John Lisack Custom #4 Puukko

John Lisack has been a customer for quite some time now. He started sharing pictures of his work and here we are! These are simple knives but he really takes the time to match the blade to the handle for a comfortable fit!

This one started with the well-known triple laminated Helle Skog Blade#83.  The handle  is made out of a beautiful piece of Birdseye maple and purple heart with some white and black spacers. John finished this handle by hand with 9 coats of finishing oil. It feels quite protected but also will not be slippery when wet.  This also gives the beautiful wood some depth and really shows off some great grain. Quite comfortable in either left or right hand,

The Brown leather sheath is quite soft and takes about 9/10 of the entire knife for a sure fit.
