EXCEPTIONAL Goat Willow Antler Custom Made Leuku Knife
Very exclusive design honoring Nordic knife making traditions! ONE OF A KIND KNIFE!! This is a big, heavy knife! You will NEVER see another one like this!!
Total sheath & knife Length: 23"
Handle: 5" Goat Willow Burl with Reindeer Antler spacers
Blade: length 7 1/4", width 1 3/8", thickness 1/8" Hand forged Carbon Steel (HRC 59)
Sheath: Reindeer leather and a whole Reindeer Antler
Maker: Mauri Pöyliö, Sodankylä, Finland
Blade is hand forged way beyond the Arctic Circle in Lapland and has Pöyliö's stamp on it. The carbon steel is hard enough (HRC 59) for even more demanding jobs and yet, it is fairly easy to keep razor sharp. You can still see the "burn marks" on the blade!
This is one of Mauri Pöyliö's finest traditional puukko designs, "Jylmä Suihkiäijä" (Swift Old Man)! A part of his collectable leuku design series. An attractive combination of RARE Goat Willow burl with white reindeer antler spacers finished with great precision and expertise. Feels very smooth and comfortable in your hand! These traditional puukkos and leukus don't have finger guard, since they are meant for "everyday" knives for any task you might need a good cutting tool from carving to hunting or fishing where finger guard sometimes might limit the way you hold the knife. "Jylmä Suihkiäijä" is a collectable leuku knife and has a serial number 263 and maker's signature at the back of the case. On the top of the case there are traditional Lapland "God of Wind", reindeer herd and 2 hunters by lavvu (like Native American tepee) and the symbol of reliability burnt on the antler. |
