Hi all,
I would be grateful for some advice on a puukko knife by a brand known as 'Finnish wilderness' that I recently acquired. Its not an overly expensive knife but I've wanted a puukko knife for a while and I'm really pleased with it.
My concern is that it came with a secondary bevel. I figured that puukko knives traditionally have a Scandi grind but I recently read up on some reviews on heinnie's and a few people mentioned how their knives also came with secondary bevels. I guess I can put the knife to a stone and after a fair amount of work achieve a Scandi grind but my conundrum is whether it's worth it?
The thing is that I'm still happy with the knife and the blade is still hair poppingly sharp. I know that I can maintain the edge very easily with a regular strop and some sharpening on my lansky crock sticks as and when it's needed.
Would welcome your thoughts
