Who can make a pugio handle?

[Virilis]

Salve!

I have re-shaped completely my Deepeeka pugio blade. It was like a shovel! I also ripped of the original handle-materials but making a new handle is beyond my capabilities/tools. It would be good also to make the handle a bit "thinner" (as you can see from very faint black lines on the photo). Is there anyone out there who could make this within a reasonable price?

I think if you can do that you certainly have the talent to make the handle. Looks Great! But for some reason I dont think this is the traditional pukko! :wink:

Hi Virilis,

I think in Europe Maarten Dolmans from Artemisia is a good person to ask. I know he makes excelent pugios.

I think he just registered to RAT today, Maarten if you're out there can you confirm this? :?

Vale,

Thanks guys, I´ll wait for more suggestions!

Paul, this really isn`t a traditional finnish "puukko" :wink: . I suggest you have some finns living nearby?
