R.Nurmi PUUKKO - #17 Moose Antler Handle with Stacked Birch Bark

Rick has been a wood worker and knife builder for many years. I was quite surprised with the creativity when the first batch of knives was sent. Every one of his knives we have seen have exceptional craftsmanship and  are beyond creative.

This one is by far the largest knife we have seen from Rick and it sure is comfortable!

This knife was started with the well known Lauri Little Leuku 145mm Stainless blade. The handle is made out Moose Antler! This very fine piece has a moose antler handle with  birchbark spacers. Beautiful finished piece.

The blade measures out at 5 5/8"wide  The handle at the longest point is 4 5/8" so the knife total length is just under 10 1/4"

The sheath is made out of a un dyed veg tanned leather. It is backsewn which is quite traditonal. Quite neat. Sure is another piece that your buddy wont have... The knife fits quite snug into the sheath as it is supposed to.
