Scandinavian knives: Puukko's, Leuku's and more 

WOW, WOW, WOW, FANTASTIC COLLECTION ! REGARDS FROM CANADA

Born and Raised in the Ozarks of Arkansas. It's amazing passion/collection of knives you have!! I see the influence of this style world wide. Beautiful

At 5:50, the connection with the horse head "pommels" (if you can call them that). The story goes that there was a man called Juho Kustaa Lammi who served for the military in Vaasa/Finland during the time we were a part of Russia. A cavalry officer asked Juho to make a horse head pommel for his sabre (or possibly whip) and that the head was to be modeled after the officer's own horse. He accepted, being a gun smith for the military. Later he started making knifes, and thought of the praise he'd gotten from the officer years earlier, and started adding these heads to the puukkos he made in Kauhava. This was maybe120 years ago. I still have a 2-part horse head knife in my collection of maybe 200 various puukkos, this was my first knife I got as a present from my dad on my 10th birthday in 1978. It has the same horse heads on both the big normal sized knife, and on the otherwise identical but really small additional knife in the same sheath. Thank you for an interesting video, and greetings from Finland!

THANK YOU! I LOVE PUUKKO's and enjoy learning more of the history behind them. You video was so informative, I learned so much from it! Thank You!

The most beautiful collection of Scandinavian knives on RU-vid. A real pleasure to watch them. Thank you for such a great presentation. I collect scandi knives also. My favorite is puukko with birch bark handle.

I inherited a knife from my father that is similar to that at 13:00 in your video. I remember it being in his workshop years ago and it makes sense that it dates from WW2. I had always wondered what the sheath was made from and now I know. Very interesting video - thanks

Scandinavian knives are the most beautiful, I love my moras and marttiinis but I’ll have to get some of the original ones

Really beautiful knives all together. Glad you share your interest in Scandinavian knives and history. Greetings from Norway.

Great Collection…😊😊😊

Beautiful knives!

I really hope your any children or your family members will take care of this collection in the future, such beautiful knives

Amazing collection!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful set of knives. My eyes are glued to the screen. Cheers from Portugal

A beautiful collection and a worthy review.

Helemaal tot, als je zo'n bijzonder gave collectie bezit. Leuk om te zien en te horen. Keek weer lekker weg 😀👍

That was a treat. Thank you!

Thank you! Beautiful knives

Servus Henk,ich bin hin und weg,eine tolle Puukko Sammlung,da sind einige wunderschöne Messer bei,danke fürs Zeigen und Gruß an Deinen Messerfreund, LG Christoph

Good to see a good representation of scandi knife culture. What I grew up with and love J

Thank you for sharing this collection. Those are some wonderful knives. Have you ever seen the work of American blade smith William Scagel? I think some of his knives may have been influenced by these styles, but they are also quite different in a way.

much appreciated, im a knife maker and love scandinavian blades and always like to learn more. any suggested reading?

Dank je wel mooie collectie

I am impressed

Fantastic 👍🇹🇷

I recently got into puukko knives. I love these now. I gravitate to the simplicity and sleekness of the puukko design. Great review!

Top Knives, Gruß aus Germany!

I have a puukko knife I bought at a pawn shop here in the states back in the early 80s. It has writing on the blade that I can’t read. Any ideas. Thanks.

vind de staal geweldig van een pukko die ik bij de kringloop kocht

Fantastic video! Thank you. Grüsse von einem Deutschen in Australien in die Niederlande.

13:00 to my understanding the paper sheaths were used because military needed all the leather for different kinds of soldiers eguipment, and they were on short supply through the war. So knife factories had to improvise

No marttiini fillet knife? No mora? Common man you gotta please the little guy too lol great vid

cool knives little buddy my brother im german we are same people yes

Wow most beautiful Scandinavian knives, I've ever seen! I hope you don't use that steep and uneven angle on these kind of blades with that history and value. I'm talking about 21:45 That was a really steep angle, even for a chopper! You used a much different angle for the other side, I'm sure you know you have to be consistent doing exactly the same on both sides. I just made the comment for people who don't know how to properly maintain their blades!

I want to buy one, how do i do? I'm from Việt Nam

Where do i find knives like this? In The states specific Brands Are Shoved in your face if you look up Keywords Of course Mora,Helle,Marttiini. not much else in the way of Good Finish made like the Horse head knives.

Can you guess me ww2 finish army private purchased puuko ? It's for ww2 reenactments. Thanks...

😀😀👍👍👍👌👌👌

The Puukko is not Scandinavian. It is Finnish. A completely different cultural and linguistic country. Northern, or Nordic, but not Scandinavian. Common error. Scandinavians are north Germanic. Finns are from the east, and related to Estonians and maybe some other Siberians. Even the knife traditions have different origins. Today everyone borrows from one another of course. Cheers!

Здравствуйте друзья подскажите пожалуйста возможно ли сделать вам заказ на финский нож. У вас отличный вкус. Очень хочется приобрести такую КРАСОТУ! С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ РОССИИ Г. ЯРОСЛАВЛЬ. 😲👍Или мог бы что-то вам преобрести допустим что-то вам нравится в России. Спасибо.!

Finland is not in Scandinavia.

all of us are germanic tribes yes vikings germans and swiss netherlanders yes we are all brothers yes

neither leukus or puukkos are scandinavian.

sorry hoor maar toen je overging in nederlands werdt het pas leuk qua begrijpelikjkheid. 100 % nederlands is beter. te gek item.. love Helle ik. ;-)

Учи дядя русский😂
