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

But if you ever haven´t had any custom-made puukko for yours purposes, you just don´t know from what a real high quality puukko feels when using it. It´s good to remember too that puukko isn´t any special tool for skinning, it´s 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.
