This is the LAST Full Size Puukko I have from Aleksandr
It has been quite a while since I have featured any of Alexandr’s knives. This is the Original ~ Full Size 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 version of the Finnish / Scandinavian Puukko.
The unique Handle also incorporates a Bow Drill Socket on the side for Survival Fire Craft
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 Tang on this Afonchenko Puukko is Dovetailed (top and bottom) into the Bolster.
The Handle on this Afonchenko 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. (Pic below is the knife handle Upside Down)
This style of knife has been the preferred choice of Hunters and Bushcrafters for generations.
This Afonchenko Hi Tech Puukko comes with a Secure, Custom Molded Kydex sheath ~ with a Pull the Dot Rubber Belt Loop and Multiple Holes around the perimeter for a variety of carry options.
A true top shelf package ~ includes a Hand Signed COA, Magnet and stickers.
