I would like to get a Finnish hunting hand axe though


There is only very few makers, Roselli is thou one.

But if you ever havenīt had any custom-made puukko for yours purposes, you just donīt know from what a real high quality puukko feels when using it. Itīs good to remember too that puukko isnīt any special tool for skinning, itīs even better abilities comes out when whittling. If you are skillfull enough (as my father used to be) you could do very conscious wood works with ordinary high quality puukko.

One sample below:



Both Karesuando and Marttiini are in barely moderate grade in my scale. The best of Marttiini`s are IMO their modern kitchen and skinning knifes. Their traditional puukkos finishing is much worse than, for example, norse Brusletto`s ones have.


Thanks I will check into that Roselli axe . Interesting that you mention Brusletto knives , I have two of these made in Norway , one has a Damascus blade and the other is laminated . Both are ok knives but in no way can these hold an edge as good as my old Marttiini's or my Karesuando skinning knives. I guess it depends on the knife and the model a person has. Beautiful work! I am only a skinner not a carver!
