A very small and handy little Skrama-like bare tang knife, or neck knife if you will. Perfect for all those DIY folks. Make a wicked cool handle from wood or more exotic materials or wrap a simple yet comfortable Paracord handle. Easy to carry and great for all those small tasks that you come across most often. A perfect match for a bigger Skrama or an axe. This set includes the knife and a leather sheath.

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

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.

DIY handle

This knife has a very durable full tang blade. The tang comes out of the back, forming a little knob with a hole for lanyards and such. The tang is bare so you can make the handle of your dreams or leave it as it is. Make the handle pieces from a suitable piece of wood or combine antlers or some other beautiful materials. The bare tang has 8 mm (5/16") holes for attaching the handle pieces.

In case you don’t have the possibility to make a hard handle at home but would still like a DIY handle, the answer is Paracord. In the video (see photos), we’ll show you how to make a pretty and functional handle quite easily.

Leather Sheath

A simple black leather sheath for a simple knife. Minimalistic and purpose-built; keeps the knife safe and can be attached to clothing and gear in multiple ways.

The sheath is fitted for the Bare tang knife and knives will only fit with the tang bare. Adding custom handle plates or wraps will require modification of the sheath. Modifications will void your right to return the sheath but we still stand by the quality i.e. if there's a warranty issue that's not related to your modification, we'll take care of it.

Made from a single folded piece of leather with an additional strip of leather protecting the stitching. The top of the sheath has a simple attachment point for lanyards, key rings, carabiners, etc. for securing and carrying the sheath.

Made in Finland.

Sustainable leather

The leather of Varusteleka 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 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!
