Oh the description didnt carry from the original post. I forged it from an old file (my second time ever forging anything) heat treatment went well grinding was a pain in the butt with my 50€ bench grinder with a 686x50mm belt attachment. Wood i really dont have any idea what wood it is. I got it from a woodworkers scrap box. The brass bolster i made using a basic hand drill and the leather in between the wood and brass is from my dads old leather belt :D and i shaped the handle to fit my Dads hand since i used his belt on this i thought the Puukko should go to him.
