JT Pälikkö Bushcraft Puukko hunting knife

Master bladesmith JT Pälikkö crafts his puukko knives in his workshop in the maritime surroundings of Suomenlinna, combining traditional craftsmanship, practicality, and his distinctive style. This bushcraft puukko is a one-of-a-kind piece, emphasizing durability, ergonomics, and meticulous finishing – while also standing as a collectible and a refined work of craftsmanship.

The blade is forged from a combination of RWL-34 and PMC-27 powder steels into a stainless damascus construction, featuring a traditional twist pattern. This pattern is created by twisting the billet prior to forging, resulting in a vivid, three-dimensional layer structure that is integral to the blade. With a hardness of 58–63 HRC, it offers excellent edge retention and wear resistance, making it a reliable tool for versatile outdoor use.

The handle is made from stabilized and dyed curly birch, combining the natural beauty of Finnish wood with enhanced durability. Its ergonomic shape ensures a secure and comfortable grip. Stainless steel fittings complete the knife with a clean, durable, and timeless finish.

The included leather sheath features decorative tooling and a wooden insert, protecting the blade and keeping it securely in place. This puukko is a dependable tool in the field – and at the same time a valuable one-of-a-kind piece worthy of any collection.
