About Me

My background,  values and goals

Hello and welcome to my RV Unique page.

I am a knifesmith (Puukkoseppä) from Finland. I love to create something with my hands and knife making has become 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 create something 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 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 have a beautiful family. My wife, daughter, little son and dog 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.
