Neck Puukko advice needed please

[mutineer]

Hi all,

I will try and keep to the point. I would like the following:
Blade; 8cm, Scandi with secondary bevel, bit like a mora! 3mm thick, 12c27
Handle; No guard, barrel shape with swell at the end
Straight alignment from handle to blade
I'm thinking full tang with lanyard loop and micarta scales.
Sheath; flap over pancake style with no belt loop for neck carry or to slip into a pouch.

It would be nice to see a production that fits the bill but I'm getting picky enough to warrant a custom. I used to have the small jarvenpaa puukko which I found really useful. It was unnoticeable on the neck and slipped into utility pouches on my webbing. Something a little fuller in the handle and a little more robust is what I have in mind. (hence full tang/micarta).

I just find this slightly smaller size more useful than the standard 10-11 cm blade (especially the wide bladed ones). I often get a lot of inspiration from kitchen paring knives.

OK, Ive said enough, any help is much appreciated.

Something like this, perhaps?

That is a nice knife! with a few differences with size, grind etc that's really close to the mark. Its really helpful to see pictures of these things. It helps to bring the idea I have in my head to life.

PS- That Bergans smock you modified for me last year is brilliant by the way. Ive been meaning to get some sort of review and feedback on it but time is always short! Its coming with me on the great glen canoe in 3 weeks so hopefully it will see some real use.

Ahti Korpi has the right dimensions and is a close match off the shelf.

Aha! Didn't realise it was you, Nick. Glad the smock's working out ok.

Hi, My brother has a Mark Hill knife and they are very nice indeed. However, if you want something a little more affordable then an Enzo Necker is a very good choice. You get a choice of handle materials (curly birch or micarta), 12c27 s/steel, 3mm thick, 7cm blade, nice leather sheath, scandi grind. I recently bought one and have been very happy with it to the extent that it's coming out with me on a camping trip this weekend and I'm leaving my bigger knife at home!
