Great build! I love what you did with the handle, great idea!

[@leppicknives9830]

Thank you Denis.🙏🙏

[@Marcus_Shaw]

Fantastic build.
Unbelievable that you have been making vids for 5 years and YT has only just decided to show me one of yours 👍
Hopefully now this Challenge will help get views up for you 👍

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks. I've probably messed the algorithm by making videos first in Finnish and changed to English . I am hoping that YT starts to show now my content to right people.👍👍

[@theq86]

Excellent craftsmanship; I was particularly impressed by your handle and sheath. Also I think you have the best taste in music compared to the other competitors that I've seen so far. Great work.

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks. I use epidemic sounds to get good music. It costs a bit but i don't have to worry about copyright thing.

[@jarkkovanska6681]

Hello from Finland 🇫🇮👋... nice work 😁👍

[@leppicknives9830]

Kiitos.🙏

[@bjornronaldson6017]

Gorgepus work! I haven't made a Leuku yet, but it's little brother is one of my favorite outdoor knives to make!

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks. I used to carry double knife. Bit smaller leuku than this and small puukko knife in a same leather sheath. It was ok combo.

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

Beautiful work! I’ll be taking notes from your vid on your Scandinavian style sheath. I’ve been wanting to attempt one for a while. Congrats.

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks.Basic this kind sheath is pretty simple to make, even i can do it with my sausage fingers😊

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

@@leppicknives9830 😂

[@perttupaavola6174]

💪now seen your work IRL ITS even cooler

[@DBCraftWorld]

I like you keep tradition and made something Typical for your Land! Very original handle and very cool leather sheath! Nice work Man!

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks, not sure if it was the best thing for this kind challenge thou. Maybe I've should've done something fancier and bigger.

[@MASI_forging]

Awesome video. The knife looks so beautiful.

[@leppicknives9830]

[@leppicknives9830]

Kiitos!!

[@JPsBladeworks]

Awesome knife. I love what you did with the handle it was a great choice.

[@leppicknives9830]

Thank you! Traditionally leuku handles are made from karelian curly birch, i wanted something bit fancier.

[@nickyt3269]

beautiful, work, I LOVE the handle

[@leppicknives9830]

Thank you🙏

[@danfrost6099]

Awesome vid. Loved the look of the knife and seeing it in action. Looks well balanced for chopping!

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks Dan the man.

[@RainyDayForge]

Awesome video! And the knife turned out great too. I love the damascus pattern, the handle and the sheath that you made too. Actually, watching you make the sheath was a great addition to the video. I need to make one of that style.

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks! 🙏 . That Nordic style sheath is my favorite, even it limits bit of design of the knife.

[@Drew_lininger]

Very good! Love the damascus pattern it’s gorgeous ❤🔥

[@leppicknives9830]

Thanks 🙏
