The two puukkos I have forged on New Year time are finally completed. I was working on it but slowly and getting leather for sheath was little troublesome, so took really long time to finish these.
違った用途のプーッコを二本。大きい方は比較的トラディショナルな汎用プーッコ。小さい方はカービングなどの削り作業に特化したプーッコ。
Two different sizes of puukko. One is quite straight forward traditional way general purpose and other one is specialized for whittling job.

お決まりのトライスティックとブラス棒テストは合格。ただ、いつもよりも軟らかめに仕上がってます。まあ、問題はまったく無いですが。あと、バトニングに絶えるかどうかは自信なし。多分ブレードとタングは問題ないと思いますが、ハンドル材が衝撃に耐えないかも・・・
As for usual testing, whittled a try stick, and also brass rod tested. Both passed, but I must say, the blade is little softer than my preference. Also I have to note that I am not very confident using these for batoning. The blade and tang would withstand the stress but not sure about the handle.
Beautiful knives! Very professional job. :)

At the risk of sounding like a crank, I don't believe in batoning. I think it's knife abuse, just like using a beautiful painting for a rug, to see how it holds up.
返信削除Thank you. For the handle and sheath, I have tried some new technique. I am quite happy with the result.
返信削除Gorgeous knifes, both of them.
