Finnish Blades and Kits

Important Update: Due to the recent outrageously high cost of tariffs levied by our government, I am not going to be able to restock any of these blades from Finland. My recent shipment came with a surprise and unexpected additional fee that totaled 70% of the shipments value. Most of my previous orders were typically under $800.00 to the manufaccturer  and were exempt from tariffs. This exemption was deleted recently and all orders are now taxed...excuse me, I meant tariffed.  Even more frustrating is that UPS International cannot explain how this fee was calculated but would not release this shipment without being paid .  Unfortunately, I cannot absorb this additional cost

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa	Puukko Blades from Finland NorthCoast Knives is proud to introduce the Progression Tempered Puukko  (A). After several years of research and development, Lauri of Finland has perfected the process by which the spine of this amazing blade is tempered to a utilitarian hardness of RC52 while the edge is hardened to an absolutely amazing RC63. This revolutionary process gives you a  hard working blade that is not only durable, but will hold a razor sharp edge longer than anything you now own. Hardware is presented to allow you to construct either the guard or ferrule style. 7 1/2" overall with a 3 3/4" blade Traditional Puukko Blades Super sharp, durable and hard working, made from Swedish high carbon steel, hardened and tempered to an RC60 edge. Two sizes: 9 3/4" overall with a 5" blade (B) and 8" overall with a 3" blade (C)

	Synthetic Spacer OK, OK, it's really Corian, but I've been seeing more pictures recently where makers are using this hard material in place of natural products. Makes sense. It's harder and more stable than horn or buffalo but still works nicely with all of your existing tools. Provided as 1 1/2" x 1" x 1/4" thick. Available in white and bone color
