Puronvarsi Hunter Custom @thetopicala ### thetopicala 2023-03-27 | From my workshop. I did this kind of puukko knife several years ago. Friend of mine asked me to repeat this handle work again as a gift for his son. Did some search in my garage and found an old Puronvarsi blade blank and here we are. Finishing this kind of handle needs some taping. On the other hand you need to oil and grease leather parts and oak needs only good Tru Oil finish. Finally good polish for the brass parts. Quite different compared to regular one material knife handle. 90mm blade / total of 210mm length for the puukko. Osmo

San Mai blade & Mammoth @thetopicala thetopicala 2022-10-31 | TH-Puukot and blacksmith Teemu Häkkilä sold this blade to me a while ago. Also I had purchased this dyed/stabilized mammoth tusk earlier.
