This is a relatively new design by Aleksandr – a Dwarf Hi Tech Puukko – a knife that blends Traditional and Modern
The profile of this knife is immediately recognizable to any student of blade History, this is of course an updated rendition of the Finnish / Scandinavian Puukko. The Tang on this Afonchenko Puukko is Dovetailed into the Bolster.
The Hand Ground blade was crafted from N690 Co steel and given a Cryogenic Quench. This steel has properties that make it unique among modern steels; it is high in Carbon, Chromium, and Molybdenum. This combination offers a great balance between hardness and toughness. The Blade on this Afonchenko Puukko has an Stone Washed Finish with a Near Full Height Flat Grind and a Hollow Ground Full Length Swedge.
The unique Handle also incorporates a Bow Drill Socket on the side for Survival Fire Craft
The Handle on this Afonchenko Dwarf Hi Tech Puukko was crafted from an Integral Piece of Micarta. Given a Custom Oval Hand Filling Shape, easily indexed due to the smaller area on the bottom and a Thicker grip on the Top (Handle is upside down in pic below).
This style of knife has been the preferred choice of Hunters and Bushcrafters for generations.
This Afonchenko Dwarf Hi Tech Puukko comes with a Secure, Custom Molded Kydex sheath ~ with a Pull the Dot Rubber Belt Loop
A true top shelf package ~ includes a Hand Signed COA, Magnet and stickers.
