Terävä Jääkäripuukko 140, Carbon Steel

Price 49.99 - 89.99 USD excluding sales tax

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. The Jääkäripuukko is not designed to sit on a shelf for decoration; this is an honest tool made for hard work.

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 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.

Choose the right sheath for you

The Terävä Jääkäripuukko can be carried on the belt, on a vest, or whichever way you may need. The materials are traditional leather and modern Boltaron.

Leather 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 to run through it and out the hole at the end. When drawing the knife, the edge runs nicely between the two leather sides, not cutting it up as 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 be opening and closing the sheath all the time, just remember to snap it shut when you're on the move!

Do not 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.

The words "Right" and "Left" in the menu might confuse some folks, so let’s clarify it a bit. It refers to your dominant hand, not the side of your body. You pull your knife out of the "Right" sheath with your right hand (normal grip), no matter where the sheath is – left side, right side, or on the front. The "Left" sheath goes vice versa.

If, for some reason, you prefer to pull your knife e.g. with your right hand from the right side with your knuckles between your body and the knife handle, only then take the "Left" sheath so the blade edge will be facing forward. Simple!

Boltaron Sheath

Boltaron is a bit like Kydex but offers better performance in the extreme ends of use temperatures. This sheath allows carrying the knife on your belt, on the vest, pack, or anything with PALS webbing.

Suitable for RH and LH users and apart from military applications, these also work in outdoor and everyday use. The clips are sold separately.

A few words from the designer

The basic idea for the Jääkäri was very simple: to make a functional knife with all the pros and none of the cons of a traditional Finnish puukko. A traditional puukko is fine, but the rat tail tang, wooden grips and floppy sheaths are not exactly the most practical designs anymore. So we made the blade strong, 4 mm thick, and with a full tang that goes all the way through the grip. The handle is shaped for a good grip and made from rubber.

The basic leather sheath is nothing like it's wildly swinging ancestors, this one is made with a sturdy turning belt loop and a press stud to secure the knife in place.

This is not rocket science really, but just a simple good puukko for real use. Nothing fancy, works like a charm!

Vajaa puolet vuoden varusmiespalveluksesta Jääkäripuukko on killunut tetsarissa ja puukko itse ei ole antanut tuumaakaan periksi. Terä on kokenut uskomatonta rääkkiä, kuten oksaisia, hiekkaisia tervaskantoja ja toiminut ruuvimeisselinäkin hädän sattuessa. Kaikesta on kuitenkin selvitty kevyellä hiomakiven käytöllä. Pahin vastus oli kuitenkin pizza, josta jäi terään laikukasta jälkeä, ei meinaa millään lähteä pois. Täytynee ajan salliessa korrolilla tms. kokeilla. Käyttöä ei laikut kuitenkaan haittaa.

Tuppi kuitenkin antaa tuuman tai kaksi periksi. Talven kuolonpakkasilla ryynäyksen jälkeen huomasin että mustaa väriä irtoaa (?) noin peukalonpään kokoisina laikkuina. Tod.näk. osunut johonkin syöksyessä tms. Myös neppari on löystynyt hieman käytössä, kuitenkaan ei huolestuttavasti, ainakaan ihan vielä.

Kaikenkaikkiaan hyvä no-bullshit puukko, tehty käyttöä varten ja käytön se kestää. Puukosta 5/5 tähteä, tupesta 3/5, keskiarvo 4/5.

I love it. Sharp as hell, solid, and rough.
I have the 14 cm one, and I can comfortably cut any wood I need (except too thick fuel), as well as do other works that might need more sharp.

I'm just happy with it.

Excellent knife.
It is a practical, no-nonsense, sturdy, though knife and I love it for those features, but wait, there is more!
The balance and the grip are good, the angle on the spine is enough to use a magnesium rod with, and it comes very sharp, sharp enough to shave the hairs of my arm, hell you can probably shave with it. Better than the moras and co. that go for more than 200 €. No really, this is better made, thicker, sharper, more comfortable and overall more balanced.

Also, aesthetically, these look like they can take a beating and come around for more, the look and feel of it just begs you to use it for every task and not stored and treated like a museum piece. It is the kind of knife that eats tacks and shits barbed wire.

I love my 140. It arrived razor sharp and in perfect condition. The thing that I love the most is the heft in the hand, it's 4mm thick!! It gives the knife a reassuring feel that it can take whatever abuse you can throw at it. The point on my knife wasn't a perfect symmetrical grind but I don't see that being an issue. I could only get the knife without the sheath (sold out) but curiously my mora companion sheath fits the knife quite well and will serve as a temporary home for the blade. So to sum up- if you want a great knife for a ridiculously low price then look no further than the 140 or 110.

This is a sublime knife for just being a sturdy tool! The shipment was very fast, from Finland to Sweden in three days, which is faster than the Swedish postservice for domestic deliveries. May you have success and fame with this prince of knives, my Leuku being the king of course,- which complements each other as meant by the destiny. Super sharp from the package and the sheath is on another level, for being both smart and of the best and good quality. A must-have for any outdoor person or enthusiast of cutting tools and weapons. Now I have inspiration to bush-craft in the multicolored and beautiful Northern autumn forests. Peace out y'all.
