Scrapyard Puukko !

The recent post about some people wanting some different designs got me to thinking, how many people would be interested in a Scrapyard version of a Puukko ?

Puukko's are generally hidden tang knives which would fit well with the Scrapyard hidden tangs.

I think a blade similar to the one below but with say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> a Mudder handle would be awesome and take care of all the cries of those wanting a Scrapper Bushcraft blade !



What do ya think ???

Always happy for a new well made knife so I am in.

Very similar to the BD or the WD or a war dog

No choil and different grind, probably a similar size though.

Hey Pit, how about if Dan made a "Scrapyard version of the Bog Dog? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

If there will be a real puukko made by Scrap Yard, I´m in but if it´s something like puukko, I´m not. In my opinion War Dog is quite close to puukko, so there already exists something like puukko.

I´ll say it again: puukko.

looks great jrod

Thanks!

Oh, what I wouldn't do for an oval/ egg shaped res-c handle attached to a no choil high hardness sr-101 blade of around 4 inches, maybe 1/8 thick....... Hmmmmmmmmmm

I am in. I love pukkoo blades!

The Bog Dog is a great knife. Love D2 also.

id love to see something bushcrafty. dont have a particular design in mind, but it would be nice to see something new and different.

This is the definition of a Puukko, I think the blade/grind is of more importance in defining it as a Puukko rather than the handle.


The basic components of a puukko are a hilt and a blade along with a sheath, which can be attached to a belt. The blade is short, typically less than 100 mm.
The flat back allows the user to place a thumb or his other hand on it to concentrate the force. Puukkos are used both as a tool for all kinds of carving, especially to work wood, and to clean the catches of anglers and hunters. Some puukko designs have a slightly upwards or downwards curved point, depending on what purpose the knife has. A hunting puukko's tip is often curved downwards to make skinning and opening the animal easier and less messy. The blade is relatively short, usually about the same length as the handle. Fisherman's puukkos sometimes have a small dovetail on point to ease scraping off the innards of a fish.

Most puukkos have a slight shoulder but No choil , since the point where the edge ends and the handle begins is also the point where most power can be applied. A puukko often has no guard to stop the hand from slipping onto the edge, but this is of no great importance, since it is primarily considered a cutting tool, not a stabbing weapon. In cases where the knife and the hand are expected to get wet, like if the puukko is meant for gutting fish or game, some form of guards are carved into the handle. The traditional length of the puukko blade is the same as one's palm width, usually 90–120 mm. Carvers, huntsmen and leatherworkers favour shorter blades; woodworkers, carpenters and constructors longer.

I'm with you, pit. I generally like my knives with no choil.

I would be in.

4" puukko? in SR101 or D2?
hells yeah!

I can really imagine this one, more so than many of the other wild suggestions that fly around from time to time.

I'd be interested to hear what Dan thinks ?

I'm not the best at drawing but this is the sort of thing I was thinking if Dan went with the Mudder handle:

I like it! I'd buy one!

Scandi-Mutt ?

Now I could deal with one of those myself! Even if it was $99.95! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good to me ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Gopher it Pit!

Come on Dan, 4 inches of blade, 1/8 inch thick elmax with the sculpted mudder grip! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I'm not too familiar with the Elmax, would that be more prone to chipping than SR101 if it was a Scandi grind, I struggle to get over my nervousness of stainless steels ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

It's supposed to be a really good steel. BUT if it would make you feel better, Dan or Jerry's secret mix would be fine with me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I just said elmax cause it does well in the kitchen, which doesn't mean it will do good in wilds. Maybe Dan needs to make a couple sample blades in different steels and divvy them for a few dogs to try. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sort of a TTSD!

I must say that I've never really been a fan of the traditional Scandinavian grind. But as long as its a high grind, like in your drawing, then I'd be in. My steel preference would be SR77, for ease of sharpening. Just my $.02, which really isn't worth even that much since this isn't my thread.

Love it just like that, I would buy a few!!!

The more I look at it the more I can imagine it being in the Scrapyard line, I'd like to know what Dan thinks ?

The sketch design is really good that in 4 inches offered in spear point also would make my day

Scandi grind? Yuck.

Wash your mouth out ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />


Have you used a nice thin scandi, they make most other grinds look like butter knives when carving wood ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It has the one advantage of being cheap to manufacture.

they do cut well, due to the thin stock.

I've noticed Dan hasn't commented, I'm wondering if that's because it is too much work to set the machines up to do a Scandi grind or maybe just because he hates the idea, LOL !

Anyway I got to thinking today that if it's the first reason then how about a version out of 0.150" SR101 with a full height flat grind, this is the same stock thickness and grind as the Scrapivore which is described as a "cutter of the highest order "......sounds good enough to work as a Puukko eh !!!

Maybe it has something to do with the mudder grips. I see the 411 was only on the website for order for a short time, and some of the others have been on for months.

I still think the design is a winner.

Yep,

I think this would be one epic blade. sr101 3-3/4 - 4 " choiless

Bring it SYKCO

I'm fairly new here, but haven't most runs with mudders been fairly short? Thats why I pounced on one asap haha

I can't see why Mudders would be any harder or more costly to produce than any of the other handles.

There were lots of Scrapper 5s made in many different color combos.

Maybe Dan grew dissatisfied with the 411 shortly after releasing it and pulled it from pre-order? Maybe he knows it needed to be choilless and is currently redesigning it?

I like that theory.

I keep checking to see if there are 8 knives available at the shop. I am super bummed and saving extra xmas money for the 411!!!! Mudders!!! I NEED THEM!!!

O and a SY PuuKKo would be cooooooool!!!

I was rereading this and wondering if anyone has a Spyderco Bushcraft? My only experience with the scandi grind was a mora I had for about 10 minutes. I found it harder to do finer work with...seemed to bite the wood very deeply very quickly. That spydie keeps catching my eye- that handle looks super comfy.

I like how the Spyderco Puukko's bevel is larger than your typical Scandi, on their description they don't describe it as a Scandi grind instead saying it has a single straight bevel. Their Bushcrafter however is described as having a Scandi grind.

A Puukko can also be flat ground though as in the case of this one:



I can't see the Spyderco being any more comfy than a Yard version with Mudders !

Traditionally puukko was made with a blade that was flat ground - it´s very easy to sharpen because the angle is always the same when you place the blade on the stone.

Familiar looking logo on that puukko... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Back to the top for notoriety. I think this needs to happen.

Sorry for the late chime in. But it looks to me basically like a Scandi-ground choilless 411. I would definitely be interested especially if it was in SR101. I was looking for a bushcrafter type blade to accompany my 911 and something like this would fit the bill perfectly. The other option I was looking at was the TOPS B.O.B. knife which is basically a woodlore type design. If Scrap Yard came out with something like that in SR-101 I would be on it like flies on crap. I think that would make an awesome bushcraft set a 911 and either the knife above or a woodlore type blade. I would definitely want the smaller blade to be a scandi-grind. Take it for what it is that being just my 2 cents.

regards,
Joe

Yes Please!
How about in Elmax Steel? That would be Awesome. Anyone else?

I'm in.

The Yard's Elmax steel blades are awesome!!!

I also love pukko/puukko blade style, but the thin edge seems more likely to roll on harder materials. However, the Bussekin super heat treat (magical fairy dust additive, etc) may not have this problem. I'd be interested to see that style offered.
