- By far one of my favorite knifes so far! The birch bark handle is not only comfortable but also pretty easy to make.
Thanks for watching!

Ever since I first learned of the puukko I have LOVED that style of handle construction. A simple concept that ends up functional and pretty.
That was absolutely awesome. For a young man you are an amazing blacksmith and craftsman. Not only did you do a great job on the blade itself but I was blown away by the way you made the handle. I haven't seen anyone do a stacked handle in a long time and you nailed it perfectly. Anyone would be proud to own that blade including myself. Great job
I have seen how the Finnish make birch bark handles for their knives and they don't use glue. Instead they have the tang pointed like a spike and stab the sheets of birch bark onto the tang of knife, then they pound the bark down using a wooden block or rod that is hallow in the middle to compress them together. They would do this several times in till the desired length is achieved
yeah, but it probably is easier that way.
Anthony Trinh , probably , one of the easiest ways is boiling up already compressed handle - birch tar will glue everything instead of you)
The method is older than glue.
Ioannes Eroi yep)
Love that handle. Very well done.
I can watch this all day. Simply amazing!
That handle has a really nice look to it. Brilliant as always.
Good ol Finnish knife
yeah XD

I love the handle! I never thought of Birch Bark before.
That is absolutely swesome. The handle looks like leather
Great work, looks really good ,thanks for posting 👍
I like the Finnish you put on this knife, well done!
i know that i always comment about your creativity being through the roof, but this one is a step above, the handle and blade are both beautiful.
Thank brother!
FINALLY!!! Someone who normalizes their blade. I have no doubt that a lot of folks do it off camera but I always get worried when I don’t see it.
I LOVE this knife, it's simplistic yet pretty! One thing that I see LOTS of people do that i don't understand is that they don't put a relief right before the hilt. It leads to a sloping edge after a few years of sharpening.
That handle is just...amazing. Such wonderful work!!
Knife hand looks amazing just one word WOW 😍
Puukko Knives are the most beautiful knives.
Puukko means a knife
@@lassim3111 it means hunting

I’ve watched this video at least 10 times, I love it, great work!
Love that you made the handle the traditional way... So awesome.
Damn...gotta admit at first I was a little skeptical but you proved me wrong! What a work of art man! Much respect! I really want to learn how to make my own knife.
I love your move towards most artistic and creative knives. I would still like to watch your remaking videos and practice new skills :)
Pretty good. Didn't know that the bark could be used in this way. Excellent ... >:3
birch bark Is used for many things. It's very rich in natural oils and tar, so even though it's totally dried it's still very flexible.
maybe it was also used because in finlnd it goes from warm to very cold and that can take a toll on solid wooden handles and might make them crack?
Birch bark has historically been used for starting fires and sealing canoes by the native Americans. Tree bark in general has been used by ancient tribes as tree bark tents as homes.
Finns also used to make shoes, backbags, purses, and sheaths out of Birch bark
The imperial Inquisition The stuff can be worked like leather, from what I've seen since this video. So, perhaps not so surprising.
Wow, I have seen a lot of knives made, but never seen anyone use birch bark as a handle! That's really cool. I have tons of birch around here, now I have some plans!
WOW! Really nice job and really cool technique👍
Wow that's absolutely gorgeous.
Отличная работа! Пусть нож служит долго!
Wow. Outstanding and amazing eye for detail. 10 out of 10. Brilliant
That is a beautiful Finnish knife. I love the use of the cold chisel! Your technique is impressive and the knife looks like a real champ! Thanks for the fun video!
I think this is my favorite piece you made! Good job
Mine too. Thank you!
For your tight fit problem : no need for glue nor to punch holes in every single bark piece. Next time, you can make the tang longer and pointy and use it to pierce the bark. You also need to pack the pile with some sort of tube every few bark piece
Wow! It's wonderful!
Тиски ещё советские-"Ленинград "! Молодец!
This is the mother of beauty

Excellent video, and you have amazing talent! That was incredible to watch and it must’ve taken years for you to master that! Quite amazing

Love how you progressively speed up the video so the hammer strikes end up sounding like someone playing scales. Never seen that before. 👍👍
That's a really pretty knife
Nice knife👍
Fine work. Well done.

Alto video capo me re encanto saludos desde argentina
Your vise says Leningrad on it? 8:37
It does!
@@MakeNCreate wow
Lmao this dude is here making a traditional finnish knife while he has a vise that has the name Leningrad on it
Again, WOW! I love the things you make, and the videos of you creating them. One thing I'd like you to add to your videos, is the time/days it took you to make each of these items.
Très très beau ! Bravo!
I had no idea you could use the bark from a tree for a handle thank you for teaching me something new about the craft
Nice job
Very nice. I love it.
Sweet!
Legend has it that the handle grew by itself.
P.S.-nice job! You just gained another sub!
Muy bueno, saludos desde Argentina.
You are an artiste 😃😃
Another Beautiful blade!! keep up the amazing vids man. :D
:D
Nice Work, that's a beautiful knife!
Ever thought about adding subtiles like other silent creators, for instance Primitive Technology, do? I think it would be very interesting to have the option of reading what exactly you're doing and what your thought process was/is.
Cheers! :)
I haven't thought of adding subtitles. It would take a lot of extra time to do, but will think about it. Thanks mate!

Never heard of a handle made like that before but damn is it cool. Now I want a forge -.-
Get one! or build one!
I think the handles like that used to be made separately, so it's not stuck to the blade, as often a good puukko can outlast a few handles.
Beautiful.
Nicely done
this is art
awesome stuff, really like your work. But why do you not heatshrink the crossguartds onto the tangs? I mean it would hold much better then glue and you just have to make a slightly smaller extrusion (2-10 micrometer)
This is so cool man. WHAT KIND OF STEEL?? I love how easily you get your fire roaring. My fingers won't do that.
lost buffalo looks like spring steel from a coil spring.
That makes sense. Thank you
Just a high carbon Steel rod. Thanks mate!
Thank you. Keep up good work
lost buffalo nob lol
Fantastic!
Да отличный кленок 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic video of the whole process start to finish, expertly edited to not lose interest but also show how much work goes into the process. The birch bark handle is something I've never seen before, it is beautiful but how does it hold up compared to leather/wood/G10/Micarta?
Very nice work
