Ever since I first learned of the puukko I have LOVED that style of handle construction. A simple concept that ends up functional and pretty.

That was absolutely awesome. For a young man you are an amazing blacksmith and craftsman. Not only did you do a great job on the blade itself but I was blown away by the way you made the handle. I haven't seen anyone do a stacked handle in a long time and you nailed it perfectly. Anyone would be proud to own that blade including myself. Great job

I have seen how the Finnish make birch bark handles for their knives and they don't use glue. Instead they have the tang pointed like a spike and stab the sheets of birch bark onto the tang of knife, then they pound the bark down using a wooden block or rod that is hallow in the middle to compress them together. They would do this several times in till the desired length is achieved

That handle has a really nice look to it. Brilliant as always.

I love the handle! I never thought of Birch Bark before.

I LOVE this knife, it's simplistic yet pretty! One thing that I see LOTS of people do that i don't understand is that they don't put a relief right before the hilt. It leads to a sloping edge after a few years of sharpening.

That handle is just...amazing. Such wonderful work!!

I can watch this all day. Simply amazing!

Love that you made the handle the traditional way... So awesome.

That is absolutely swesome. The handle looks like leather

I like the Finnish you put on this knife, well done!

Great work, looks really good ,thanks for posting 👍

I love your move towards most artistic and creative knives. I would still like to watch your remaking videos and practice new skills :)

Puukko Knives are the most beautiful knives.

Such a great looking knife! Great job

Wow that's absolutely gorgeous.

Nice work as always. Look forward to seeing more.

I’ve watched this video at least 10 times, I love it, great work!

Wow! It's wonderful!

Love the rough finish you left after the hardening!

i know that i always comment about your creativity being through the roof, but this one is a step above, the handle and blade are both beautiful.

Wow, I have seen a lot of knives made, but never seen anyone use birch bark as a handle! That's really cool. I have tons of birch around here, now I have some plans!

Enjoyable video as always! Love the knife it looks amazing!

That is a beautiful Finnish knife. I love the use of the cold chisel! Your technique is impressive and the knife looks like a real champ! Thanks for the fun video!

Wow. Outstanding and amazing eye for detail. 10 out of 10. Brilliant

WOW! Really nice job and really cool technique👍

For your tight fit problem : no need for glue nor to punch holes in every single bark piece. Next time, you can make the tang longer and pointy and use it to pierce the bark. You also need to pack the pile with some sort of tube every few bark piece

very kool, really awesome handle.

Wonderful to watch. Excellent job mate.

Pretty good. Didn't know that the bark could be used in this way. Excellent ... >:3

birch bark Is used for many things. It's very rich in natural oils and tar, so even though it's totally dried it's still very flexible.

maybe it was also used because in finlnd it goes from warm to very cold and that can take a toll on solid wooden handles and might make them crack?

I think the handles like that used to be made separately, so it's not stuck to the blade, as often a good puukko can outlast a few handles.

Fantastic video of the whole process start to finish, expertly edited to not lose interest but also show how much work goes into the process. The birch bark handle is something I've never seen before, it is beautiful but how does it hold up compared to leather/wood/G10/Micarta?

Nice video, awesome knife!

I want to try this my self but I have 3 questions. 1. What kind of stock metal did you use? 2. I saw you tempered it for 2 hours in your oven but at what °C? 3. Any tipps on collecting the birch bark? Do I have to let it dry for a few weeks first? Thank you so much for all the videos of your work I really apreciate it! You are great!

this is art

Usually the tang is forged to a point and the birch paper is stabbed onto it. When enough paper is on the tang, the end cap is put on and the tip of the tang is cut off and then peened with a hammer to hold the parts together.
