Hello from Finland!

Postby TopiRemes » Thu Jan 22, 2015 11:43 am

Greetings 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)

And my latest one, which is still WIP.

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.

This is the first knife I made myself.

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.

Welcome to the forum Topi!

I'm sure many people would be interested in the knife making process. Feel free to make a new topic in the Knives/Axes category!
