    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.

    • @anonimniy
      @anonimniy 5 років тому +1

      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.

    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.

      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.

    • @sleestalk
      @sleestalk 6 років тому +4

      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?

    • @modeljack2993
      @modeljack2993 6 років тому +1

      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.

    Super cool. What kind of epoxy did you use for the handle? A longer setting, tougher epoxy I’d think would be better. I’d also slather the the bark in it to toughen it up for the handle when stacking them. I would be worried about some of those discs cracking and coming loose with too weak an epoxy or too little used.
