Features

80CrV2 carbon steel blade (59 HRC), which is very good for puukko style knives because it is easy to sharpen and retains the sharpness quite well. The knife has a beautiful curly birch handle that is stained to a darker finish. The sheath is of the traditional Finnish style, wet formed leather, fitting snugly over the handle. 4-6 cm / (1.6" - 2.4") wide belt hanger.

• Blade length 12 cm (4.7")
• Blade thickness 3 mm (0.12")
• Total length 25 cm (9.8")

Carbon steel is good stuff for knives, but without proper care it can rust. Always clean and dry off the blade after use and remember to oil it now and then (any cooking oil will do just fine).

These types of traditional knives have been around for ages, and for a reason: they are rugged, simple and practical. They have been used as weapons almost as much as everyday tools, at least in the past. Still today they are an essential piece of kit for any outdoors enthusiast. What makes a traditional puukko and leuku special compared to modern blades is that they have no saw-edge bullshit or anything like that - you have a simple, strong, and sharp carbon steel blade with a wooden handle. This truly is all you need, if you know how to use it.
