Much like the Scandinavian Leuku, Skrama doubles up as a tool and defensive implement. A fine 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\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is naturally no axe, nor a precision tool for extremely meticulous work, but something in between and a solid and dependable companion above all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two versions of the Skrama. The older version features a secondary bevel, with the edge sharpened to two different angles: a 25° section near the grip for fine work and whittling, and a 34° angle along the rest of the blade for chopping. The newer version no longer has a secondary bevel. Instead, the edge is ground to a uniform 34° angle along the entire length. Going forward, only the new, uniformly ground version will be available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne-and-a-half-handed rubber grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is designed for a \"one-and-a-half-handed\" grip. The back end gives a good, solid grip and more power for tough chopping action, for which this bush knife is primarily designed. The upper third of the grip is shaped to give you a good feel for detailed work, such as making firestarters. This is however not a miniature model maker’s scalpel and not intended as one, but as any self-respecting Finnish blade, it can be used to carve a proper wooden cock, \"Leirikyrpä\" as it's known in Finnish military lingo. The knife is rather well-balanced, so the heavy blade doesn't cause problems when whittling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJääkäripuukko 85\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very small and handy little puukko knife for home and wilderness. Easy to carry, great for all those detailed tasks, and sturdy as hell. If you don’t need to wrestle with abominable snowmen, this works perfectly as your primary knife. If you like ‘em bigger, take one of these as a spare one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Kauhava Finland, the region that has long traditions in puukko knife making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade and handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery tough full tang blade with textured overmolded rubber grip that isn’t slippery even when wet. The tang comes out of the back, forming a little knob with a hole for lanyards and such. Although the Jääkäripuukko 85 has a shorter handle than its siblings, it is still just the perfect fit for the human hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDouble Sheath\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis double sheath is compatible with the Skrama 240 and the Skrama 80 or Jääkäripuukko 85, the small sheaths are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (sheath only): 240 g \/ 8.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (w. two knives): 890 g \/ 31.4 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 mm (2.4\") wide belt loop, fits just about any belt you can find, even those extra-wide military types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD-ring swiveled belt loop lets the knife turn on your belt keeping it from coming in the way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnug fitting press-stud strap secured the knife properly in its place. \u003cb\u003eWhen brand new the strap may seem \"short\", just pull on it a bit or wet it with warm water and it will soon get a perfect length and shape!\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA grommet for a leg tie at the tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain hole at the bottom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality materials: the leather is 2 mm (0.08\") thick vegetable tanned cowhide, strong and sturdy.
