    Pentti Kaartinen Arki-Tommi Puukko Review

    In use As mentioned previously, the edge out of the box would easily shave, but I stropped it a bit before beginning my tests. 10 passes on BRKT black, 10 passes on FlexCut Gold. The edge would tree top and whittle hair, with no irregularities. Please keep in mind my whittling skills are a...

    Pentti Kaartinen Arki-Tommi Puukko Review

    Hi everyone! Been a while since I was last active here (spent a few years on a wilderness rescue team and my passion for bushcraft kinda faded for a while). That said, I figure this might be something of interest, so I hope you enjoy! I did this review in the style of NordiskaKnivar blog (with...

    So much money on knives

    I love cheap knives. I have a box of 10 Hultafors HVKs, and 11 Mora 510's, not to mention various other models amounting to another 15+. They're great! However, I have worn them out before. Not the blades, but the handles. Either split the plastic handles, or the blade just came loose from the...

    Help finding a gift

    A properly built puukko will be plenty solid for anything you could think of, short of splitting full rounds. Look into the RST (Wetlands) versions of Ahti knives. They're made just like their normal puukkos, but with natural curly birch handles and stainless blades. I've had very good...

    BcUK Photograph of 2016 Competition October Heat

    Great! I actually took that picture right after I got back from a rescue. Just noticed now, that to the left of the face near the top right, is an almost perfect outline of a person. Almost looks like he is wearing a headdress of flame.

    BcUK Photograph of 2016 Competition October Heat

    Not the best picture, but I do see a face in the top right section of the flames. Hope this is alright.

    Leuku or Hatchet?

    Depends on what other tools you will have. I'd be most happy with a Scandi sized axe (20-24" long), an 8-9" Leuku (I love my thick, hand forged custom leukus, but my 8" Stromeng is my favorite user), and a small blade like a puukko or a Hultafors HVK (or any comparable blade). Don't forget a...

    Wildlife pictures

    Just some local wildlife. Already posted in the "your picture of the day" thread, but thought it should be posted here as well.
