This is a puukko that I made up from a Kankaanpää blade, a piece of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) that I cut in the forest, a piece of elforyn and a piece of brass.

It sits next to the fireplace with a rough little cherry board and a stick of maple; I put a foot on the board, hold the maple almost vertical and take shavings off it with the puukko to use as kindling.
 
I really coveted a benchmade pukko, when I went to pull the trigger on one they were discontinued, with the amount of fakes about I couldn’t trust to buy secondhand!
I didn't realise there were fakes of the pukko made....? I bought two, as it is a brilliant blade and knew that I would need a replacement at some point, one was second hand....?

I read a comment on Youtube once from someone who knowingly bought a Chinese fake Fallkniven F1 from AliExpress to compare it to a real one. Turns out it was actually a really good knife. Not quite as good as the original Fallkniven but still virtually identical and had 95% of the performance for 20% of the price (or something like that anyway).

I wonder how good some of these fakes really are? Maybe they could they actually be a viable option for cheap semi-disposable knives instead of the usual Mora Companion?
