Great video and beautiful puukkos! The puukkos are kind of important a part of Finnish culture. Already starting from the myths (Kalevala etc.) even many presidents wearing/and using them a lot. Most notably Urho Kekkonen wearing a Puukko on his belt very often, even in the Presidental ˋpalaceˋ (he made the Tommi Puukkos famous). Thanx for the video! And cheers from a fellow outdoorsman/knife enthusiast/youtuber from the village of Fiskars, Finland!

When a person graduates from beginner knives they mature into the Finish Puukko! I prefer the Bark River Puukko in 3v!

Great explaining I agree with you and had to go through the same process, my first serious bushcraft tools were ESEEs, very good knives, bulky, poweful. At the time I only went by full exposed tang. Things ahve changed and the further I go, the more I like smaller knives, and I just adore puukkos

I just found your channel today and have to say that your content is top notch! I also started with a bigger survival blade and nowadays tend to use my trusted Mora 510 for most tasks. It cost me about 8$ so I ordered a few of them for my friends cause it is just that good. But that M4 looks even better, got to have to get one someday.

Its great to see somebody on the other side of the world appreciate our Finlanders knife heritage, and yes puukko is style of knife its confusing to even many finns who actually call even kitchen knives puukko 🤦♂. I haven't gotten into PM puukkos yet but for the past 10 years or so have allmost exclusively used 80crV2 puukko's for wood work, allso puukko has throughout history been used for everything not just woodcarving and sometimes when you see old and well used puukkos they dont look like "scandi grind" at all anymore and from my understanding especially hunters preferred to sharpen their puukko's into more of an convexed shape. Our country's turning 100 years in few weeks 🤔 Hmmm sounds like the perfect excuse to get a new (pm)? Puukko to celebrate Independence 😂👍

@jmarsh667 6 жыл бұрын

I think M4 has the perfect toughness but with very high wear resistance, as well as amazing hardness when ran hard like 64-66hrc. It's hard enough to really resist deformation and have great edge stability and wear resistance with enough corrosion resistance to be perfect for me.

Hey BBB, would you prefer a micarta, stabilized wood or stacked birch handle for long carving work. I usually use micarta or the rubberized mora handles and have no experience with stabilized wood or stacked birch, could you describe what these handles feel like in comparison to micarta and rubber. I guess stabilzed wood is more like micarta and stacked bark has more give to it. Thanks in abvance.

@johnhuynh9298 7 жыл бұрын

Really awesome and very well though out. The knife is beautiful, the grind looks super aggressive, no doubt that is a high performance cutting tool. Would love to have that knife in my hands. Knowing me, most likely I would remove the microbevel and if it fails, I would put back a new one lol.

Best choice Shawn! Most big knives are only good for show, they have not come from a history of living in the bush or making detailed work. Get skilled with the Puukko and you will see the benefits. Puukko and axe is the best combo. I am interested in the M4 steel, but I have several good carbon blades, Puronvarsi and Lammi (Silver Steel) and Kankaanaan (not sure what grade steel, but holds a Hellish edge).

@FearNoSteel 7 жыл бұрын

Axes and Puukkos my favorite combination. The M4 steel has great edge holding but it doesn't have the ductility or ease of sharpening like the carbon steel. Yet the carbon steel simply doesn't have the edge strength and wear resistance. I think the first thing you notice with m4 on wood is the ferocity of the cutting. It's fun stuff. Currently there isn't anymore available. But there will be another patch later

@redcanoe14 7 жыл бұрын

Look at 80CRV2 (what the Terava Skrama chopping Knife is made of) I have one and it takes a beating, yet will still shave feather sticks well and slice paper after much use, no edge folding or chipping. I also make knives of L6 this is tough and flexible enough for a knife. The Finns and Sami People have used knives for a living for centuries, their Carbon steels are very well suited and evolved from their work needs. I have Sami Ancestry and I know that their large chopping knives (similar to leuku) have been used to chop Reindeer bones to extract marrow and used to chop very hard arctic birch. I have a couple of knives over 100 years old and although beaten up are still functional and razor sharp. Knives should be made of steel that is primarily effective for slicing/cutting, they are not primarily pry-bars, neither are they axes. The purpose of and forces exacted on an axe are very different to a knife. Other than Swedish and Finnish laminated stainless blades I am not a big fan of stainless, 40 of 43 of my knives are carbon and I don't have any that are rusted away, I look after them and they all have had use.

@FearNoSteel 7 жыл бұрын

Woodsman Spirit that's awesome! Thanks for sharing! 80crv2 is great carbon steel. It can take a working hardness of 62hrc yet still have a great ratio of strength and ductility. I love carbon steels but as a knife sharpener I enjoy the increased edge holding that carbon tool steel has to offer.

@mattruth7109 4 жыл бұрын

The reason our current options for stainless blade steels suck ass is because the chromium can't form an oxide layer if it forms a carbide, and pure chromium isn't very strong compared to cementite (iron carbide), so the edge just rolls. I'm currently designing a stainless that doesn't suck, but is still corrosion resistant.

It is kinda like katana is actually just one word for sword in japanese. We usually say puukko when we are talking about traditional knife, but it can mean others as well. Word veitsi is for different type of knifes. Like for example "keittiöveitsi" kitchen knife.

No sorry; carbon 1095 type steels are all I want or need. Part of knife craft is knowing how to sharpen and maintain your knife. I actually enjoy sharpening my knives in the field, camping or whatever. For whatever reason super steels usually covert into a significant increase in price and is not worth it to me. I have a fixed blade Case hunting knife that is pushing 80 years old, which has been handed down for three generations. It has not been babied over the years and has processed more wild game than I can count; it still holds a razor sharp edge to this day and is easy and fast to sharpen if you know how.
