The puukko knife master, famous Finnish knife maker Jukka Hankala is a delightful rarity in the stone-hard company of Finland's great knife crafting experts.
Hankala's skillful hands form traditional puukko knives such as Toijalanpuukko and hunting knives as well, but what's atypical for a Finnish knife maker is that his repertoire includes folding knives.
Hankala's knives, having won multiple awards during his career, are not mass-produced. Every knife by Hankala, whether a traditional puukko, a folding knife or a hunting knife, is forged by hand, a unique rarity, and therefore the target of the relentless attention of knife collectors.
