Forgotten Weapons Jääkäripuukko 140, Carbon Steel

Price 49.99 - 86.99 USD excluding sales tax

One of Varusteleka's most popular products is of course Terävä Jääkäripuukko 140. Now you can also get it with the Forgotten Weapons logo! This is not one of those crappy collector’s editions that can only sit on a shelf though; this is an honest tool made for hard work, just like all Terävä knives.

Jääkäripuukko 140 might be a bit "clumsier" than Jääkäripuukko 110. On the other hand, the long blade makes it a bit better at chopping through saplings and firewood. Quality carbon steel, traditional Finnish puukko blade profile with a slight drop point.

General features

  • Medium-sized general-purpose utility knife, a solid choice for most situations.

Blade

Traditional and proven functional Finnish puukko profile with a drop point. The thickness of 4,2 mm makes this a bit more robust than most old-time traditional Finnish puukkos. The grind is a Scandi grind with a tiny secondary bevel, currently the most commonly used Finnish puukko grind.

The strong blade can take a beating, you can use the Jääkäri for batoning without a problem, just don't hit your fingers or the rubber handle, those are not strong like steel.

80CrV2 carbon steel and heat treatment

All Terävä carbon steel knives are made from 80CrV2 tool steel, a trusted choice in Finnish knife manufacturing for decades. The heat treatment leaves the surface of the steel softer, ~52 HRC. This creates a tough exterior to protect the blade. As the blade is ground, the harder (~59 HRC) inside is revealed and improves edge retention. The spine has ground bevels for striking Ferro rods.

The blades have blemishes and stains due to the manufacturing process. These are harmless and can be removed if they bother you.

Care of a carbon steel blade

Carbon steel is easy to sharpen and maintain - you just have to remember to do it. If your knife gets wet in the bush, dry it the best you can. Never store the knife without drying and oiling the blade. Cooking oils are fine for this purpose.

Grip

The rubber grip is somewhat ergonomically shaped, but not one of those crazy finger groove things. A small finger guard on the front, a little belly in the middle, and a knob at the back to keep your hand from slipping and also to make it possible to use a Leuku-style chopping grip.

The tang runs all the way through the grip and comes out the back, forming a little knob with a hole in it for lanyards and such. The knob can also be used to hit things, naturally.

With or without a sheath

You can purchase this knife without a sheath or with a right- or left-handed blackleather sheath. The sturdy leather sheath hangs on a 6 cm (2.35") belt loop and is built with a roomy plastic liner to let water and crud run through it and out of the hole at the end. When drawing the knife, the edge runs nicely between the two leather sides, not cutting it up, which is a common downside of the traditional "sock" style puukko sheaths.

The sheath retains enough tension to keep the puukko in place even without closing the snap fastener, so around camp, you don´t need to open and close the sheath all the time, just remember to snap it shut when you're on the move!

Don’t force the knife out of the sheath without opening the press stud! Although this can be done, it is not good for the press stud in the long run and may damage it. Just open the snap before pulling out the knife. It's best to oil the snap fastener once in a while to prevent it from becoming stiff and nasty.
