Handmade pukko buying -Luosto area?

[Rickyd]

I’m going to Luosto in December, and I have always said if I go to Finland I’d like to buy a custom knife. Are there any knife makers in this area?

There is a shop selling locally (or not too far away) made puukkos right at the Luosto hotel area. More in Sodankylä that is fairly close. Carbon steel blades only when I last visited the place.

While genuine articles are sold, there are also some touristy stuff that is for looks only. So some care is needed when choosing.

Thank you for the reply, I’ll have a look now and see what I can find, do you know if it’s a quality blade?

Last time I saw I would say the quality was quite reasonable, that without any testing.
