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.

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.

Sheath or no sheath?

You can acquire Varusteleka Jääkäripuukko 85 with a sheath, with a plastic blade cover, or as is. If you like to make your sheaths, just get the knife. If you want to protect the blade but don’t want to carry the knife anywhere, just get it with the blade cover. If you want to carry the knife, your options are the blade cover with a belt loop, a Kydex sheath, or leather sheath. Or get the combo: the knife with a leather sheath.
