Man i wish you were still making videos. Very good.

Kiitos Marcus, greetings from the "Finnish Triangle", NE Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Upper Peninsula Michigan USA. Respect.

Thx for sharing a true classic

Love the history behind these!! Thanks for sharing!

Just now found your page and I wish you were still doing videos as the knowledge you share with us is priceless!

This so nice to watch. I am very happy to see that Nordic traditions and especially craftsmanship is preserved. Please do more videos.

Fantastic! I enjoy seeing the skills our ancestors used to help us get here. Its sad and unfortunate that we are forgetting them but I'm grateful for the few that keep these skills alive and available for we who also want to help keep them alive. Thank you.

This is excellent! thank you for sharing this.

Cool to see those old "Maasepän puukko" style pukkos on KZfaq. And also to learn more about birch bark sheaths! Cool video !

Very cool. You did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Hello Marcus, Its a real treat to see these older skills. I am based in the UK, I grow up on a farm in the late fifties and by the seventies most if not all of the field skills had been replaced by machines. Interesting, there is a growing passion to restore them or at lest hold on to the ones we can find. In the mind seventies, I went to Canada three times, living for a short time in the Boreal Forest, with the Ojibwa and Cree. These people have held on to their forest skills. I feel there's a great need to try and keep some of these techniques alive. Take care and enjoy what you have.

Excellent vids on this channel! Would like to see more of them!

Grymma videos! Jag lär mig så mycket från dina filmer och blir väldigt inspirerad också! Jag hoppas du gör fler! :)

I enjoy the skills your sharing with us

Excellent craftmanship! Excellent video. Kiitos Marcus.

This video was really great and informative

Wow, that's nice. I like it.

hieno, i really liked that Thank you for showing

excellent...thank you

Very nicely done!

enjoyed the video. thanks

Hi Marcus, where have you disappeared, I often go to review your old videos and wait for new ones to appear. Maybe you have a Facebook or Instagram account or somewhere else where you share your knowledge?

Epic job

Very Kool!

This is amazing Marcus. I know what I'll do for my next sheath! Good work!

Красота! Молодец!

HEJ! ZNAKOMITE! EXCELLANCE! SUPER! thanks!

Hieno on. I have to try this one day.

I love it

Outstanding! I see some excellent Sami bows in your videos, when you do some bow vids?

The music at the was beautiful! Where can I find more of it?

Thanks for doing this video. I am going to try this but using strips of leather instead of bark (not a lot of available birch around here!)

Great

I'm following along with thin corrugated cardboard from a box of wine, cut so the corrugations approximate the grain of bark. It makes a serviceable sheath, but I doubt it would be as durable as birch bark

Absolutly amazing... Great work Marcus. Greetings from Poland.

Good work Marcus, I have not seen this style of weaving before. I have one leuku with a plaited/ braided sheath. This one you demonstrated appears more difficult. Can the bark be soaked before weaving?

I think something got lost in the narrative but the end product is amazing keep the vids coming - ATB

Can you recommend a good book on how to do the different weaving patterns for this knife sheath?

Just came across this video! I really enjoyed watching it! How did you finish the bottom of the sheath? The music was beautiful also! I love it!

" SKÄRI " is still used in/ near archipelago, Finland .............

I wished to see how to sew the tail end of that sheath...

So, the wood sheath part is just one side?

Will wetting the bark soften it during the braiding process as with rawhide? It may make the process of braiding easier. With rawhide we work it while wet, let it dry then add a “dressing” (could be oil based) that gives it a suppleness and prevents water absorbing to a degree. Nice work.

моё тебе уважение мужик

Не слова не понял, но принцип понятен. Спасибо за видео

Doesn't it help if you soak it in warm water?

Can you please tell me the name of the song at the very start?

Now to let it age for 100 years so it can have the nice antique finish to it.

Clear as mud.
