JAKUB SLIWKOSKY
Jakub Slikowsky is a young Engineer turned custom Knife Maker from Poland. Jakub has been making knives for over a decade and has been a Full Time Maker since 2018. Many of his blades have an inspiration in outdoor Indigenous blades. Without using a CNC machine or any computerized equipment, he has become known for his clean designs and attention to detail. Jakub has built up a loyal following in his native land of Poland and I am confident that he will quickly secure a place among Outdoor enthusiasts in the US.

This Modern Puukko is a present day interpretation of a Traditional Pattern that has stood the test of time and is prized as the Ultimate EDC and Woods Knife by many Scandinavian peoples. More than enough blade for any Daily Cutting or Light Camping chore.
Jakub Hand Ground the Elmax Blade ~ measuring .165 Thick with a Tested Rockwell of 61 Rc. It has a High Flat Grind and the blade bevel has a vertical Machine Satin finish with a Labor Intensive Hand Rubbed Horizontal finish on the Flats.
The Custom Contoured Handle is a Teardrop shape, Larger and Thicker on top with Flattened Sides ending in a reduced width shaped bottom.
Sometime in the distant past, a mighty Oak Tree was felled or its roots rotted and it splashed down in an ancient Bog, darkened and preserved by the acidic water ~ protected until it was discovered thousands of years later.
Jakub Hand Picked the Unique Stabilized Bog Oak for this handle and contoured it to have a very unique Tear Drop Shape. When in the hand, the Fingers rest comfortably on the Flat Area and the smaller Tapered bottom of the handle fills the Palm. NOTE: Jakub also Custom Contoured the Stainless Ferrule to match the Contours of the handle!
The Jakub Sliwkosky Puukko comes with a Thick Leather Belt Sheath with Dangler attachment, also made by Jakub
A true top shelf package ~ includes COA, Business Card and Box
