FAQS
What is a puukko Exactly?
The puukko is the traditional Finnish and Scandinavian knife par excellence: a short and straight blade, a handle ergonomic, often made of birch or reindeer wood. It is designed to cut, cut, sculpt... and especially to last a lifetime.
Does this site sell knives?
No. Puukko.fr is not a shop. It is a site of passion, discovery and sharing. You'll find portfolios, stories and tips. If you want to buy, I guide you to the artisans I love (direct links in portfolios).
Who's behind Puukko.fr?
It's me, Philippe, a Jura enthusiast who has been collecting and studying puukkos for years. I write every article and choose every photo with the heart. No anonymous writers here!
Can I sell or have my puukko ?
Yes! If you have a rare piece, a question about a craftsman or a manufacturing project, send me a message via the contact page. I'm responding personally.
Why are the photos so beautiful?
Because I am a photographer myself and I photograph most of the pieces (unless otherwise stated). The goal is to show you the knives as if you were holding them in your hand.
I'm a craftsman, can I have a dedicated article?
A boost to make your know-how and production known? If you are in the field of puukko It will be with pleasure. Contact me for more information.
Is there an English or Swedish version?
Not yet, but if you're a Scandinavian or anglophone and you want to, tell me by email. I can create a bilingual section.
Ready to enter the legend?
So start where you want... But take your time. The puukko is not in a hurry. He's been waiting 2000 years to be discovered.
Thanks for coming.
That your first puukko (or next) or the beginning of a beautiful Nordic adventure.
