What a complete library of links you just posted! Wow!.....that surely needs to be saved somewhere where it can be found.

I wanted to add some important information about Marko and his knives.....many puukko sold as traditional are not made the old way, many things outsourced, or bolsters cut out of thick plate...

Marko makes every bit, casts the bolsters, forges each and every blade, absolutely no simple stock removal sold as traditional,....

AND very uniquely, and importantly, he actually Rockwell tests each and every blade, so that if he says it is a 58 Rc blade, then it is a real and measured 58 Rc, and not just some number pulled off of a heat treat chart which only shows average results plus or minus too many other variables to count. As far as he knows, no other puukkoseppa does this rigorous a testing in all of Finland.
