Skrama - as in Scramasax or Seax, a big single-edged knife popular in Iron Age Europe. Much like the Lapland Leuku, it serves many purposes. A cool name is always nice, and the best ones are those with some history behind them - our 21st-century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Iron Age man from "ye good olde days".

Heart of Skrama is the blade

The Skrama blade is slightly curved with a sheepsfoot tip. The curve helps to rock the knife on a cutting board when cooking. The blade is sharpened to two different angles. Near the grip, a 5 cm (2") portion has an angle of 25° for whittling and fine work. The rest of the blade has an edge of 34°, which has proven to be excellent for this type of chopping blade.

When splitting firewood, you can beat the back of the blade with another piece of wood; the knife is designed to withstand this. However, don’t beat it with rocks or other things that are harder than wood. The full-tang blade ends in a lanyard loop. With the handle molded over, it's really not going to loosen or come off.

The hole in the blade serves production purposes - it is used when tempering the blades and later during other steps of manufacturing. Of course, you can come up with your own uses for it too, but most importantly, it is there for a purpose, not for decoration!

Skrama 200 or 240

Welcome to the world of choices. We try to help you with two sentences: Skrama 200 comes out when the regular knife is insufficient, and Skrama 240 replaces the machete.

Leather sheath

You can buy the Skrama 200 with or without a Finnish-made leather sheath. Like the knife itself, it's designed to be functional and simple, and its material choices and workmanship make it a long-lasting companion for your knife.

  • Finnish 2 mm ( 0.08") vegetable-tanned cowhide
  • Skrama Plastic Blade Cover inside
  • 6 cm ( 2.4") wide belt loop
  • D-ring hinge to allow movement
  • Retaining strap with snap fastener
  • Leg tie grommet at the tip
  • Drainage hole in the bottom

Sustainable leather

The leather of Terävä sheaths comes from Pelo Leather, a Finnish family-owned Central Ostrobothnian tannery founded in 1897. In addition to producing top-quality sheaths and leather with minimized waste and emissions, the company is respectful of the source of the raw materials: the animals and the nature in which they live.

Pelo Leather uses moose and yak hides provided by hunters and nomads, and cowhides, which are a side product of the dairy and meat industries. The cowhides come from local abattoirs that have standards for ensuring the well-being of the animals. No animals are reared for the sole purpose of producing these leathers.

Their business quarter is 25 years, and a lot of effort is put into the processes and logistics of the business to provide a cleaner environment for future generations. We are proud to have their leather in our sheaths!

I ordered a Skrama as an "edc" working knife and it arrived today well packed within 3 days from finland to germany with DHL Express and a Deliverer which was afraid of dogs and nearly want to flee while our small puppy runs happy against him ;-) Great sharpness, good handling at the first view. No rust anywhere (but I know some small rust could happened, but its not a big deal), everything is very nice. I´ve got german military handshoe size 9 and the handle fits good in my hand - with or without handshoes. Everything else I´ll see in the next time while I work with it and use it in the woods or building nice gardens. I put it with the plastic sheet in one of the famous british bayonett frogs and it fits. I own a lot of real men knives, but I think the Skrama200 will become one of my first choices also offside work. I think this wont be my last Terävä knife but maybe the last Skrama200 which I use to buy. I think my grown children could use it further after when I´m gone. I´m very happy with the Skrama and the whole transaction. Thanks a lot and a heartly hail to Finnland! Horrido and now lets work with it till the sun goes down or the wood is empty, but I think this will not happen in the forest ;-)

This thing is amazing. It is a great chopper but can also do some fine work for you. It's not terrible at food prep, either. I bought the British bayonet sheath for it and it fits amazing, and was far cheaper than the leather sheath. Plus mounting on the pack makes more sense with that system. If you are out in the woods, run a sled or four-wheeler, get one of these and stash it on your pack. It's the best 'survival' blade I can think of, and trust me, I have/had a few!
