Large Puukko Like Object, LPLO

[Raymond Richard]

Been making several smaller bladed knives over the last several months that are more along the lines of Puukko's than anything else but I have been getting an itch to make something a bit larger so here it is. Not knowing what puukko means it probably means small knife so here's my take of a large small knife. This one has a 8" W-2 blade, wagon wheel wrought iron fittings, desert ironwood with ivory spacers for a handle. 12 1/2" overall.

Beautiful knife.

I think the Finnish name for this sort of knife is Leuku.

Hey Ray,
I knew sooner or later we would start seeing them grow. This one looks like it could handle any task asked of it. I really like it. Wade

Wade, If it gets much colder here the forge will get lit and the I hope to make some real knives. Actually I've kind of been enjoying the stock removal but I'm really missing the creativeness that forging a blade gives me. Just started some new pain pills so hopefully that will help with the hand and the wrist problems.

Bravo Raymond...I just love it that a knife can both beautiful and functional. I appears you have more than accomplished both. I think it is awesome...something to aspire to.
