Hi! I stumbled upon your videos recently, and have been overjoyed to discover older puukkos, and the way you present them, along with newer ones, is very interesting, from the perspective of a man that doesn't have much occasions to see older traditional knives (I am French). Very refreshing content (with all that it means)! Stay safe, and keep going!

Awesome knives !! Thanks Tim 😊

nice - I missed this when you released it. Man - if they made a convex like that today it would be worth buying for sure, or even a flat that you could just convex the edge on.

Thanks for this nice little explanation of Marttiini Leuku's. I learned something new today. 👍Take care and Cheers!

I haven’t buy Marttiini knives for decades really, but the many Marttiinis I bought in the 90s (including a Leuku) saw lots lots of work, and abuse and held very nicely. So in that sense no bad thing to say of the company, but dont know whats the current quality. Thanx for the comparison Tim! Good stuff!! 🌲🌲🔪🌲🌲

I love the engravings on tje sheaths and the blades, they add so much character to the knife. I always enjoy your videos.

Wonderful details there Tim bro !!.. beautiful work !! Have an awesome weekend my friend !! Cheers and big pats for Unni !! 🐾🐾

Another great video. Fascinating topic. Cheers.

I love the Marttiini brand, they do produce something special 😊

Really interesting comparison. Thanks for posting. Each grind has its benefits.

Beautiful knives! Great vid Sir 💪

Wow! Looks really nice!

Really like the handle that oval shape really fits the hand good.

Thats super cool thanks for sharing... I remember reading the ScandiVex is the true Scandi Because wayy back when it was very hard to get a full flat scandi more often then not they were Scandi Vex

Really appreciate you sharing your experiences. Here in southern Oregon the geese are flying south, the small birds are traveling through to warmer places, and the Turkey Vultures are gathering just north of our pass to cross over down to warmer weather too. Best wishes for a good winter.

Really great luekuing knives!!! (See what I did there?!?) Lol! It's interesting to me to learn about the different grinds they used to use. Who knew?

Good looking knives, thanks for sharing, God bless !

Hi Tim 😁 very nice knives, thanks for letting us see them . I hope your keeping well, and no doubt you'll be sorting your gear out for the coming winter. Look after yourself mate, stay safe, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

Quite interesting. I remember having bought a small Marttiini leuku and was full convex. I was very young 12/13, end of 70', and could not image how to sharpen it. Do not know why the 260 size is discontinued, now you can buy only the 250.

I have one ,,my to go knife,,or atleast favorite,, bought mine in the early 90's.

Great comparison,, I much prefer the convex grind to a scandi grind,, lovely to see both side by side tho', 👍🔪🔪

Two excellent blades. I wouldn't know which one I would pick, the convex vs the scandi, humm. Nice knives Tim.

It's interesting that the older version Marttiini has a convex. I have several Finnish made leukus and love them, but was not impressed with the performance of my Stromeng. I put a rather low angle convex, close to what's on am Erapuu, and it's just amazing. It's still quite durable and has improved chopping and slicing performance. Maybe it's confirmation bias on my part, but I can see why folks might have preferred this in the past.

Whats the reason from the switch away from Convex? I would much prefer that over a scandi grind Leuku

I tend to use a puukko/axe combo myself so never really got around to shelling out on a 'big bastard' knife. These do tempt me though..... I suppose a convex on a primarily hacking tool makes sense for a robust edge! Cheers mate!

Excellent, Tim! Why do you think they changed to a Scandi grind?

I read before that the handles come lose on them

I think convex grind would be better for large knife like this. Shame they all pretty much the same now

Maybe the older one became convex for the stropping. If we strop enough times a scandi grind it eventually becomes a convex grind. I don't know, I am just conjecturing a possibility.

Did the Stromeng knives ever had a convex grind?

May I ask do you prefer the scandi or convex for the Leuku?

The convex grind is much better.

I have 2 of the older knifes I ate the leather carry bit for some reason how do I replace it? No I'm not joking

Good knives. But your puukkos are better!

Kitschy engravings. I do not like Martinii knives. I have an eräpuu without engravings.
