Knife-making workshop with a local smith
In this workshop you make your own Finnish puukko knife the traditional way, guided by the Johkula smith. You choose a blade and shape the handle from curly birch and reindeer hide, and the smith shows you how to finish and sharpen the knife. While you work, you hear stories from the smithy's hundred-year history.
