Technical details and instructions
Description
This longer Jääkäripuukko 140 is better at hacking through saplings and batoning through firewood than 110. The longer blade isn’t quite as dexterous, but it is still well-suited for most tasks in the bush. It is made from quality carbon steel and has a traditional Finnish puukko blade profile with a slight drop point. This knife isn't designed to sit on a shelf for decoration; it is an honest tool made for hard work. Jääkäripuukko comes in various sizes. Check out the others, too.

Carbon steel blade
All Varusteleka carbon steel knives are made from 80CrV2 tool steel, a trusted choice in Finnish knife manufacturing for decades. This knife has a traditional and proven functional Finnish puukko profile with a drop point. The thickness of 4,2 mm (0.17") makes this a bit more robust than most old-timey traditional Finnish puukkos. The profile is a Scandi grind with a tiny secondary bevel, currently the most commonly used style in Finnish puukkos.
The tang runs all the way through the grip and comes out the back, forming a little knob with a hole in it for lanyards and such. The knob can also be used to hit things naturally.
The strong blade can take a beating. You can use the Jääkäri for batoning without a problem; just don´t hit your fingers unless yours are strong like steel.
Sturdy rubber handle
The rubber grip is somewhat ergonomically shaped but not one of those crazy finger groove things. A small finger guard on the front, a little belly in the middle, and a knob at the back to keep your hand from slipping and also make it possible to use a Leuku-style chopping grip.
