Skrama – as in Scramasax or Seax, a big single-edged knife popular in Iron Age Europe. Much like the Scandinavian Leuku, Skrama doubles up as a tool and defensive implement. A fine name is always nice, and the best ones are those with some history behind them. Our 21st-century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Iron Age man from "ye good olde days".

This is naturally no axe, nor a precision tool for extremely meticulous work, but something in between and a solid and dependable companion above all.

There are two versions of the Skrama. The older version features a secondary bevel, with the edge sharpened to two different angles: a 25° section near the grip for fine work and whittling, and a 34° angle along the rest of the blade for chopping. The newer version no longer has a secondary bevel. Instead, the edge is ground to a uniform 34° angle along the entire length. Going forward, only the new, uniformly ground version will be available.

One-and-a-half-handed rubber grip

The handle is designed for a "one-and-a-half-handed" grip. The back end gives a good, solid grip and more power for tough chopping action, for which this bush knife is primarily designed. The upper third of the grip is shaped to give you a good feel for detailed work, such as making firestarters. This is however not a miniature model maker’s scalpel and not intended as one, but as any self-respecting Finnish blade, it can be used to carve a proper wooden cock, "Leirikyrpä" as it's known in Finnish military lingo. The knife is rather well-balanced, so the heavy blade doesn't cause problems when whittling.

Skrama 80

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.

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.

Double Sheath

This double sheath is compatible with the Skrama 240 and the Skrama 80 or Jääkäripuukko 85, the small sheaths are identical.

• Weight (sheath only): 240 g / 8.5 oz
• Weight (w. two knives): 890 g / 31.4 oz

Features

• 60 mm (2.4") wide belt loop, fits just about any belt you can find, even those extra-wide military types.
• D-ring swiveled belt loop lets the knife turn on your belt keeping it from coming in the way.
• Snug fitting press-stud strap secured the knife properly in its place. When brand new the strap may seem "short", just pull on it a bit or wet it with warm water and it will soon get a perfect length and shape!
• A grommet for a leg tie at the tip.
• Drain hole at the bottom.

High-quality materials: the leather is 2 mm (0.08") thick vegetable tanned cowhide, strong and sturdy. All attachments are made with numerous strong studs.

Sustainable leather

The leather of Terävä sheaths comes from Pelo Leather, a family-owned Central Ostrobothnian tannery founded in 1897. In addition to producing top-quality sheath and Nappa leathers with a minimized waste of materials and emissions, they are respectful towards the source of the raw materials: the animals as well as the nature in which they live.

Pelo Leather uses elk and yak hides provided by hunters and nomads, and only cowhides that are a side-product of the milk and meat industries. The cowhides come from local abattoirs that have standards for ensuring the wellbeing of the animals. No animals are reared for the purpose of producing these leathers.

Their business quarter is 25 years instead of 3 months and a lot of effort is put into the processes and logistics of the business, to provide a cleaner environment for future generations. We tip our hats at them and are proud to have their leather in our sheaths!
