Mammoth Ivory - Puukko knife build Pt.3 - Mammoth ivory and ironwood knife handle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- The puukko knife is getting a mammoth ivory and ironwood handle! I go over how to construct the mammoth knife handle on the puukko and talk about the qualities of mammoth ivory and desert ironwood. Both materials are unique to work with for different reasons. Mammoth ivory sure does stink, but I couldn't tell if it was worse than the smell of the ironwood! This is a mammoth knife handle at it's best! In the mammoth puukko knife build Pt.3 we finish the knife and move into Pt.4 where we will make the scabbard, probably the coolest part of the build yet! I love working with woolly mammoth tusks and teeth! What an amazing and exotic material to get to play with, and best off all the woolly mammoth died of natural causes so we don't have to worry about poaching for the mammoth tusk ivory!

Ivory and ironwood might stink but they look awesome. Pukko knife look beautiful. scabbard grest idea👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
You picked the perfect orientation for that mammoth ivory on the handle! Its nice to see the concentric rings on the spine of the knife. Great job!
Thanks Denis!
a master piece Puukko great work very good instructional video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man that came out nice!
Thanks man!
Ult, I've done antler and iron wood, to me it's deer antler
Deer antler is awesome material to work with also! Smells just as bad though!
To prevent chip out on the tusk during drilling, epoxy a piece of sacrificial scrap steel to the tusk or use the back to back layered painters tape method. This will prevent your drill from putting lateral pressure on the tusk, plus creates sort of “hold down or clamping/backing pressure” to prevent chip out. After drilling remove the steel and clean up with acetone.
Love your videos
Very nice tip!
Thanks for following along! Part 4 is all about making the wooden scabbard! Here is the link to the series ruclips.net/video/43P0rIy9Qz8/видео.html
That knife is absolutely beautiful. Everything came together perfectly. Amazing build. Love it. Davin
Thank you Davin! See you next time
The texturing on the guard and the contrast of the mammoth tusk and iron wood is awesome. A truly beautiful knife.
Thank you Gordon! I appreciate that, glad to have you here on the channel!
That is a beautiful knife and sheath!
Thank you John!
wow beautiful, what a combo
Thank you very much!
Wow man! That’s stunning!!
Thanks again !
This end result is beautiful
Thank you Nick! Wait till you see how I made the sheath on Sunday!
That's a fine piece man !
Thank you!
Beautiful work
Thank you Rob!
Great knife.
thank you!
I agree 100%. Everything about this knife is gorgeous. I'm glad the hamon worked out so good for you. This sheath should be interesting too
Thank you! I think the sheath is what shines!
Gorgeous
Turned out exceptiona,y well m8!!
Really appreciate that!
Amazing 👍🏼
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
That is frickin' awesome, Airin! I love that!
The figuring in the materials are so complimentary to each other. The hamon is awesome, too, making the whole line-up-thing go from tip to butt.
You can't sell that. You HAVE to keep it for yourself.
Can't wait to see you make a traditional Finnish sheath for it(?)!
Boom, brother! 🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
I sold it 😁😁😁
@@Aleeknives
Well, it's gone to a loving home!
I'm just sore after giving away my 3rd knife. I would have loved to keep it, but it was worth every penny giving it to a good guy.
Here is how I look at it! I have made hundreds of knives and each new knife is a little better! I still have never kept one of my own!
@@Aleeknives
I'm a ways behind you, man. Each one I made (only 3!) has gotten better, and the best was the last - as it always is! 👊🏻👍
Thanks!
WOW!!!! another fantastic build!! Thank you
Thank you Bruce! Have a super week!
That knife is awesome.
Thank you! The sheath video launches on Sunday morning!
Amazing!
Everyone misses you!
Beautiful work!
I'm working on mammoth scales for a Buck Kalinga (Large knife). The smell from grinding is horrendous! The finished product will be amazing. I hope!
Been watching, can't wait to see the finished knife...
Part 4 is the scabbard!
For future reference lead pencil on the drill bit helps hardwood to release from the flutes
Interesting! Thank you
@@Aleeknives no worries we don't seem to have much softwood in Australia lol
It was very nice bro. The patterns of the hilt are great. Excellent workmanship. Health to your hands 👏🙌
Thank you! Health to your hands also! The sheath video is next!
@@Aleeknives Thanks bro. I will watch his next videos. 👌👍
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning...
Thank you R Roberts!
That handle looks so cooool! The knife turned out amazing! That hamon line really highlights everything. 10 out of 10 buddy!
Thanks man! Are you going to make a comeback?
Maybe... Already working on one project...
Awesome!
Aaron you killed it again that knife is breath taking man i hope one day i can put together something that beautiful well done bro
Man big thanks for that!
Great work. Could you tell us more about working with a bolster(guard) hole for this blade profile?
Sure can! I will be doing another one soon! My next katana will have a similar guard! Thanks for watching
Love the video gorgeous knife and handle speaking about the handle exactly what did you butter it with before you buffed it and what was the cloth you use
I used mothers polish and a shop rag. Nothing fancy! Thanks for watching!
Embrace the STINK!!!! :)
Ya no joke!
There is a contrast and symmetry going on with that handle at the same time and it's striking as hell. What a fine build, Al. It almost looks like it needs a similar wooden scabbard thing like some of those high end Japanese blades.
🤣🤣 I launched the video of making the fancy wooden scabbard today! Thank you for the compliments!
What was the buffing done with? Knife looks amazing
Mothers polish
Killer job! Where do you buy your mammoth tusk from?
This tusk came from a vendor in russia
Have you ever made a bone knife? Like, a knife of of, Bone?
Like, Very, Very, old Bone?
Not yet but I can only imagine how bad that would smell while grinding! Driving to mammoth tusk was super enjoyable🤣😖
The knife came out lovely.
What's the purpose of the golf ball on your sanding block at 7:39? Is it to help visualize changes in angles or something like that?
Actually there are 2 golf balls and they are for comfort! It makes a real nice handle!
@@Aleeknives I see. Thanks for the idea.
Absolutely!
Gorgeous! What were you using to polish the handle? Was polishing cloth a special material? I cannot build as fast as you are posting. But I am learning and applying your teachings, hints and suggestions. Thanks again for all the help and videos. God bless.
I was using mothers polish with a regular shop rag. I use mothers on a lot of motorcycle parts and found it works great on hard woods also!
It's more like a Leukublade.
Kan yo anser mi on the combat knife katana ???
Yes, thanks for watching
