Hello and welcome to my RV Unique page.

I am a Bladesmith (Puukkoseppä) from Finland. I love to create things with my hands and knife making has become a true passion over the years to me. No one or nothing is perfect in this world, but I have a huge drive to create products that I try to make as perfect it can be. I always try to learn new ways and techniques to produce better products. Sometimes it's my "Achilles' heel". I need to let go the product and trust it is "good enough". Perfectionism is not always good in this journey :)

As a little boy, I always liked to build things and that has never gone away from me. My first graduation was an electrician. I worked in that industry few years and later I specialized to build and repair phone and optical fiber networks. That lasted six years. Then my way leaded to a big world wide company. I worked in technical support, sales and project management. After ten years, I was drifted too far away from "making with the hands". I was not in the happy place anymore, because inner me shouted something completely different. I decided to quit my job and started bladesmith apprentice 100 km where I live now.

I graduated 2023 and now I'm proud to carry puukkoseppä (bladesmith) title with me.

At the moment, I work full time as an electrician and my side business is bladesmithing. Maybe some day a full time bladesmith. That is my dream and goal.

I have a beautiful family. My wife, daughter and little son are the most important thing in my life. Hopefully I can make them proud of what I do and bring food to the table with this craft. It's all I need and all I want.

As we speak, we are also building our own house. It's heavy job among all the other tasks, but a great journey as well. I believe that nothing good comes for free and hard work will be eventually rewarded.

Thank you for your time to read this and I wish you a great day.
