Great video Tim, very informative,, thanks..
Thank you very much for watching John.
Love that traditional style of Sammi knife and sheath .
Yes me too, very unique to this area. Many of them are extremely ornate with lots of scrimshaw patterns. I suppose in the old days it was a good thing to do in the dark winter to scratch patterns into the sheath of your knife.
Thanks for watching mate.
Definitely love the sheath on the knife you showed off here after talking about the sami people. So cool.
Thanks Nicole, I think this video was more about the Saami than the knife really but kind of more important to understand about the people than the knife.
Thanks for watching.
Yakut people of Siberia are reindeer herders . Although not herders, the Inuit of Canada/US and the Ainu people on the northern Islands of Japan are very similar ! Grizz 🐻
Similar environment means similar solutions to the same problems. The Inuit always fascinate me. Their kayaks, their harpoon and all of the cool stuff made from skin and bone. Now that is a harsh environment to sustain human life.
Thanks for watching Grizz
I liked the cool history of the Sami people, really enjoyed this! I never understood the design of the traditional sheath before , but now it totally makes sense. Awesome video brother!
Thanks mate, glad you learned something.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft love the awesome knife collection brother
@@bootlegbushcraft9953 did you see that on Instagram?
@@KuukkeliBushcraft just from watching your videos and seeing the great assortment of knives that you test, review and showcase
@@bootlegbushcraft9953 oh, I just posted a photo of a selection of my older knives. I thought you might have seen that. I had the box out to do this video. Thinking about it some of them showed up in the video 😂. I had knives all over the table.
Mate that is awesome with the fiskars sheath, I did not know they had them. Man I really like that, wonder if I can find them online hmmm. That antler sheath is amazing also, so very cool and unique!! Interesting history on the Saami, I think I remember you talking about em before a bit(maybe that clip of you talking you pasted in there?). Very cool stuff Tim!
The clip pasted in there was just that I like to show off the snow😂. I have mentioned the Saami in several videos. I will send you a link to a website where they have some of these knives.
Thanks for watching Walt, will send you a message shortly.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Lol yea mate its about the only way I get to see snow for the most part is on here haha. You're welcome Tim. I look forward to the link/message
Oh you mean Fiskars knives not the Saami ones. Don't bother mate, modern fiskars knives are junk. The old ones were just puukos the same as most other Finnish manufacturers. They make OK kitchen knives though. That sheath is about as old as me😂. I was just telling Rod, I had the box of ancient knives out because the Saami knife was in there and I had just taken a photo. The Fiskars was just handy, there were knives all over the table 😂. Most of those knives were 60s - 80s.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Thanbk you for letting me know Tim! I noticed last night that is all they are selling is kitchen knives on their page lol, I did like that old fiskars leather sheath though. Thats some knives mate goodness!! The Saami antler one was really cool though
Norwegian sami knives typically have no liner inside the sheath. They did it to simplify the production of tourist quality knives. Really old Norwegian sami knives had wood or bone/horn inserts. Mass production has sacrificed quality. Leaf spring steel became 1095 carbon steel from solingen Germany, then the blade manufacturing was moved back to norway, now mass produced by Brusletto in southern Norway. Probably still not made by sami people.
It appears that your sheath is untreated. If that is the case you can soak it in water and let it dry. It should shrink a bit and give you better retention. If desired, once dry you can then oil or otherwise treat the leather with a leather preservative. God bless, and thanks for the video👍
Thanks Gary, I guess I will already have waxed it, I normally do with these old knives. As for wet forming it, I don't really need the retention to be perfect on this one. I am not likely to be taking it into the forest, I have plenty of other knives for that.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Very interesting buddy
Thanks, glad you liked it. Hope you had a great weekend.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft you too buddy much love xoxox
Where do you live
Hetta
@@KuukkeliBushcraft in Finland?
@@antti927 yes Enontekiö up in the North West. I thought maybe you were a neighbour when you asked.
Your in Finland too I am guessing? Sorry for being unable to reply in your language.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Okey👍I live in Joensuu but I want move to Lapland! Sorry I have bad english.
@@antti927 Lapland is a fantastic part of the world. I have heard many Finns apologies for not speaking good English who actually speak it better than I do😂. I really do need to work on my Finnish though.
grew up with saami knife culture,i dont get the romantic view bushcrafters have over them,gimme a fulltang 1095 knife with kydex anyday
I can imagine 😂. It is romanticism more than practicality. I don't imagine I will ever use this knife outside of the house.
