Couple days ago i found traditional Tommi puukko from a forest when we were picking lingonberries. I just had to grind the rusts off the blade, clean the sheath and make a new handle. It was my first time to use birchbark as a handle material and it feels a lot better in a hand than wood. More soft and grippy. I prefer traditional rat tail tangs on puukko style knifes which go through the handle and is locked to brass plate. Looks better and is more durable.
awesome video mirka sandpaper is great what kind is that you are using in video 10:05 almost like emery cloth but in sheets what is that called cant find it online thanks would like to buy some
Good clear process - I make my blades from spent farriers-rasps and follow a similar method. two minor things, putting a micro-bevel on a skandi-grind makes an easy to hone blade, trickier to sharpen. Also I find creating a 'fish tail' at the termination of the sheath gives a more traditional line. Apart from that, lovely attention to polishing and presentation :-)
Thanks! Because I was and still pretty much am just a poor teen in a tiny home workshop and angle grinder is much cheaper. Nowadays I do have a bandsaw for wood though. Someday I will buy a bandsaw for metals also
I use 40 grit for shaping and when I have maybe a little under a millimeter thick edge I switch to 120 grit to finish it. and I heat treat with maybe about half a millimeter thick edge. After heat treating use 120 grit and grind it with about 30 degree angle, but this obviously depends on the use of the knife.
hi good job i can see you had some problems with leather on the tip but good however 2 things (one is question) 1 you shouldnt sharpen knife before finishing it (keep your fingers safe 2 why heat threting 2 times? have you normalized blade ?
It was much easier to sharpen the knife before I made the handle because blade goes all the way next to the guard. (and i don't really care if i cut my finger a little bit) And I didn't heat treat it twice, I preheated the oil with a piece of scrap steel. Warm oil actually cools the blade quicker and makes it harder.
ok ok i though it is your knife not old file ;) it is very good i know that when you heat treat in oil it should be warm. you should care about your fingers becouse they let you make such nice knifes
Does the epoxy actually fill the errors in the hole made for the tang? Can't believe that you managed a perfect fit with tang and wood. Thank you, great video.
Steven Littleton thanks! I used beeswax which also works pretty well. I cant remember but I probably didn't have any oil. Nowadays I always oil all my handles with danish oil.
Thanks! I'm sorry but this was a christmas present to my parents but i'm gonna make alot more knives and im planning to start selling them and maybe slingshots too.
I guess you mean my grinding jig because I sharpened the blade without any jigs(for this kind of knife the sharpening angle is fairly steep). I just eyeballed the grinding angle so I don't know it either.
I love both the knife and sheath. It's a great video. The only thing I'm consider to put on the guide on the knife. I think it will be more safe to handle the knife to protect my hand.
Kiitti! Mulla loppu nahka kesken ni sinne tupen kärkeen jäi aivan valtava aukko jonka päätin sitte täyttää epoksilla että olis ees vähän paremman näköne. vaikka tuli tosta tupesta silti joka tavalla tosi ruma. ;)
Puukoissahan kuuluis perinteisesti olla tasaviisteinen (flat grind) terä eikä tuplaviisteellä (Double edge grind). Joku mainitsikin kommenteissa jo tuon viisteen korkeuden ja luin vastauksesi ja pitää sanoa, että näitä sattuu, onneks et heittäny roskiin kuitenkaan, komia puukkohan tuosta tuli kuitenki.
very nice crafts! im just going to correct one thing, here in finland, veitsi is the word for a knife....puukko is puukko. In the videos title you got it right, puukko is a knife, but just any knife is not a puukko.
Kiitti! juu suomalaisena tiiän tuon toki mutta en oo miettiny videon nimeä kovin tarkasti. mutta hyvä ku huomautit ni mäpäs otan tuon knife sanan tuosta pois niin voisha se kuulostaa vähä paremmalta!
Stunning work friend But one thing: _veitsi_ is a more literal translation to knife, while _puukko_ comes from the german word _puuk_ which means tool.

I cannot really talking in english language but i have to try ..and i want to know about temperaturing the blade ...can anyone explain to me about that ..tq
Do you mean heat treating? Heat treating basic carbon steels is very simple. heat it up to about 800 celsius (it's not very precise) hold it in that temperature for a few minutes and then quench in some oil if the steel is oil hardening steel. Then temper for about 200 celsius for 2 x 2 hours. You can find a lot of information about heat treating by googling it.
The steel I used on this is called O1. Nowadays I use almost always 80CrV2. These steels for example are great for beginners because they are very easy to heat treat.
No it has a v grind. I wanted to make a pretty high scandi grind but i messed it up so I had to make almost full flat grind. When the blade has this high grind some people say its not a puukko some say that it is.
Yes, I've been watching his great videos at least one and a half year. but what do you mean about the sheath? I made it by following a finnish tutorial article.
Ite tilaan puukkotarvikkeita yleensä www.brisa.fi tai www.kivipekat.fi/kauppa/ tai puukot.fi/Shop/ Terään suosittelen käyttämään 80crv2 terästä. Se on hyvin suosittua Suomessa ja tosi helppo karkasta. Karkasuohjeet pitäs löytyä aina sieltä mistä terästä tilaa.
Puun hankin brisa.fi ja teräksen ebaysta. terästä saa kans teräsrengiltä: www.terasrenki.com/tuoteosasto/puukkoteras-teraaihio-pajatarvike/ ja nahkan täältä: www.puukot.fi/

Very Nice. Is the leather wet when forming around the wood and doing the stitching?
Beautiful work! Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Wow! As a Finn I had my first puukko when I was six. Beaaty!
Thats great! Thanks!
I made my first puukko when i was 14 :)

Piece of art. Beautiful 👍👍
Such a relaxing video. Beautiful job thanks for showing us.
You do fine work. I do have one question though. Why a cutting wheel and not a band saw??
Thanks! Because I was and still pretty much am just a poor teen in a tiny home workshop and angle grinder is much cheaper. Nowadays I do have a bandsaw for wood though. Someday I will buy a bandsaw for metals also
@@MLCustomKnives understood. Keep at. I'm sure you will make it. You have the skill. Now just show you have the drive to persevere . Good luck to you.
Отличная работа, но где вы видели финский нож без голомени и с подводом?
Great knife, do you have a link?
what belt are you using to grind the bevels ?
I'm using a cheap 40 grit belt which is probably meant to use only with wood but it works fairly well with steel. and the brand is Mirka
Ok so it doesn't grind too much metal ? When should I use 80 ou 120 grit ?
I use 40 grit for shaping and when I have maybe a little under a millimeter thick edge I switch to 120 grit to finish it. and I heat treat with maybe about half a millimeter thick edge. After heat treating use 120 grit and grind it with about 30 degree angle, but this obviously depends on the use of the knife.
NorthWeapons thanks, I received a little belt sander recently and your answer really help me a lot
No problem!

NorthWeapons thanks for the tip with the hot oil, I'll remember that one!
Good Working, nice Knife, thx for showing this perfect Working!!
Great video, your skills are amazing, very good teaching video, thank you.
Nice work. i love the wood sheat. You gave my a nice idea!
Fantastic knife and music! May I ask what type of wood did you use for the handle?
Thank you
Thanks! Its turkish walnut. Sorry for the late reply
Do u sell them?It’s nice
El cuchillo quedo hermoso y la funda quedó muy buena saludos de chile
Does the epoxy actually fill the errors in the hole made for the tang? Can't believe that you managed a perfect fit with tang and wood. Thank you, great video.
Awesome work! Question though, why did you epoxy over your drainage hole on the sheath?
Thanks! The drainhole was way too big because I didn't have enough leather but I should have left a small hole in the epoxy tho.
Oh ok, makes sense. To be honest, I rarely get my knives soaking wet anyway. Thanks for responding btw.
great knife 🔪 great job you rock enjoyed it.
Very nice. Why not oil the wood?
Steven Littleton thanks! I used beeswax which also works pretty well. I cant remember but I probably didn't have any oil. Nowadays I always oil all my handles with danish oil.
woooow very nice finish.
but i have a question.
is it for sell?
i want this knife (*,*)
Thanks! I'm sorry but this was a christmas present to my parents but i'm gonna make alot more knives and im planning to start selling them and maybe slingshots too.
NorthWeapons nice nice. so please tell us when you start selling your knifs.
È um prazer ver começar e acabar um trabalho assim. Parabéns o pukko está espectacular. Abraço de Portugal
Loooove puukko knives!
Very inspiring to watch you work! Thanks
Spitze!!! 👍👌
what angle is your sharpening jig set at.
I guess you mean my grinding jig because I sharpened the blade without any jigs(for this kind of knife the sharpening angle is fairly steep). I just eyeballed the grinding angle so I don't know it either.
First, wax mastic, and on top of cyanoacrylate? Really? How does it work?
A great build and video, thanks for sharing.
Great work , if this was for sale where would one go to?
Thanks! i'm making a website where i'll sell my knives.
Wow, that is a great knife, good job.
I love both the knife and sheath. It's a great video. The only thing I'm consider to put on the guide on the knife. I think it will be more safe to handle the knife to protect my hand.
Scandinavian knives not for stabbing, but for drawing, so they don't need a guard.
great video. is that bocote wood for the handle? also thumbs up for the game of thrones remix.
nice video bro your skills r getting better.. nice work
Thanks for the kind words!
NorthWeapons SUOMIIIIIII ON PAAAAAAAARAAAAAAS
johhoo
Also love the simplicity ( and availabilty) of your tools. A fork! MacGuyver!
Super Arbeit u.gute Idee mit der Gabel.
Hieno puukko, vähän hämäsi ku porasit ensin puiseen lestiin kuivatusreiän mutta sitten suljit koko tupen kärjen epoksilla, kuis ny ni?
Kiitti! Mulla loppu nahka kesken ni sinne tupen kärkeen jäi aivan valtava aukko jonka päätin sitte täyttää epoksilla että olis ees vähän paremman näköne. vaikka tuli tosta tupesta silti joka tavalla tosi ruma. ;)
For how long did you temper it in the oven?
I don't remember but nowadays i temper in 200c for 2 hours. and that's for 80crv2 steel.
Great idea using a fork to mark the holes! Thanks
Hi! What kind of wood it is? best regards :-)
It's turkish valnut.
what is this music?

Joku mainitsikin kommenteissa jo tuon viisteen korkeuden ja luin vastauksesi ja pitää sanoa, että näitä sattuu, onneks et heittäny roskiin kuitenkaan, komia puukkohan tuosta tuli kuitenki.
Hellstorm1190 kiitti! oon mä itekki iha tyytyväine etten heittäny roskii mutta ens kerralla oon kyllä varovaisempi.
Yes, awesome tutorial.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME!
I'm glad you like it!
Nice work, that's a beautiful knife !
Did you use super glue on the finishing of the handle ? or is it just me ?
Yes, I used super glue. It makes a great finish if you polish it really well! I got the idea from here: th-cam.com/video/BGMfDeW_u2A/w-d-xo.html
I love all of your videos
Thank you!
great work! lovely piece!
Nice work.
Really wish I could make knives myself, but I don't have the tools for it, or the facilities.
How long did it take to make in real time?
I didn't count the hours but I just finished a puukko and a sheath few days ago and it took about 26 hours
Thank you, your work is incredible!
very nice crafts!

super!!!🧡🧡🧡
Did you use super glue on the handle?

where did u get the steel from?
I got it from ebay
aight
Stunning work friend
But one thing: _veitsi_ is a more literal translation to knife, while _puukko_ comes from the german word _puuk_ which means tool.
As far as I know the word "puukko" possibly comes from old saxonian german word "pook" which means a dagger.

Thanks! Of course I don't mind it's not my music everyone can use it. (:
Er du norsk ?

Awesome handle!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Wery nice knife man👍
Thanks!
15:40 < What material is this?
It's just normal wax for leather shoes. And I think it works just fine
NorthWeapons That's kinda what I thought it might be. Thanks!
hello. what steel do you use and where did you buy it?
igorok89 I used o1 steel and I bought it from ebay
thanks
nice job👍👍
I noticed u watch TAOW the way u sharpen knifes and that sheath
Yes, I've been watching his great videos at least one and a half year. but what do you mean about the sheath? I made it by following a finnish tutorial article.
NorthWeapons on hia last vid he did a knife with pliwood (I dont know how to spell it) sheat I comented before I the seen leather part
Hyvät videot ja hyviä vinkkejä puukontekoon.
Mitäpä saisi tilattua tuollasta teräks käypää metallia:)?
Ite tilaan puukkotarvikkeita yleensä www.brisa.fi tai www.kivipekat.fi/kauppa/ tai puukot.fi/Shop/ Terään suosittelen käyttämään 80crv2 terästä. Se on hyvin suosittua Suomessa ja tosi helppo karkasta. Karkasuohjeet pitäs löytyä aina sieltä mistä terästä tilaa.

Loved your work! Thumbs!!
ohhoh! kiitti! :D
You Finnished it!
Where are you from.
I'm from Finland.

Kiitos palijon
Say Heah, Infact, I liked your knife so much that when my Spyderco Puukku went on sale, I bought the G-10 version. All because I liked your knife.,,.p
nice job
Thanks!
onko kupari tarpeeks kovaa? vai onks se sellast pehmopaskaa :D
kupari? tarpeeks kovaa mihin? hela on messinkiä ja sen voi tehä siitä, kuparista, alumiinista, uushopeasta, teräksestä... melkee mistä vaa.
NorthWeapons terään mutta hetken googlailun jälkeen ei kyl taida olla
Joo terän pitää ehdottomasti olla karkaistavaa terästä muuten veitsi on käyttökelvottoman pehmeä
NorthWeapons jos joku kauppa on mistä sitä saa nii kerrotko?
ite ostan puukkotarvikkeita yleensä brisa.fi tai kivipekat.fi brisassa on laajemmat valikoimat.
wow

Sauna, Sisu, Koskenkorva, puukko, kirves ja viimeinen erhe.
good video
Thanks!
Окей.
Надо собрать что то похожее. Нет такое не буду. Надо что то более качественное.
I had to sub
I don't like the name "North Weapons" - A knive is a tool, no weapon!
Ma Mic in finland it is tool and waepon
Weapons can be tools, and tools can be weapons, it's pointless to get hung up on labels.
We are humans, not politicians, (most politicians fail at being human.)
As a finnish person i have to say that puukko really is both, a tool and a weapon
очень круто
Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan
Näin tehhää :D
Juu
that is not a puukko, real puukkos do not have a secondary bewel
