Reindeer and Birch Puuko with Carbon Steel Blade

Reindeer and Birch Puuko with Carbon Steel Blade

Reindeer antler is often used in knife handles in Scandinavia, in the northern regions across Norway, Sweden and Finland. Dense and heavy with little marrow, the antler pieces are either used as full handle rolls, or as smaller sections within wooden handles. 

As opposed to stag antler handles, reindeer handles are generally ground to shape, showing the paler inside of the antler.

Hand made in Finland, this puuko style belt knife has a Lauri carbon steel blade made in the traditional cutlery city of Kauhava. The handle is in reindeer antler and arctic curly birch with a brass bolster and black fibre spacers.
