BOREAL Knives - Progressive Tempered Puukko #9

John Jacobson jumped into the knife making hobby over 5 years ago now, After looking at his first shipment of knives, I would have thought he has been doing it for a lifetime. We love the fact that many of the handle materials that he uses are sustainably harvested out of the Boreal forest in Northern Minnesota. This is where his name comes from. All of his knives that we have seen have a very clean fit/finish and are ready to be used by anyone.

This one started out with a Lauri Progressive Tempered 77mm x 20mm blade. The handle is made out of Foraged Curly Birch and Birch bark spacers. The Rat tail tang goes all the way through the handle and is peened over the pommel. The Bolster and pommel are from some cleanly polished brass

Again, this barrel shaped handle although simple, is QUITE comfortable.

The Sheath is hand stitched and hand dyed and wet formed to fit the knife as any puukko should. Quite a nice piece!
