Pieter-Paul Derks 207 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Seems good to me,time and materials wise. the only comment I have is that for less experienced makers,or people with limited tools it could prove too big of a challenge to create a blade with such specific geometry and edge angle. Ps. With less experienced makers I also mean myself. Link to post Share on other sites
N. Runals 16 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 These have never been done in such a strict manner, in my opinion it's best to say. "Make a puukko to the best of your ability" I feel that with this group that is the best way to push and encourage one another. Link to post Share on other sites

GEzell 136 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I have a question, and this might be the best place to ask.... Would a typical viking era knife be considered puukko-ish enough to qualify for this KITH, or should I stick with something more modern? The primary difference is these are usually flat ground or convex, the shape is almost identical and the culture the same, minus 1000 years.... Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Price 22 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I certainly wouldn't mind getting a small seax from you, but I think the spirit was more along the lines of the last couple hundred years. I think there's plenty of room for interpretation as long as the general form is followed, I'm already working on mine and have an east-meets-west thing going on. Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolf Harmse 2 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think it would count as a puukko as the sheath construction and blade profile is almost identical it is just a different finish which was probably what was the best attainable at the time. Link to post Share on other sites
