Making a simple Puukko with Saami style carvings

[@MianneH]

Beautiful knife and sheath! Great craftmanship!

[@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.

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

[@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 ;-)

[@simonpowell2559]

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

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.

Joli travail !

[@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 ;-)

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.

[@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

Stunning knife young man!

[@Aleeknives]

What a great puukko! I love the cinematic nature shots with the knife it really shows the knifes purpose! I am currently editing a step by step on making a Nordic knife to teach how to make the blade also! It would be great to have your opinion, it goes live this Sunday. Thanks man A+

...pleasantness...

[@lohikarhu734]

Just a small comment on the shape of the handle...I had an Sami friend evaluate a puukko that I made (including forging the blade) , and he commented that my handle was comfortable, but they prefer the shape to be more symmetrical, oval or roundish, so that it's easy to use one either direction. Also, I've never seen a puukko with the tang fastened like that, they are usually hammered over/diverted over a brass or silver 'washer' at the end of the grip...just a couple of little things, but it's a very pretty piece of work :-)

[@StevesWorkshopSwiss]

Thank you Yeah, my idea was not to make a traditional saami knife just a finnish type puukko with saami style engravings. I understand all this mixing up is bizarre especially for the finnish out there watching.

[@TheJere213]

I have noticed that almost all non Finnish knifemakers(that I've seen) online fasten the tang with threads at the end but never a puukko, so maybe the Finnish way is the less common way of doing it :P
