A very small and handy little general-purpose knife with that sweet sheepsfoot blade profile familiar from bigger Skramas. Tough, easy to carry, and great for all those small tasks that you come across most often. Get one of these to accompany an axe or a big choppa. Made in Kauhava, Finland.

Use

This small blade is very easy to take along wherever you might need one. When out in the wilderness, it is good to carry a smaller knife for all those more detailed tasks and a large Skrama or axe for heavy-duty stuff. 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 Skramas, this knife has a sheepsfoot 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 a textured over-molded 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.

Sheath or no sheath?

You can acquire Varusteleka Skrama 80 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.
