Making a Puukko File Knife

- This is our 10th video and we are truly grateful for all who have watched, subscribed, liked, and commented.
This time I am making a puukko style carving knife from an old metal file for my father-in-law. I’ve combined black walnut, and a brass bolster with birch back that we found on a family hike while visiting my in laws in Vermont, to make the handle. The blade started from a file that I then drew out with some forge work to taper the blade then ground the bevels in with my 1x30 inch grinder.
All in all it turned out better than I could have hoped and I know my father-in-law will love and use it well.
I’m including time stamps below for those viewers who might want to jump around to particular parts of the knife making process. Thank you all so much for a successful first 10 videos and we hope you will continue to join us.

the little girl in the back ground was hilarious :-) great job on the knife
My very first knife was forged at the Blacksmith Shop in 1956 in my hometown in the rural Catskills. I was 7 years old and the local blacksmith was only open on Saturdays. I hung out there because it was really cool watching and learning. He taught me a lot of blacksmithing skills. He even forged some smaller hammers that I could handle.
David Bennett Sir, we’re about the same age. How fortunate for you to have had someone to show you a skill that so very few people have today. I had a similar situation in the mid fifties when I was 6-10 years old
There needs to be a love button for videos like this. The content displays all forms of what it means to be a craftsmen. Venturing into new areas of study outside your comfort zone to increase your skills, heartfelt forethought in materials used during the build, passion for making quality crafts, familial bonds, and a mischievous whimsy displayed by your shop elf's cameo ( at 29: 32). Keep up the awesome work!
I am a 50 yr old 'time served Craftsman' and I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your work, thanks for all the time and effort you put in and good luck with it for the future.
1969 what a wonderful year. 50 years of learning. Now what can you do with all your skills. Isn't it amazing how time just flies by. Stay busy and use you mind. It's true what they say. If you don't use it you will lose it.
Just wonderful to watch someone who pays attention to the details!
Man, your Videos have helped me in so many ways, I love that you teach using “budget” friendly machines. Thank you!
It is great to have all the fun in making this and send it as a gift to a friend to share that. Great job!
The right puukko has its own spirit. It cannot be bought. A good friend can donate a puukko, then a spirit comes into it.
I like it!
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship I am over 60yrs. I haven't bought any (Puukko). There are only two gifts received for the need of what was. I will remember their spirit until my death.
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship So you can only sell your good puukko as a gift to a third party. Then there is the spirit.
What I really appreciate about your videos, is that you slow down the process, so that viewers such as I, can really appreciate your Artistry and Craftsmanship! Very nice job!
Great job, what a gift to receive!
That’s a beauty! I love that birch bark. I have a bunch of those trees right in my yard!
Cool little knife thanks for sharing
Beautiful knife sir. Can't wait for the next vid but good things do take time. Thanks for taking time to show your process.
Great contrast on the handle between the bark and wood, nice job.
Great video. Love the craftsmanship and care you obviously have for the end product. Your kiddos was cute and provided a good chuckle.
The match between the wood and the birch is awesom !! great job!!
Great video. I know your wife has got to be proud of you making that for her father.
Your forge is great. Awsome idea that I will be copying.
Congrats on video number ten, Dustin! Thanks for these fine instructionals on knife making. I’m going to be spring boarding off your how-tos and trying my hand at some of this. I’ve already annealed two smaller files in my outdoor wood burning furnace, have two plans drawn up, and am working on knife number one. They’ll be a matching pair w different blade designs for use in the shop. Thank you!
Ditto on the music, another awesome piece of art, and some forging as well. Looking forward to your next projects. Thanks.
I'm 60 have had a few hobbies flint knapping, blacksmithing, really like watching you make things gives me some ideas.
Beautiful knife, Great video, and waiting for more, Sir.....
Loved the video, keep it up and I can’t wait to watch the other 9!
Enjoyed the video and seeing your helper do a guest appearance at 29:32 was way cool. Glad to see you include the next generation of makers in your shop time.

Beautiful knife! I love the birch bark.
Excellent job. Very beautiful. Thanks a lot.
Love your stuff! I'm 72 and have been a very amateur word worker for a number of years - just a duffer compared to your craftsmanship. Thanks for all the finer points you teach as you go along. So nice to watch when we are in single digits Fahrenheit in SW Colorado and my shop is unheated! Thanks again!
Love the videos! Great content and really enjoy the longer format.
Sweet knife, I really like the birch bark in the handle.

Very nice project, ..... best regards from Munich ... a friend of your work style from Bavaria !!!!
Love the video, and the music is so relaxing, brings back fond memories of road tripping on Grateful Dead tour, and going to Rainbow gatherings on the East Coast with a girl named Marie. She went to pick blueberries in Maine, while I made my way to Colorado. We wrote letters back and forth for the rest of that year...
Good stuff brothers D :)
Right on! Good memories. Cheers Steel!
