- By far one of my favorite knifes so far! The birch bark handle is not only comfortable but also pretty easy to make.
Thanks for watching!

Ever since I first learned of the puukko I have LOVED that style of handle construction. A simple concept that ends up functional and pretty.
That was absolutely awesome. For a young man you are an amazing blacksmith and craftsman. Not only did you do a great job on the blade itself but I was blown away by the way you made the handle. I haven't seen anyone do a stacked handle in a long time and you nailed it perfectly. Anyone would be proud to own that blade including myself. Great job
I have seen how the Finnish make birch bark handles for their knives and they don't use glue. Instead they have the tang pointed like a spike and stab the sheets of birch bark onto the tang of knife, then they pound the bark down using a wooden block or rod that is hallow in the middle to compress them together. They would do this several times in till the desired length is achieved
yeah, but it probably is easier that way.
Anthony Trinh , probably , one of the easiest ways is boiling up already compressed handle - birch tar will glue everything instead of you)
The method is older than glue.
Ioannes Eroi yep)
That handle has a really nice look to it. Brilliant as always.
I LOVE this knife, it's simplistic yet pretty! One thing that I see LOTS of people do that i don't understand is that they don't put a relief right before the hilt. It leads to a sloping edge after a few years of sharpening.
I can watch this all day. Simply amazing!
I love the handle! I never thought of Birch Bark before.
That handle is just...amazing. Such wonderful work!!
I’ve watched this video at least 10 times, I love it, great work!
i know that i always comment about your creativity being through the roof, but this one is a step above, the handle and blade are both beautiful.
Thank brother!
I love your move towards most artistic and creative knives. I would still like to watch your remaking videos and practice new skills :)
Damn...gotta admit at first I was a little skeptical but you proved me wrong! What a work of art man! Much respect! I really want to learn how to make my own knife.
That is absolutely swesome. The handle looks like leather
Love that you made the handle the traditional way... So awesome.
Love that handle. Very well done.
Wow, I have seen a lot of knives made, but never seen anyone use birch bark as a handle! That's really cool. I have tons of birch around here, now I have some plans!
That is a beautiful Finnish knife. I love the use of the cold chisel! Your technique is impressive and the knife looks like a real champ! Thanks for the fun video!
Enjoyable video as always! Love the knife it looks amazing!
Nice work as always. Look forward to seeing more.
Great work, looks really good ,thanks for posting 👍
I like the Finnish you put on this knife, well done!
Wow that's absolutely gorgeous.
Wow. Outstanding and amazing eye for detail. 10 out of 10. Brilliant
FINALLY!!! Someone who normalizes their blade. I have no doubt that a lot of folks do it off camera but I always get worried when I don’t see it.
Love the editing you add to your videos. Keep it up
thanks for make me learn what PATIENCE is Make N' Create, now i can see why some people go further than others, your channel is awesome and i enjoy every moment from your video ! greetings from Brazil
tip: add some Dark Piano musics to your video, it looks too over legendary man, trust me
great job, I think it came out awesome!
Pretty good. Didn't know that the bark could be used in this way. Excellent ... >:3
birch bark Is used for many things. It's very rich in natural oils and tar, so even though it's totally dried it's still very flexible.
maybe it was also used because in finlnd it goes from warm to very cold and that can take a toll on solid wooden handles and might make them crack?
Birch bark has historically been used for starting fires and sealing canoes by the native Americans. Tree bark in general has been used by ancient tribes as tree bark tents as homes.
Finns also used to make shoes, backbags, purses, and sheaths out of Birch bark
The imperial Inquisition The stuff can be worked like leather, from what I've seen since this video. So, perhaps not so surprising.
I am so in love! *sheds manly tears*
Beautiful! It's like one of those satisfying videos but better.
Such a great looking knife! Great job
Turned out superb👍👍
Not only Wood Thanks brother!

Excellent video, and you have amazing talent! That was incredible to watch and it must’ve taken years for you to master that! Quite amazing
I love the handle, bigger than I've expected but wow looks so awesome !
It's pretty long yeah, but it really makes a difference when handling it. Thanks mate!
Really great job my man. I was like “that handled never going to work” I was way wrong.

Love how you progressively speed up the video so the hammer strikes end up sounding like someone playing scales. Never seen that before. 👍👍
Отличная работа! Пусть нож служит долго!
Knife hand looks amazing just one word WOW 😍
I think this is my favorite piece you made! Good job
Mine too. Thank you!
Awesome job! Keep up the good work!
Wonderful to watch. Excellent job mate.
Wow! It's wonderful!
WOW! Really nice job and really cool technique👍
Классный нож, давно о таком мечтаю, простой и красивый клинок.
Excellent, excellent! Bravooo! Awesome northman knife, man! :D Greetings from Serbia! 🌳🌳🌳😀
Ivan'sChronicle 1 gegen1?
Love the rough finish you left after the hardening!
very kool, really awesome handle.
Again, WOW! I love the things you make, and the videos of you creating them. One thing I'd like you to add to your videos, is the time/days it took you to make each of these items.
Really like that handle!
For your tight fit problem : no need for glue nor to punch holes in every single bark piece. Next time, you can make the tang longer and pointy and use it to pierce the bark. You also need to pack the pile with some sort of tube every few bark piece
Endelig en sand håndværker. Jeg er selv knivmager og dit indehold er fantastisk!👍
Really love this knife!
ohh that was beautiful.
Gotta love that the sudoku on the paper was completed. Never cared much for sudoku though. Always was a crossword man myself.
absolutely beautiful
Marvelous craftsmanship 👍
you are a skilled craftsman as a fellow carpenter I respect your talent.

Me gusta muchísimo tú contenido es muy instructivo y a la vez le pones un poco de humor besitos en la cola desde Argentina
I love the way you edit your sound
Très très beau ! Bravo!
love the method behind the handle :)
This is the mother of beauty
I had no idea you could use the bark from a tree for a handle thank you for teaching me something new about the craft
Your vise says Leningrad on it? 8:37
It does!
@@MakeNCreate wow
Lmao this dude is here making a traditional finnish knife while he has a vise that has the name Leningrad on it
Fantastic!
Nice Work, that's a beautiful knife!
Ever thought about adding subtiles like other silent creators, for instance Primitive Technology, do? I think it would be very interesting to have the option of reading what exactly you're doing and what your thought process was/is.
Cheers! :)
I haven't thought of adding subtitles. It would take a lot of extra time to do, but will think about it. Thanks mate!

Another Beautiful blade!! keep up the amazing vids man. :D
:D
Bloody amazing
I think the handles like that used to be made separately, so it's not stuck to the blade, as often a good puukko can outlast a few handles.
Awesome Work
Fantastic video of the whole process start to finish, expertly edited to not lose interest but also show how much work goes into the process. The birch bark handle is something I've never seen before, it is beautiful but how does it hold up compared to leather/wood/G10/Micarta?
awesome stuff, really like your work. But why do you not heatshrink the crossguartds onto the tangs? I mean it would hold much better then glue and you just have to make a slightly smaller extrusion (2-10 micrometer)
This is so cool man. WHAT KIND OF STEEL?? I love how easily you get your fire roaring. My fingers won't do that.
lost buffalo looks like spring steel from a coil spring.
That makes sense. Thank you
Just a high carbon Steel rod. Thanks mate!
Thank you. Keep up good work
lost buffalo nob lol
Beautiful.
Never heard of a handle made like that before but damn is it cool. Now I want a forge -.-
Get one! or build one!
Тиски ещё советские-"Ленинград "! Молодец!
Nice video, awesome knife!
Woooow thats an amazing job...I wanna ask you cause is it possible that you make such a blade for me...blade only please. I am a german sheathmaker hobbyist and I can build the handle and the sheath myself but i have no forge available. I think you puuko is the best i just saw and i would love to have one of your production.
best regards and have a nice day
Norbert
Wow cool knife
I want to try this my self but I have 3 questions. 1. What kind of stock metal did you use? 2. I saw you tempered it for 2 hours in your oven but at what °C? 3. Any tipps on collecting the birch bark? Do I have to let it dry for a few weeks first? Thank you so much for all the videos of your work I really apreciate it! You are great!
You are an artiste 😃😃
this is art
The knife is nice, specialy the handle I like alot. Hopefully you will share haw you make a traditional knife sheath for this beauty. Thanks and more of that.
Quality content pal👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate!
