Nice to see other people’s collection of treasures. Make me feel good knowing there are others in the world that are hanging on to their earlier knives, taking them out for a day or two to use them for their originators intended uses. My best treasure is a knife my father at about age ten, made under the watchful eye of my grandfather. Dad and his brother made identical knives from a worn out file, heated in a forge and beaten into shape on an anvil. Oil tempered to perfection. The completed knife strongly resembles your Scout knife, only with a black walnut burl handle. Complete with repurposed old leather boot top for a sheath, held together with copper rivets and black fishing line stitches.
Wow your dad's knife sounds like a real treasure. I wonder how many 10 year olds have the patience to make something like that nowadays. Thank you very much for the comment.
Nice collection, that shrade skinner was a cool idea . I have an old unfinished one of those in a box. It's when they started hollow grinding the edges before they sold the company. Those Prunovarsi blades are so beautiful and very expensive . I haven't bought one yet , it's definitely on my short list .
They are probably a little cheaper over here. Mind you, you buy stuff from Lamnia if I remember rightly anyway? I kind of feel that my workmanship is a little to ropey for Puronvarsi blades🤣. I don't do them Justice. Thanks for watching mate.
Thanks mate, I am trying to remember what I used for the handle materials on both of those knifes. At least one of them came from a pick axe handle. Thanks for watching mate.
I love the skinner you made from a broken Schrade blade, finding it a bit reminiscent of the Helle Mandra. The birch bark sheaths are also very interesting. I wish to experiment!
You might find this interesting.th-cam.com/video/BLnqr6IGVgs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=plKcRxJXI_kzinil The thing to remember is to alternate the grain direction in the bark (it's not called grain in bark but I can't remember the word). That will make it a lot stronger. It is a fantastic handle material. Feels grippy and comfortable, maybe not the most impact resistant though.
Great collection, Tim. I love rustical knives. What do you think of Karesuando's 1770 carbon steel? That was the 1st blade I made into a knife some 20 years ago...
My first blade blank that I made into a knife too, about the same time ago🤣.I didn't actually use it that much and haven't used it at all for a long time and it is the only Keresuando blade that I have. Although the guides have made some knives from them (the factory is actually very close to here) so I don't have much experience of the steel. I think I am too much into Laurin Metali's 80CRV2 🤣. Thanks for watching mate.
Thanks Tim! The beginning of a series I hope! Ha. Yeah I knew I'd love that red nylon handle. Maybe because of my "advanced age" but I seem to remember cool stuff made out of that . Stacked birch at the end was very eye catching. Glad to know Unni was lurking, though unseen. Have a good Weekend.
She just barged into the tripod to make her presence known. I think you can hear her chewing on one of her toys at one point too 🤣. Thanks for watching Chris.
U were also correct ..the difference being a guy that works n a office on wall sreet calls it a sabre saw ..a guy n the trades that uses 1 alot like myself call it a sawzall 😂. No worries bro ..yall have a good day !!
Yard sales we don't really have in Europe. Second hand shops are common in Finland and car boot sales in the UK..which is basically a field full of cars selling stuff out of the trunks. Thanks for watching Trav.
@@Shastavlyoriginals Ebay is what's killing that kind of thing. Most people don't really know what the good stuff is in a car boot sale. People will pay more on Ebay.
Hey Tim bro ! ..what an awesome collection of knives you must have !! ..all the ones you show here are treasures for sure !! I agree that the repair on the red handled knife is best left as is !! I love the 'standard' wooden handled knife with the decorative sheath !! awesome !!
I do have quite a lot of them 🤣. A lot more old ones too. Hard to say which I like the best out of the older ones. I think it might actually be the really plain one in this video. Thanks for watching again mate.
Yes it does look like bakerlite, I mentioned nylon as I have heard the Wirkkala puukko had a nylon handle and it is similar. The knife in the video has a bit more of a shine to it, like old fashioned telephones. The Wirkkala does not. Despite this I would not be surprised if my source of information was wrong and the Wirkkala was also bakelite. Thanks for watching mate.

Great collection of fixed blade knives. Thanks for sharing a view of them all.
Glad you liked them Richard, thank you very much for watching mate.
I like that bone handle antler knife! ❤❤❤🔪🔪🔪💯💯💯😎🤘
Man you must have some knives Tim!😂😂😂👊
One or two more than I actually need 🤣. The antler handled one is very nice.
Thanks for watching mate.
Åre skutan. Åre is One of Swedens biggest downhill places. It’s a mountain (Åreskutan) The knife is a souvenir from Åre.
Fantastic, thant you very much for the information. I should have guessed that it was the name of a tourist spot.
Thank you.

Nice blades my friend. Good fix and repurposing of that Shrade.
Thanks Dan, a shame to let the steel go to waste.
Nice collection of vintage knives !! Thanks for showing us Tim
Thanks for watching Rick. Glad you enjoyed seeing them.
Great group of knives! Love the old blades.
I definitely have a thing about old tools 🤣.Nice to be able to share some of my collection with the rest of the world . Thanks for watching.
Beautiful overview of archaeological finds👍
I actually do have two that I found buried 🤣. I did make a video about one of them.
Thanks for watching mate.
Very nice to see these older knives getting new life. And that little skinner is cool. I really like that it has a decent sized handle on it. Bravo!
Thanks mate, I am trying to remember what I used for the handle materials on both of those knifes. At least one of them came from a pick axe handle. Thanks for watching mate.
Nice collection, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Thanks Lee, Glad you liked the collection.

Sawzall, I have heard that before.Did I just make up sabre saw? 🤣. Glad you understood at least.
Thanks for watching Harry

Those are really cool Tim. You got me wanting to hit some yard sales and look for old stuff lol. Used to find great knives and axes at yard sales.

The plastic they used on earlier knives were bakelite & still used today.
Great video love old style puukkos

I look forward to the knife making video Tim !.. awesome !!
Another project on the list 🤣. Thanks for watching Andy.

Thanks, Tim! That was fun to watch. I look forward to the stacked birchbark. :)
I will get round to that one in the end 😂. Might take some time. So many projects on at the moment.
Glad you enjoyed the video Dave.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft No pressure, my friend. You are a busy man! So appreciate the videos!
