The Riddle of Steel

A traditional finnish Puukko knife I purchased today, hand-made from the beginning to finish by the master smith Juha Kahiluoto, using only traditional methods and materials -no machines were involved in creating this blade!

Forged from Damascus steel and sharper than a razor, with a handle made by blending two types of wood, including over a hundred-year old apple tree. the sheath is made of Ox-hide, and the knife comes with a lifetime service of sharpening and repairs by the master himself.

As one of my friends said when he saw it: "Well, someone knows the Riddle of Steel."

It is one of a kind, and amongst the most beautiful items I have ever owned. Everyone should buy less mass-manufactured products and support artisans!
