I’ve watched your videos for some time now and i just want to say how wonderful it is to watch such a skilled craftsman at work. The guitar music combined with your skill in your videos is wonderfully relaxing. Thank you for keeping me entertained through some hard times.😊👍
Mikko, it is always a pleasure to watch your videos. But I am especially pleased to see how old tools are coming to a new life under your skilled hands. 🛠️👌🏻👍🏻
Totally and Completely Brilliant Mate Bravo 👏 That’s was one of the most interesting and incredible Videos of Craftsmanship! I’ve watched in A Very Long Time! Thank You so much for sharing your Skills with the rest of the world. From: Rod
That was amazing! You are soooo talented. My first time watching. What a bright spot in my day! Many thanks for all your efforts and for sharing what is clearly your passion.
I really love this channel. Many times I watch videos of beautiful work and I end up finding in those videos techniques that I had searched for years. Realmente amo este canal. Muchas veces veo videos de hermosos trabajos y termino encontrando en dichos videos técnicas que había buscado por años.
Ok be honest how many of you thought he glued cloth on to the knife handle from the thumb nail. That is an amazing handle cover really nice job thanks for sharing 👍
@@mikkosnellman When I was thirteen years old and got our local Fishery school, our skipper told us - ordered us - to start carrying a knife on our person...for the rest of our life - " as it will save our life more then one can imagine "... . He also made us sharpen our knives every time we entered the ' knitting room ' ( where we learned all the hands-on seamanship: knots & stiches, making nets ' knitting ' and repairing them ), but we could only sharpen them on sandpaper for wood. Only then were we allowed to start our work. Still carry a knife on my person, in fact, I carry three on me on average. Imagine carrying one - three knives into a classroom these days... ha !!!
Mikko it's almost hypnotizing when i watch your videos,and regret how late in life it is for me and to see just how much i don't know about the things in life i have always been interested in meaning your skills in woodwork and of course your rope making and what seems a endless knowledge of every knot,if it's not to personal could you tell me where you live meaning country ,i hope you and your family are healthy and safe with what is going on in the world at the time all the best ⛵⚓🧭 🛠️
Thank you for the kind words. I am no youngster myself but feel that there is something new to learn every day! We are OK, living out on the countryside of Finland.
Jaw dropped a bit...have the same knife hanging on my belt for the last 3yrs..EDC..my sheath has the formed belt loop.. found a couple of the kind you had w the riveted loop..looked the same way after a few months torn and pulled out..and of course the broken ones don't fit the other kind. I don't think my sheaths will come out as yours did... Beautiful job... expected nothing less... Cheers N.Ont CA.
I love the work, I to can restore and create old world sailor items, I love to watch a master work. Have a question though do you ever sell any of the things you restore or make?
My father was a ship's rigger (says so on my birth certificate) and worked on the refit of the Cutty Sark in the 1950's. He died when I was young so missed out on learning his skills from his life at sea. I made up for it by joining the Royal Marines.

Fantastic work, I love the adaption of tools to new uses. I’ve been trying to figure out what the stitched/crocheted wrap on the handle is called to try and learn it myself but I have no idea what to even look for. Does that method have a name?
Kaunis puukko todella. Harmi että poistit patinan terästä sillä se tuo esineelle tarinan. Mutta taidokasta työtä joka tapauksessa. Beatiful work! Shame that you decided to remove the patina from the blade, as it tells a story of the knife. But great job anywho.
no grog noggin handy? No long pipe stem and tobacco pouch about ye ? Where is the flint n steel or match safe matey ? The sea bag and the samll abgs are very nice also
Interesting comment. Can you explain?I have an interest in superstitions . My father in law grew up in a rural setting in post revolutionary Russia and he had many dos and donts relating to daily objects that went back centuries .If you would like to share .
Truly masterful magnificence! Could you perhaps do a video more fully elaborating the process of how you made the sewn/stitched handle, I dont see any other videos on it and finding it online fruitions little success. Thank you for the content!
Tjena! Grymt fint arbete du gör! Jag måste bara fråga vad heter tekniken som du syr runt kniven och var eller hur kan man lära sig det? Vad kallad den? Hi just have to ask, what is the stitching technique you use around the knife and how can I learn it? What is it called?
I wanted to have a quick look and here I am hypnotized by your craftsmanship....fantastic once again Mikko.
I start watching the magic you perform and can’t look away until you finish. Spellbinding, is the word 🙏

I admire your work because you always stay in the "sailor" spirit ... and share it with as many people as possible, a magnificent thing in our time!
Sharing is more fun than receiving!
It’s simply so very beautiful….watching your hands is mesmerizing….and a new life begins for these beautiful tools. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.

The music is beautiful, the same as this work.
Good video. The screwdriver especially. I used a bigger one, but built the same, when I was an Army combat engineer in Vietnam 50 years ago.
Another beautiful labor of love, Mikko. Functional art, sir. Well done.
Thanks Chris. You can never have too many knives, can you? :)

Welcome!
Great work, I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.
Real pleasure to watch your videos, thanx for take your time to share your kwoledge and experience 😀👍✌👋👋
As long as someone finds them useful, it is fun!
I Would have loved to have that back when I was in the Coast Guard back in 1980. It would have been the envy of all the guys on the ship.
You are a master. I love your creations
Beautiful knife! Clean lines, no nonsense blade. I could have used this knife when I got fouled in a mast line last year.
Yes, Mora knives are real workhorses!
Love it! Such a beautiful knife and sheath. This got me inspired, I have tons of old mora knifes and screw drivers! :D
Jaw dropped a bit...have the same knife hanging on my belt for the last 3yrs..EDC..my sheath has the formed belt loop.. found a couple of the kind you had w the riveted loop..looked the same way after a few months torn and pulled out..and of course the broken ones don't fit the other kind.
I don't think my sheaths will come out as yours did...

Just go for it, it will be yours!
Beautiful work ! 👏👏👏
I love the work, I to can restore and create old world sailor items, I love to watch a master work. Have a question though do you ever sell any of the things you restore or make?
Yes I do, all of them. Mostly to order and the more special items I auction. Follow my website www.snellman.ax for updates.
Mesmerizing.
Really like that. You really did a outstanding job. I really like your attention to detail an the weave really set it off.
Thank you. Though we knot tyers call it hitching, not weave ;)
@@mikkosnellman always good to learn new terminology. Makes me sound like I know more then I do. Lol
Splendid !
My man.. such talent.
Marlin spike is the word. Nicely done.
The cordage??? Sweet.

thats really nice bud for sure it is fine
You are a true artist, Mikko 👍🏻
Just a handcrafter, thanks.

Normally I save the patina but this one was badly scratched with grinder.
Wonderful oldschool marlin spike
How cool is that
Wow!👍
Awesome repurposing man, and the music!,,,,,, fantastic
And thank you so much for the ideas
@@greenchiliforge1059 Thank you. Look tallstrom.com/ for music.
Skill, knowledge a nice piece of work.
Insane!
Очень красивое исполнение. Мне очень понравилось.

Just found this channel 👍🇬🇧 subscribed.
Thanks!
A true craftsman!
Thank you.
P.s. The Ashley Book of Knots.... where I picked up my knowledge about cordage .... a pretty great compilation of knots etc.
Yes, Ashley´s is my go to for guidance.

That Emcostar is a neat machine!
Yes, a neat little thing.
What I like it the most is when he "poisoned" the blade spitting on it .
Interesting comment. Can you explain?I have an interest in superstitions . My father in law grew up in a rural setting in post revolutionary Russia and he had many dos and donts relating to daily objects that went back centuries .If you would like to share .
Tosi hieno! Sinulla on taito hyppysissä! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮
Kiitokset, yritän parhaani!
Amazing Work it was a pleasure to watch you work . Does anyone know where I can learn the method used for the knife handle wrap?

Kaunista työtä.
Thank you.
👏👏👏
Could you do a video on making a knife sheath? Love your videos they are so clear to follow thanks.
Have to think about that with next knife.
Hello this is not work❤ This is good music😊 thank you for you Friends
Magnifique résultat .
Excelent !!!
Tjena! Grymt fint arbete du gör! Jag måste bara fråga vad heter tekniken som du syr runt kniven och var eller hur kan man lära sig det? Vad kallad den?
Hi just have to ask, what is the stitching technique you use around the knife and how can I learn it? What is it called?
Hej. På engelska heter det "needle hitching". Här har du en exempel hur man gör. ruclips.net/video/RGWDBrK7tXk/видео.html
I want to make something like this and was wondering where you got the screw driver
Found the screwdriver at garage sale.
Bravo Sir
:D)
Класс! 😊
could you provide the name of the music, player etc, excellent choice
Martin Tallström, great artist. www.tallstrom.com
Did not see you dipping blade in water whilst grinding the blade to keep the temper🤔 also left the blade a bit rough🤔
Not every detail is in the video, don´t worry. I didn´t want too polished finish, just working condition, since this is an old blade.
@@mikkosnellman great thanks👍
What is the weaving called that you are doing on the puukko knife?
That is what we knot tyers call needle hitching.
What is the techniques name he used when he covered the handle in cord?

Det synns du är en mästare med verktygen, det blev en enormt fin kniv! EMCO är en bra maskin vi hade en sån när jag växte upp.
Tackar! EMCO är just passlig till sådana här småjobb.
