I really need to go to Finland and do some knife shopping!!! Awesome thanks brother, thanks for showing me some of your collection and giving some knife history

In terms of design, Tapio Wirkkala's puukko is by far the most beautiful of them all.

awesome puukko collection 😊 you are living the dream!

Thanks for this informative and entertaining video. Good to see these puukkos that have been well used, but cared for, by their proud owners.

A really interesting knife collection, fascinating to see all the different sheath designs and handle designs. Really awesome. 💯❤🤔

I find it wonderful that these old knives have passed on to a new generation, to be cared for again by a new appreciative owner, it is what they were made for. well done. Very much enjoying your videos. C.

These are all amazing and I love the various shades of the wood .... interesting to hear about the antler too and the sleeves look awesome. I love the one with the swirled handle too. Very unique. The birch sure does look good. Very interesting about the cultures too. Good solid knives

Thanks. Nice video. I love to restore old Scandinavian, European and American knives 🔪🎸

I love those Finish puukko knives. You are a great reference for the puukko style knives and I enjoy the reviews that you have on them!

Nice collection of Puukkos Tim. Great video. Now I'll be looking through flea markets and here in Canada we also have yard sales during the summer, time to hunt for some Puukkos.

New Sub bro , love Puukko love Lappland , Great to see the Older knives ! Cheers from Atlantic Canada ! ;:;: Spook

Great video! I definitely want to add a Finnish made knife, or two....maybe three or four, to my collection. You have some beautiful knives, thanks for sharing.

Excellent stuff. I find it interesting how you're right there in the land of the Suomi and showcasing some of their tools of the woodsman's trade. Super show-&-tell of some of the blades in your collection as well. I've been adding a few working and using (and typical soldier's) knives of various places I've lived and served in (mostly in Europe) for many years, many of them since I used to move about with assignments in the military before the Wall came down. None are showpieces or crazy-expensive, barely-touched works of art, and I prefer it that way. What use is a tool if you never use it? I've only just now started to collect Finnish working knives and you've inspired me to keep at it. I practically grew up in the woods as a boy (northern Michigan, USA) and your locations and the skills you're sharing are very similar, 'old school', and familiar to me. I very much enjoy your channel. Ever so many more 'soft-handers' could learn from the sorts of basic essentials you're sharing. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

The first knife you show, is like a fixed blade Opinel !!!

Really enjoy your channel and the information is very interesting and I truly love the Pukko they have been my go to knifes we out camping and canoeing 🛶 subscription was easy for your channel stay safe mate Cheers from Colorado USA.

Interesting video cheers ,I have just ordered a set of wood jewel duo puukos cant wait to try them

The stacked birch bark is so pretty....Wow.

Like Rod said too, I need to get there and do some knife shopping also Lol! I would probly come home in debt though haha. Great feather sticking Tim, You make it look so simple lol. And an awesome collection of knives mate!! Have a great upcoming week Tim

I don’t know much about knives from Finland but they all look fantastic. I really love simple knives that just flat out work. Thanks for showing us some of your collection.

I don't know how many knife producers were inspired by Tapio Wirkkala, but it seems to me that Cold Steel surely was with its Finn Bear, especially the handle.

You found that one under the building? Any idea how long it had been there. I don't own many knives, and I keep the collection small, but this is a lovely "heritage collection," and it's making me think I need a vintage puukko.

Very interesting! I've seen some very similar blades in my life. Good old knives. 👍🏻🇨🇦

Great video! Very interesting my friend! Nice that you showed the traditional stuff and the newer ones. I’m very interested in the Peltonen. I watched all the videos. What your thoughts on the rokka?

Man that's a mini mountain of beautiful hand crafted blades haha such an epic collection!! All I have is mostly production and a few handmade but nothing with such history and heirloom quality!!(=✌💚

Does anyone make a cheaper version of the Tapia Wirkala? It is indeed a desirable knife design to me. But here in Kentucky no one hardly knows of these knives from what I've seen. I've kinda only become aware of these almost by accident even after years of knife collecting! Great upload!

I've been really curious about the various sheath designs for knives of that region, particularly the ones with the fishtails or curvature. I can't seem to find much information about the origin and purpose of them. It seems like they're inspired by the original bone or antler sheaths. I've also wondered why some of them have metal reinforcements around certain parts of the sheaths. Do you know where I might find more information about this?

Cheers from Laihia!

Excelente. Ya no se si me gustan más tus vídeos en inglés o en castellano . Suerte con tus dos canales un placer siempre ver tus vídeos. Disfruta del invierno y las auroras voreales

Nice collection Tim I enjoyed the video. Despite what some people say about "rat tail tang" knives, I've never had one break or loosen up on me. Not saying you can use them as a chopper but I love them as a general camp/outdoors knife and I try very hard to keep a true scandi grind on mine. I think the Finns got it right so why change it!

My father has a nice old puukko that was passed down in my family

I have 4 tapios. I've had them for years when you could get them for £70 off ebay. Used to be listed as Hackman Air pilots boot knife. I have to say that I love them! The stainless blades don't bother me and are easily sharpened on a strope (if the edges are OK to begin with). They have held up over the years. 2 are used and 2 have not been used. The price of them now is totally crazy! I keep looking at getting the Rokka Korpisoturi knife but the shipping and taxes to the UK are like £80! So I'm still thinking about it. Great video buddy. Keep it up! 👍

Nice video, i already bought the Peltonen M95 after i have seen your review. Now i really want to buy a finnish knife or 2 with a handle in birch. The big question is carbon blade or stainless...i will see. I really appreciate the authenticity of your reviews, the nature is amazing. Take care 👍

Привет! Отличная коллекция рабочих ножей, сделанных профессионально и прослуживших не одно десятилетие! И ещё долго будут радовать владельца! Здоровья и удачи!

It's a pity we can't find nice traditional Finnish knives second hand in the Uk

Some links would be nice Tim. Atleast the proper spelling for us to search for products. Love the collection mate. Gotra love a puuko. That skinny one with the long ferule. Not sure how to spell that in the wood stabbed in next to two others. That one on the left is beautful. To be honest theres 4 or 5 there which are equally nice. Thanks for posting. You have the finnish language nailed to a tee. Spot on.takes a bit of getting the head around for a kiwi bloke down under. But i am trying brother. Thanks for posting . Jas frm nz.🌏🙂👍👏👏👏👏👏

All the old blades with that "blood groove" come from Kauhava. The blade shape used to be regional trademark. Like the different Billnäs axe shapes. Iisakki Järvenpää used to be the master blacksmith there. But there was several others too. I haven't tracked down the names. The name in the blade means that it was inspected by that person. But in reality there was many different people that made one part of the puukko. Usually the blade was made by one person, "Hela or helahoito" was made by other, handle was assembled by other, the leather work was made by other and so on. Those were the last true craftsmanship here in Finland. But they are still way more inferior to the originals and they are based on much older designs. Steel used to be very rare and expensive. The very old blades were only like 1 to 1.5cm wide originally. So the "blood groove" was originally used to make the blade stronger. It gives more surface area and more tension to the spine. Every part of the puukko used to have reason why it existed. For example the birch bark and leather stacked on the handle makes it flexible and you can get much more better feel of the blade when using it. The part between the blade and handle prevented warping. The end of the handle wasn't a knob or horse head etc. The end of the handle should be shaped according to left or right hand. This was usually left for the customer to do by them self if it wasn't custom order.

Good video! Sadly the Bröderna Johnsson factory was severely damaged by a fire last year, so there wont be any more made.😢

I think my inner-child needs a scout knife.

I like the profile of the brothers Jonsson of all the Mora types, of which I have a number of, also my collection of Fiskars includes your knife minus the original sheath. I sold a number of different sized Jaarvenpa knives to a chef last year. My interest is the Leuku you showed in one of your first videos I observed. How do I buy one ? Grizz 🐻....p.s. nice chatting with you !🙃

I got a question. Got for my birthday puukko style knife, marttiini lynx 121. Blade is on the smaller size but I don't mind it one bit, the issue is the handle. It seems small. I checked online and all other lynx knives have pretty much the same length of handle. Is this typical and normal for all puukkos? Or should I reconsider using this, for the fear of sliping my finger/thumb over the blade? (My grip encompasses entire handle and the brass, all up until the blade. With a bit of thumb hanging in the air above the brass part.)

Yo, thanks for your upload, i was wondering if you knew what knife mine was ? i could whats app you a pic of it if you dont mind ?Its a Puukko knife, them symbol is like a dunlop logo "D", but a "P". Thanks in advance :)

I have a puokko that I bought at a gun show here in Minnesota years ago. I can barely make out the inscription on the blade, Something....paa. Who is the common manufacturer of these knives? you said, but I couldn't hear it clearly because of your accent. Thanks

That kids' knife is cool

What is the size of a real blade traditional puukko? 95mm? 105mm? 125mm? Thank you good video

Watching this video for the 10th time I began to wonder-----do knives have a kind of soul? Like a ship?

They have found a norwegian seax with a fishtail from the 13th century

Käteviä puukkoja 🇫🇮

hello jimmy how you been doing good i hope old chap

The one that you started the video with, a lot of the old Fiskars ones were like that. They are brilliant! And the handforged 1960s ones that you talk about, are they old Puronvarsis? They look like that. Even Puronvarsis old ones were rhombic. I just love the elegance, robustness, and sharpness of his blades. Another league altogether.

What’s a Fillehh knife??

What’s a scouser doing in Finland?!
