use the bolt? I never seen a knife come loose that was just glued.

[@KingsizeDesign]

Great Craftmanship and Love to Detail. Liked and Subed

[@mlminto]

knice knife. would you tell me why you drilled a hole, and put a dowel in the handle? thanks!

I love birch wood. Yeah there's nothing else to the comment I just love birch wood.

[@memphisschlimgen1614]

You know who also like birch wood…. MY MOM

[@OUTDOORSSWEDEN]

Awsome knife!

[@9thshieldmartialarts]

what have you put in between the two sections of antler to give that black stripe?

[@brastdoor1231]

Nice!

[@Raduldo]

Steve, I am just wondering, how long does one belt sander lasts you?

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

I can sand 3-4 handle with it. But of course If I'm using them to sand metal it turns them blunt really fast. I'm using almost only 60 grit so even if it's blunt you can still remove a fair amount of matter. ;-)

[@gildaslemoal3954]

Bonjour, très beau travail , une question : pourquoi un trou sur le côté du manche ?? Merci pour votre réponse bonne continuation

[@piergiorgiomaltini9396]

where can you buy a masterpiece like this or similar?

[@dryflyonly1]

What color you use for antler graving paint job?

[@ThrashingBuddha]

What a great video! Thanks so much, it has taught me everything i need to know for similar projects. Liked and subscribed!

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Thanks to you ! If my videos can help some people out there then it makes me happy

[@tonypavlik4434]

Do you make your own blades too? Very nice knife! I would love to have one like that.
