Here's a piece from an older thread entitled "Scandinavian Fixed Blade Knives" from 2010 in this topic: I think that this is where I got the idea that "PUUKKO" was a Finnish term applied to a Nordic knife:

Hey guys, If you want some great info on making Puukkos and some tutorials and parts and supplies, google up Brisa Knife supplies. They are in Finland and have a great selection.

Here is a puukko I just finished...well it's 98% finished.... still need to peen the tang over. The first knife I've ever made.

Lauri puukko blade.

Guayacan & Ziricote handle with brass guard.

Sheath: Leather, wood, and deer antler.

No power tools other than a hand drill. Mostly used my Swiss Army Woodsman knife.

Thank you Bill. I'm finding a lot of good material on the Finnish sites, unfortunately most of them don't offer English translations. Suomi Puukkoseura publishes a magazine or journal twice a year which would be worth getting just for the pictures.

I have a feeling Joonas is going to be a very busy young man for quite some time.

I need some help here. Might this happen to be a diamond in the rough Puukko. It's one of 3 knives I purchased yesterday at an estate sale. This ?? Puukko has no name attached anywhere on the knife. The wood handle is very dense, kind of like a curly maple, set in what appears to be pewter. The handle and blade are of equal length, 4 inches each. The blade has a flat grind, with a swage on the front left side of the blade only. The swage measures 1 1/4 inch in length. Then again, the knife may be an amateur's first attempt's at knife making. What ever it is, it's a very solid knife, and takes quite a good edge. It was in an old leather tool bag ( which contained a number of very good old antique tools ) and I got the whole lot for $15.00. I apologize for not being able to provide a better pic, but am hoping someone may have an idea on whether or not this is a Puukko. Also, the knives shown on these pages are very nice looking. Thank you for your time ::nod::. Dale H.

I received my Tuominen puukko today, so I thought I'd add some pictures. It is much more robust than my Kallioniemi puukko, which I think is optimized for woodworking. I think this one is more of an all-arounder and should make for a great woodswalking knife.

Specs are as follows -- 8 1/8" OAL, with a 3 13/16" silversteel blade. The handle is stacked birch bark, with a brass bolster and buttcap. The sheath (tuppi) is the traditional leather with a wooden insert.

Wow, kam another beautiful puukko. :shock: I'd like to have the chance to check out puukkos by the various the master smiths to see how they feel in hand. Pekka's work is amazing.

Thanks Mike. I guess you're going to have to order one to keep your Joonas knife company.
