Grendal Blades- Custom Puukko #162

Christopher Whiting has been ordering our blades for a few years now. He often sent some pictures of his work and as you can see, they are beautiful! We had offered for quite some time to showcase some of his work and he finally took us up on the offer! We now have them available for you to purchase!

The puukko is a Scandinavian knife that has been made for centuries. The blade is a 2.875” laminated custom by Danish maker Mogum L. Svendsen. His blades are sought for their superior cutting function and subtle elegance. I cement this blade in the chosen handle wood with epoxy resin. This handle material is Spalted Maple with Bloodwood Bolster, interspaced with Black nylon spacer.

It is finished with a matt finish called Danish Oil, with a light, hand rubbed, beeswax. You can also rub linseed oil or lemon oil on sheath & handle it to brighten it up. The sheath is from vegetable tanned leather, which allows for wet forming. The hanger is inserted through the sheath wet and then smoothed to finish. The hanger loop is held by friction only. The sheath is hand sewn with 20# braided fish line and is dyed British Tan.

The hanger loop buttons are deer antler, sewn on after the sheath is dyed. Maker’s initials
CW are embossed on the side of the sheath. The blade will thank you for light oil cleaning after use. I would recommend keeping the sheath dry.

Blade length: 2 7/8"

Overall length: 7 3/4"

All of the work that we have seen from Grendal Blades has shown exceptional craftsmanship. We can tell Christopher enjoys every little detail from the choice of the blade to the perfect fitting wet formed sheath. We hope you can now enjoy it as well!
