By far one of my favorite knifes so far! The birch bark handle is not only comfortable but also pretty easy to make.
Thanks for watching!

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.

@lovejcdc 4 года назад

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

@therookofchess 6 лет назад

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

@anthonytrinh2496 6 лет назад

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

@jere3604 5 лет назад

yeah, but it probably is easier that way.

@anonimniy 5 лет назад

Anthony Trinh , probably , one of the easiest ways is boiling up already compressed handle - birch tar will glue everything instead of you)

@jussieronen3707 4 года назад

The method is older than glue.

@AlphaNerd132 6 лет назад

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.

@saksikasi 6 лет назад

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

@MakeNCreate 6 лет назад

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.

@sleestalk 6 лет назад

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?

@modeljack2993 6 лет назад

Birch bark has historically been used for starting fires and sealing canoes by the native Americans. Tree bark in general has been used by ancient tribes as tree bark tents as homes.

@bloodypine22 6 лет назад

Finns also used to make shoes, backbags, purses, and sheaths out of Birch bark

@modeljack2993 6 лет назад

The imperial Inquisition The stuff can be worked like leather, from what I've seen since this video. So, perhaps not so surprising.

@Toownky 6 лет назад

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

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?

@Cibohos 6 лет назад

Never heard of a handle made like that before but damn is it cool. Now I want a forge -.-

@norbertzapf7546 6 лет назад

Woooow thats an amazing job...I wanna ask you cause is it possible that you make such a blade for me...blade only please. I am a german sheathmaker hobbyist and I can build the handle and the sheath myself but i have no forge available. I think you puuko is the best i just saw and i would love to have one of your production. best regards and have a nice day Norbert

@paulolinhares12 6 лет назад

@EODReddFox 6 лет назад

Super cool. What kind of epoxy did you use for the handle? A longer setting, tougher epoxy I’d think would be better. I’d also slather the the bark in it to toughen it up for the handle when stacking them. I would be worried about some of those discs cracking and coming loose with too weak an epoxy or too little used.

@MakeNCreate 6 лет назад

I used long setting epoxy. I did put epoxy on the bark.

@GramosiTV 3 года назад

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!
