Hello from Finland!
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 11:43 amGreetings from Finland(-26C and maybe 60cm of snow) you fellow woodworkers, tool-lovers and homesteaders!
My name is Topi Remes, I'm 18 years old high school student from Finland, Pielavesi. I make knives, mostly puukkos, time to time and I've been taking a puukko-making course from Pekka Tuominen(check his webpage: http://www.puukkopekka.com)
I made my first knife when I was 14-15 years old, that's the one I always pick when I go out for hunt. When I made that knife, I wasn't affected by nearly anything, the design came from my head.
I could make a topic about puukko-making process if you people are interested in that.
And I have designed knifes, for example, John Neeman tools' puukko design is made from my drawings. (:
And about my future: I'll go for army during summer and then I'll apply for studies of handicrafts teacher in university of Turku.

- This is the first knife I made myself.
