Product description

A very small and handy little puukko knife for home and wilderness for all DIY folks. Easy to carry, great for all those detailed tasks, and sturdy as hell. Make a wicked cool handle from wood or more exotic materials or wrap a simple yet comfortable Paracord handle. If you don’t need to battle fierce cave trolls, this works perfectly as your primary knife. If you like ‘em bigger, take one of these as a spare one.

Use

A bigger knife isn’t always better. Usually, a very small bladed puukko is just the tool you need for most tasks in the wild. For heavier chores, you can then use an axe or a big Skrama. It is also wise to carry a spare knife in case you manage to lose the primary tool. This is also perfect for opening packages, peeling oranges, whittling this and that, and any other common tasks at home. And one of these could also be nice in the toolbox of your car.

Blade

Just like our other Jääkäripuukkos, this knife has a drop point puukko-style blade profile, and the spine is ground and beveled to strike sparks from ferro rods. You will be thankful for this when your clothes and matches are wet, the sky is falling, and you need a warming fire.

Save money on the sheath and handle and figure them out yourself! I love these Terava line of knifes from Varusteleka: good steel for cheap and sharp as sin when you get it. I've paid 3-4x the price for knives from reputable brands that were disappointingly dull when I got them, but never a Terava. Came wrapped and taped up tight in a few layers of cardboard which was a relief as I had other items in the package that I worried might get poked if it came loose. First, I waxed the metal on the handle and wrapped it with paracord, was a quick 15-20 minute job at the most. After that, I made a DIY leather sheath, and while I am no expert leatherworker, I think a simple leather sheath quite compliments the rugged appearance this little blade has to offer.

Excellent knife all around. If you want a slim handle for it that still allows it to fit into the leather sheath, just slide some heatshrink tubing over the tang and hit it with a heatgun or torch. Sand it a bit to give it some grippier texture, and cut away some of the bulkier peaks to allow it to slide into the sheath easily but snug. Makes for an excellent survival kit knife or as a companion blade for something larger. I currently use some bicycle tire inner tubing to keep it secured to my Jääkäripuukko 140 leather sheath along with a Wästikivi Pieni Kaulakivi stone and a ferro rod. I'll definitely be buying a couple more of these in the future to stash around in various bags and kits.

I dropped it and sank Yokuda. I am sorry Redguards. Very sharp. Science fiction sharp.
