Born and Raised in the Ozarks of Arkansas. It's amazing passion/collection of knives you have!! I see the influence of this style world wide. Beautiful
At 5:50, the connection with the horse head "pommels" (if you can call them that). The story goes that there was a man called Juho Kustaa Lammi who served for the military in Vaasa/Finland during the time we were a part of Russia. A cavalry officer asked Juho to make a horse head pommel for his sabre (or possibly whip) and that the head was to be modeled after the officer's own horse. He accepted, being a gun smith for the military. Later he started making knifes, and thought of the praise he'd gotten from the officer years earlier, and started adding these heads to the puukkos he made in Kauhava. This was maybe120 years ago. I still have a 2-part horse head knife in my collection of maybe 200 various puukkos, this was my first knife I got as a present from my dad on my 10th birthday in 1978. It has the same horse heads on both the big normal sized knife, and on the otherwise identical but really small additional knife in the same sheath. Thank you for an interesting video, and greetings from Finland!
Thank you very much for this detailed additional info. Very much appreciated. Awesome you still got your fist, gifted by your father. And impressive number of puukkos you got. Very curious.
The one part that stood out and I really enjoyed was you telling us in your culture how the men and women wore their Puukko's to Church, I just loved that. My kind of Church! Hallelujah! 🙏🙏@@Henk_Hakvoort
The most beautiful collection of Scandinavian knives on RUclips. A real pleasure to watch them. Thank you for such a great presentation. I collect scandi knives also. My favorite is puukko with birch bark handle.
I inherited a knife from my father that is similar to that at 13:00 in your video. I remember it being in his workshop years ago and it makes sense that it dates from WW2. I had always wondered what the sheath was made from and now I know. Very interesting video - thanks
Thank you for sharing this collection. Those are some wonderful knives. Have you ever seen the work of American blade smith William Scagel? I think some of his knives may have been influenced by these styles, but they are also quite different in a way.
Servus Henk,ich bin hin und weg,eine tolle Puukko Sammlung,da sind einige wunderschöne Messer bei,danke fürs Zeigen und Gruß an Deinen Messerfreund, LG Christoph
13:00 to my understanding the paper sheaths were used because military needed all the leather for different kinds of soldiers eguipment, and they were on short supply through the war. So knife factories had to improvise
@@Henk_Hakvoort I just happened to reacently read article written by Taisto Kuortti on history of finnish knives. There was short section on war time production knife, and it covered the sheaths. Apparently it was cardboard like material used in shoe industry. I tried to find the article in english since it covered lots of different eras, and i thought you might find it interesting also just to find source on this info since im not educated in the subject. I just couldnt find english version
@@lalli8152 I really do appreciate your effort to find a English version of the article. Pitty you didn't find it. Maybe it even doesn't exist. Thanks a lot Lalli.
@Lalli yes Sir, you' re right. This knife is an Iisakki Järvenpää model "Coats of Arms", and the sheat was made of cardboard due to the reasons you mentioned. Last year I emailed people at Iisakki Järvenpää, as I have a knife like this one that belonged to my grandfather, just to know a little more about it. They very kindly answered me, and that was one of the most surprising details. Greetings from Argentina
@@Henk_Hakvoort The fact that it has the brass ferrule means that it can be dated between 1938 and 1941, because after 1941 all the brass was commissioned for the production of ammunition. The model is called the Erikoisvuolu Puukko or sometimes also called the Pula-ajan Puukko (translates roughly as the 'crisis years knife'). The paper sheats and puukkos with the zinc ferrule were made until 1949 when leather became widely available again in Finland. Erikoisvuolu actually means 'the Special Woodcarver', although it is a general purpose knife and even the kind people at Iisakki Jarvenpaa, nowadays, don't know why it was called this way. The cardboard could be Unica, the pressed paper also used for luggage cases and the Mora knife sheaths.
I have a puukko knife I bought at a pawn shop here in the states back in the early 80s. It has writing on the blade that I can’t read. Any ideas. Thanks.
Wow most beautiful Scandinavian knives, I've ever seen! I hope you don't use that steep and uneven angle on these kind of blades with that history and value. I'm talking about 21:45 That was a really steep angle, even for a chopper! You used a much different angle for the other side, I'm sure you know you have to be consistent doing exactly the same on both sides. I just made the comment for people who don't know how to properly maintain their blades!
The Puukko is not Scandinavian. It is Finnish. A completely different cultural and linguistic country. Northern, or Nordic, but not Scandinavian. Common error. Scandinavians are north Germanic. Finns are from the east, and related to Estonians and maybe some other Siberians. Even the knife traditions have different origins. Today everyone borrows from one another of course. Cheers!
@@Henk_Hakvoort But many scandinavian knives are pretty much identical to finnish. Puukko is just finnish word, but has become quite international term to refer these style. I at least personally dont see anything wrong people calling these scandinavian or nordic style knives.
If I can be a little cheeky here. Finnish DNA has on average about 5 percent of north Asian dna (oddly we have the largest percentage of proto European dna). Enough to send us apart from the rest of the Europeans but not really that much. Our closest relatives are estonians obviously and closely behind them are swedes. In a sense we are speaking language that hasn't been "ours" for centuries.
@@ReasonAboveEverything True. People can morph biologically, in a single land, yet maintain language and culture as the DNA changes. Some people like the idea of being physically specific, yet language and culture actually give us our identity.

The most informative presentation that I have seen on the subject. Thank you.
THANK YOU! I LOVE PUUKKO's and enjoy learning more of the history behind them. You video was so informative, I learned so much from it! Thank You!
Thank you very much. Exactly the purpose of the video.

Great Collection…😊😊😊
Thank you.
A beautiful collection and a worthy review.
That was a treat. Thank you!
Thank you!
Scandinavian knives are the most beautiful, I love my moras and marttiinis but I’ll have to get some of the original ones
Thank you for sharing your beautiful set of knives. My eyes are glued to the screen. Cheers from Portugal
I recently got into puukko knives. I love these now. I gravitate to the simplicity and sleekness of the puukko design. Great review!
Fantastically beautiful 🫡
Good to see a good representation of scandi knife culture.
What I grew up with and love
J
Helemaal tot, als je zo'n bijzonder gave collectie bezit. Leuk om te zien en te horen. Keek weer lekker weg 😀👍

In a way every knifemaker influences every knifemaker. So I think Scagel was also influenced by scandinavian knifemaking.
Beautiful knives!
Thank you! Beautiful knives
Thank you Kent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
the best working knife is the traditional swedish mora knife
I want to buy one, how do i do? I'm from Việt Nam
Maybe take a look at the etsy shop of Nick from HF Survival School. He makes pukkoo's.

Can you guess me ww2 finish army private purchased puuko ? It's for ww2 reenactments. Thanks...
Do you mean if I can recommend a ww2 period made puukko? I'm sorry, my knowledge is not covering that area.
@@Henk_Hakvoort thanks anyway ^*^
Puukko is a personal item not an army issued item.
