Once again the master leaves his followers speechless with the craftsmanship embodied in the works of art he produces! Absolutely beautiful Osmo. Steve is a lucky guy.
Very nice work. Just beautiful with that copper. I have two pieces of walrus tusk that I've always wanted to work with. Looking for ideas brought me here. Thanks for the craft and the idea.
Ugh, you're killing me, I've wanted to get some Puronvarsi blades for a long time, they look so classy. I think you've just made up my mind, these knives are fantastic! Wonderful work as always. I just hope I can perfect those handle shapes, my last puukko came very close to being spot on, it's tricky work.
@@thetopicala I will bear that in mind, I just placed an order for one the other day, I don't mind the extra effort if the end result looks as good as the knives you showcase! I've picked up a lot of pointers watching your videos, thank you! Now I need to settle on handle materials...
Osmo, nice work fitting the bolster on those Puronvarsi blades, your work is always top of the line. I must watch your video how to fit a bolster to those rhombic section puukko blades. Your sheath work is also beautiful and inspiring.
Thanks John, happy to help and serve other hobby makers. There is a vid about attaching front bolster.. ua-cam.com/video/qtTbe2ppcz4/v-deo.html and about the special tool on the vid, forget it, you can do it without it too. Just patience - force with hammer and patience again. Osmo
Nice work. Hopefully whoever owns this knife takes care of it. I have some walrus tusk my grandmother's brother gave her from when he was in the Danish military at Thule in Greenland. All three of them are cracked. Apparently it is sensitive to changes in relative humidity. It will absorb water and swell with shrinkage occurring as it dries out. If the process occurs too fast then it can make the tusk crack. Many museums have walrus tusk carvings and they have the best information on how cracking occurs and how to prevent it.
Absolutely perfect work. I really like these knives. I'm giving you a big thumbs up. You wrote that you used copper. Is it really copper or bronze or brass? I plan to make Puukko, but I have access to copper (but not bronze and brass). All the best.
Tiukan klassinen suomalisen puukon muotoilu tuppineen kaikkineen, ja virheetön viimeistely on tuloksena. Hieno musiikkivalinta tukee viihdyttävää katselukokemusta. YP-taonnan Timantti-terä ja Fiskarssin kouluissa muinoin yleisesti käytetty Orijärvi-malli eivät oikein näytä puukon teriltä. Yhtä kaikki, samassa kategoriassa Tommi-juhlamallin kanssa. Kiitos.
Antti Vuorinen Kiitokset Antti! Näissä terissä on vain jotain joka kiehtoo minua. Vaativa ja haasteellinen teränmuoto etuhelan istutuksessa ja jonkinlaisen onnistumisen iloa. 😀Ja kaunista materiaalia siihen päälle!
@@thetopicala Minulla on yksi YPn bullnose tehtynä tehdashelaann, enkä ole tyytyväinen. Paitsi että korkeakiiltoinen terän pinta on prinsessanherkkää, on terän heloitus tosiaan haastavaa. Puran epätyydyttävän teoksen, ja teen helan kiillotetusta alumiinistä lyöntitiukalla sovituksella.
Abudlkadir Tosun Hey Ab! Someone may say it’s sad and someone it’s thoughtful or searching. I just felt I need this part of showing this very extraordinary (and serious to me) material. 👍🏻😀 I also find this music very beautiful from Armand Amar! thanks for asking, Osmo
I really like the contrast the copper bolsters have in relation to the YP blades and tusk. The color combination is fabulous, real works of art. Nicely done.
Those are not knives, they are works of art. You have made many many beautiful knives, I think you will never make prettier ones than these. They are your Master Pieces.
Osmo! I'm still here! How very, very beautiful!! Wonderful timing!! I've just been learning about ancient walrus ivory hunting and trade a thousand years ago that brought the Gaelic peoples and the Norse to eventually settle in Iceland, then Greenland and Arctic Canada. Where in the world did you get REAL walrus ivory. It must have cost a bloody fortune!! WOW!! EXQUISITE! :))
I love the look of copper, but now I know why I am not so successful with it. No snow here in Thailand for proper cooling ha! Excellent work. Question I have worked with antler before and it is really stinky!! What about this? Beautiful results as usual.!!!
I wonder if it's possible to make weight saving cavities in such material. I suppose replacing tusk with epoxy resin wouldn't make much difference anyway. Also, I wonder what maintenance if any such material requires over time.
Adam Smythe I think feeling the weight on this handle material is part of the ’thing’. If anyone has good advice maintaining it please throw a comment! Thank you, Osmo
Rub mineral oil over the tusks once in a while. It helps the tusk from drying out. (And don't let the ivory get hot while working it. The heat can dry it out, causing the tusk to produce cracks.) Nice work, nice knives.
