Osmo the knife and sheath came out beautifully,it couldn't have been any better your friend is a lucky man to receive such a amazing piece of art that will be able to be passed down to his kids and grand kids for years and years to come,all the best to you and your family,thank you very much for sharing your work with us :-),i can't wait till the next one when are you going to make your video about making the knife from start to finish showing us how you do everything instead of pictures
Ron Sanford Thanks Ron - for the nice comment. Whenever I get someone who doesn't get so easily bored type friend to help me shooting it then it's really more than possible:) It will be hours and days of work... Thanks!
Incredible knife! That specially-made YP Leuku blade is just beautiful and certainly one-of-a-kind. One day I will do one of the smaller-sized YP blades. I have a Lauri Leuku blade, but I still haven't made a handle for it...I hope to soon. GREAT work and and very well done on the sheath too, Osmo!
Great knife Osmo! Your work is superb as always and Mr. Makinen did a good job with the blade. I think you should try using an angle grinder with a flap disc for the rough shaping. Your belt sander needs a lot of time to do the job, especially with a hard wood like this one.
kaziklu79 Thanks Alex. Yes, I can't thank Antti M. enough. He did a briljant job and it was a pleasure to go on there! Thanks for the hint:) for the future machineries:) Osmo
Omg, i want one!!:-) i didnt know yrjö made customs... i have already a nice design for a blade. I will send u an email tomorrow! And as always - outstanding craftsmanship ! I am amazed !
Osmo Queston 1 more for you . the D ring you used , i see it comes threw the leather , is their a cross bar that connects the U to make the D .. 2 piece ?
Lucky B Hi, no there isn't. It's a unwelded D-ring that I have opened only a bit and strung it into the holes. After that hammered back to the form. Thanks, Osmo
Osmo.... Thank you , I couldnt under Stand i have seen D Rings that were larger that has a shank that went threw holes in the D for heavy chains and thought that was the same thank you .
times I feel I was born on the wrong country and the wrong time , I am into the early European knives and swords , and the Scandinavian early weaponry , the Viking Ax to me was the best all around general purpose tool , thanks for getting back to me i appreciate it the blade in my photo is 52100 E Ball Bearing steel ,, again thanks .
Lucky B Well, what can you do... you can still be into those great things! Thanks! Hope you'll visit my site again 'cause I have got some really nice big blades waiting!
Beautiful work! I have a couple questions on your leather work. I recently got into it, and I am having trouble getting my leather to dye evenly, it tends to streak, and also once completed my sheaths have a very hard, stiff finish, even after oiling with Neat's foot oil they are still super hard. Can you give me any advice on how to prevent both of these from occurring? Thanks
+William Logue Hi William. Great that you like it. Which stain you use. Every different stain brand may work differently and also the leather may affect on the final result. You should change and try other supplier from time to time with both stain and leather and you could find better solution. Veg tanned leather usually gets harder after drying process and by oiling it may become a bit softer. Hope this helps. Osmo
An GREAT project my friend...but sir, you are remiss...there are not nearly enough images of the completed knife, the handle especially...or are you saving this for the recipient first?!
dlcknives Hi, thanks. There are to separate parts in knife making, making the knife and then the sheath. Within one week everything is ready if I like to push myself.
Hallo :-) I have to make a sheath for my Lauri 170 mm blade leuku. Tell me please how You made inlay for this knife, and what is the thickness of leather? I have leather 3mm thick. Regards, Dawid
Hi, Look at my vid How to make a plastic liner.. th-cam.com/video/qu5BFPjabq0/w-d-xo.html #mm is good thickness. Wish you great time with sheath making!
Osmo .. its me again lol .. that Plastic you place around the blade is it only for making sheath and when sheath is complete it is removed or does it stay inside of sheath ? next question is their a welt along the seam where you stitched as well ? thanks ..
What a fine knife Osmo! You have out done yourself!
Womper Bushcraft Thank you mate!

Victor Lindgren Thank you Victor. The blade always has the main role, I think. Trying just to cope with rest of it, keeping the balance, you know.
beautiful work, job well done
