They really are beautiful and amazingly comfortable in the hand. I didn’t grow up with them, but I’ve become a huge fan of their utility.
Have to agree, at best the handles of puukkos are extremely comfortable. Guess just centuries of trial and error, trial and error have formed them or something…
Thanx for watching!
When I was growing in Poland in 50ties sixties it was every boys dream to have the knife like that. We called them Finka. Great presentation, thanks for sharing. I still love the knifes to this day.
Oh wow, cool! did not know that!
Thank you for watching, have a great day!🌲🐺🌲
My wife is buying me that book for my Birthday in about 8 weeks, what a great gift! Can't wait to read it! Thanks for the recommendation!
Nice, its a great Book! And Anssi (the author) is a very nice guy, a true Puukko Professor. And also a Master Bladesmith with stunning knives.
(should do a more indepth interview with him).
Thanx for watching, have a great weekend!🌲🔪🌲❄️🌲
Thank you! Fantastic content.
Thanx for watching! Much appreciated!
I'm enjoying if not all, most of your videos, thanks for the effort👌
Thanx man, much appreciated! Have a great day!🌲🔪🌲🐺🌲
I first heard the word Puukko in late winter/early spring of 1973. I was helping an old fur trapper catch beaver. While setting traps on day we heard rifle shots coming from the road above us along with ricocheting bullets in the trees somewhat near us. The old trapper said that he thought Puukko Thomas was trying to scare us away from the creek that he wanted to trap. I asked Bob what kind of a name is Puukko? He said, “that was his nickname, Puukko is a kind of knife from Finland”. I thought I myself a guy named knife is shooting at us, Bob fired a couple of shots up the hill. We had no further interaction with Puukko Thomas. A couple of years later I bought a Hackman made, Tapio Wirkkala designed puukko from an American Catalog. Best knife I hade ever owned at that time. I later discovered hand forged Finnish Tommi Puukko’s were even better. I have taught myself how to make traditional Puukko’s by buying hand forged blades from Finland makers, then adding handles of birch bark and woven birch bark sheaths. A enjoyable little hobby that makes high quality Puukko’s somewhat more affordable. Nothing better in the knife world than hand forged, silver steel Puukko’s from Finland.
Thank you for a wonderful historical lecture.
Wow, thank you for the awesome story! Man those Wirkkala Puukkos are getting expensive.. Funny enough they were partially made about one kilometer from where I live, in Fiskars village. But you are right Tommi Puukkos are better, and many many others. Interesting also how influential those were back in the days, f.e. the famous Norwegian Helle made their own versions of it.
Thanx for watching, thanx for the great story, have a great day my friend!
Puukos are my favorite to make and give away. Very useful knife.
Yeah, they are indeed very usefull tools! Thanx for watching!🌲🔪🌲
I am really starting to enjoy and appreciate the utility of puukko knives. I recently picked up a Marttiini military puukko (marked 1963 from the Finnish Armored School, which I appreciate as a retired US military officer who was born in 1963). I also own a modern Peltonen M07 Ranger puukko and an Ahti Varrapuukko, which I carry nearly every day for normal tasks. They are all beautiful and very useful knives.
Wow, that Martiini from 63 is quite a find! Ahti makes really awesome QPR puukkos imo, good steels, craftmanship, design with more than affordable prices. Thanx for watching and have a great day! 🌲🌲🔪🌲🌲
Interesting that you chose a painting by Akselli Gallen-Kallela as a thumbnail to the video. I really like his work and he has an interesting biography. Thanks for posting.
I’m also a big fan of his work! Thought Kullervo as a figure is somehow quite fitting here…
Thanx for watching man!🌲🔪🌲
Been really busy the past few days. Really love all those Finnish puukko knives and the sheaths. They are both so iconic. I did have a couple of favorites though 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Will do more indepth videos on few of those Puukkos soon!
Thanx for watching man!
Good discussion. I found it very interesting that Finland had its own version of mountain men, as I have long been fascinated by the mountain men of the Rocky Mountains and was even involved with the American Mountain Men in my younger days. I had a little trouble with the audio, which is unusual for one of your videos. Thanks for sharing your research and knowledge.
Always found the Mountain men culture fascinating. The outdoors culture of North America in general. Its not coincidence that imo the greatest culture for outdoor knives also comes from Nordic countries and North America.
Thanx for watching!
(always a bit of a struggle with the audio set up. I both a new camera where I can put a good mic. So hoping it would help.)
I enjoy history. I learned quite a bit, actually, so thanks for that.
Puukkos are amazing. There's no doubt. They're just the perfect edged tool for the bush. And you have some really nice ones! 👍
But please don't talk about going to Lamnia anymore. I get so jealous! Lol!
Great video.
😂Thanx for suffering through my history ramblings,lol!
Hahaha😅, yeah Lamnia is awesome shop, with very nice people working there.
But to be fair, I only go there about once a year. (But when I do I take my precious time,
and my wife and her relatives knows this all too well😀lol.)
Thanx for watching man, and have a great day!
Hey, how did I miss this video? I love it!
Thanx for watchin my friend!
Cheers! 🌲🔪🌲
2nd from left. I love her.
Yeah the Old Orijärvi Puukko. That is a beauty indeed! Fiskars should bring it back.. Did a full review of it also.
Thanx for watching!
I would like more details on the book
Finnish History is very interesting! especially your famous sniper Simo Häyhä, what an amazing man! His injuries were quite horrific, but, he was an incredible man and endured to quite an old age. I remember reading his original home that WAS in Finland is now Russian territory! Sad how Russia stole so much of your territory. But, that is History, here in the US, the Native land was stolen by the European Settlers which once it became the US, the Government doubled down on eradicating the local natives. Such is History, but those who do not study and learn from history are bound to repeat it! And it does repeat in cycles! Great History lesson, learned so much! Freedom, Socialism has consumed many of our Governments, it's happening right before our eye's here in the US! Communist censoring of our speech occurs daily, I just came off of Facebook Lockdown for two days for making an honest truthful remark about a Psycho Tranngender who was a mental case and they slapped me with two day's in Facebook Jail! This is why I dislike FaceBook, and UA-cam is just as bad!
"Those who do not study history are bound to repeat it" That is excatly so. Reading history is SO important, and its so sad the level of ignorance with so many people. History lies before us, and it should be thought as a great gift and a blessing that we can learn from it! It is sad what happened with Russia crabing territories, f.e. my Mothers side grandmothers Childhood home (which she would have inherited was left in the Russian side, after the new borders. But, like you said so is history. And Im gratefull of the sacrifices made by the generations during those horrific war years. And now we have our independence.
