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.
