I'm working on a few puukkos for friends and thought I snap a few pictures of the process along the way. This one is built around a 4" Mora Classic blade in carbon with some added spine jimping and a forced patina. The handle is stacked brass, walnut burl, copper, birch bark, figured maple, and whitetail antler. This thread focuses more on the sheath building process, but I did catch a few pictures of the knife itself in progress. Finished pictures will be coming soon!
