Cocobolo Puukko

[USNGMG2]

I completed my newest puukko: Blade is 100 mm x 20mm, peened nickel silver front bolster and polished rear end cap with cocobolo and ebony handle with boiled linseed oil finish. The blade has a 2mm bevel on each side of the 2mm spine. The blade was polished to 800x then gray Scotch Brite finish.

Beautiful. I’ve got to try my hand at one of those. Can you possibly do a WIP of your build?

Thanks opaul. I did a WIP and I will find it. I'm not certain whether or not it is a Knife Dog link or not.

Gorgeous knife. I am a big fan of cocobolo. That piece looks a lot like desert ironwood.

 

[USNGMG2]

Thanks Dennis. You are correct this piece of cocobolo does look like desert ironwood and is just as hard.

Like the texturing on the front! Looks real nice!

 

[USNGMG2]

Thanks Gliden07. It is a lightly peened finish.
