    The most important tool in all outdoor activities is the bushcraft knife, also known as scandinavian knife or just ´puukko´ in Finnish. It's a traditional knife and it's usually handmade. In this video I'll show you how I have made my knives and how you can do them too.

    Greetings from Canada. The brass parts are bolsters. The end of the knife that is sitting in the handle is tang. Thank you for this excellent video! I once made a new leather sheath and new handle from birch bark for my E. Jonsson Mora and now looking to buy blade and build my own Puukko.

      Thanks! I've been planning on building a new knife as well, as soon as I get my woodshop built.

    Nice! Your puukko is beautiful! Actually reminds me a bit of the famous Orijärvi puukko by Fiskars. The most sold knife in finnish history. (Well not that famous anymore, as they stopped making that in the early 90s). Great channel, subbed!
    Cheers from a fellow knife lover/youtuber from a village of Fiskars, Finland.

    Stumbled across this channel by accident while viewing videos on Eräpuu Leuku knives. I like it here; I think I'll stay. 😆

    Very much like my Nordic knives and you are right you do get to appreciate the virtues of a smaller blade as you've spent more time in nature or in the workshop for that matter. I'm starting my first knife handle and of course it's a Puuko blade. The plan is to carve Celtic knots down the handle as my own personal touch and so it has a better grip. Thank you for the video!!!!

      That sounds like a great idea, I bet it's going to look great!

    I got my hands on a M95 Ranger Puukko. It is a bit thick compared to the classic puukko but I like it.
    If I was going to get a less modern puukko I would want it to be full-tang because I am a fan of full tang knives (hidden tang knives really bother me).

    Ymmärtääkseni leuku on saamelaisten perinteinen veitsi, joten sen täytyy kyetä myös teurastamaan poroja.

    I have just bought me a Ahti leuka 90. I prefer a blade between 3.5 inch to 3.75 inch. That just seems to be my sweet spot.
    Stumbled onto your video because I was researching what I'd bought.😂

      That knife looks great! And also, that's a great length. I think most that I use are around the same size.

    Very interesting. Also the pronouncing of the work, Leuku.
    I have a leuku with a blade forged by Pasi Hurttila. Do you know whether he´s still in business? cause I cant find much from him.

    Sheath for the knife cover and bolster or Ferrell for the piece in front of the handle

      I think that you meant ferrule. Auto correct can be annoying.
