jameswood 22 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 ..or it might be bloom. Its some high carbon grainy steel I pinched from Owen Bush's scrap that we though was just wrought. Laminated it with with wrought iron and put a handle on it. Silver birch burl I have on permanent loan from an estate in the Cairngorms. Brass sheet brazed into a ferrule and brass sleeve over the tang to peen against. Wet formed veg tan sheath over a pine core with bronze jump ring 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter-Paul Derks 210 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 A very pretty knife and sheath and shear steel is always nice to see. How did you make the ferrule? Link to post Share on other sites

Randy Griffin 50 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I really like this knife. Has a very nice blade shape. I notice it has a secondary bevel. Is this common with a puukko? I've seen them made with and without. I want to try my hand at one but didn't know which I should try. Link to post Share on other sites

MikeDT 90 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Very nice! I love the lines of the knife, from the acute tip to the swell at the end of the handle - it all flows beautifully. Link to post Share on other sites
