Steel and heat treatment

80CrV2 carbon steel is used in all our carbon steel knives. The thing is that it´s nothing special really, just really good tool steel that can take basically any beating and offers great edge retention.

The heat treatment we use leaves the surface of the steel softer than the inside. This actually functions a lot like fancy differential heat treatments, making these knives very tough.

The heat treatment and softer surface are also why we have added the bevels to the spine, a simple polished spine was not enough for use with ferro rods but with these little bevels that uncover the inner, harder steel we get a spine that strikes ferro rods really well!

Description

A 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. This set includes the knife and belt clip blade cover.

Made in Kauhava Finland, the region that has long traditions in puukko knife making.

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 and handle

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.

Very 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.

Plastic Blade Cover

A simple plastic blade cover for the Skrama and Jääkäripuukko models with a regular handle.

The blade covers fit the corresponding blade length. Bare Tang versions can be inserted but due to the lack of a rubber handle, the fit will be loose and the knife won't lock inside.

The blade cover with a belt clip is designed for up to 40 mm (~1.6") leather belts or thick canvas belts. The clip can be mounted without opening the belt and it can be configured for left or right hand carrying without tools. Made from strong steel wire.

Made in Finland.
