Nordic Puuko in Traditional Materials
Really happy with the latest Nordic knives, especially the handle shape on the Curly Birch Puuko is something I want to try to copy the feel of:

The handle is in curly birch, not a very highly figured grade but still attractive. The comfortable handle shape, and a short sharp blade with scandi grind and brass bolster gives a solid feel in the hand. I think I will try to aim for this handle shape in some of my stick tangs next.
