Skrama 200 is a versatile heavy-duty bush knife for chopping, splitting, and whittling. This modern-day Leuku can chop branches and poles, prepare firewood, and gather evergreen twigs for camouflage or sleeping on. It is more than a knife but lighter than a machete, above all a solid and dependable companion that is comfortable to carry on your belt.

• Modern leuku for outdoors
• Sturdy rubber handle
• 200 mm (7.85"") full-tang carbon steel blade
• Made in Finland
  

Skrama - as in Scramasax or Seax, a big single-edged knife popular in Iron Age Europe. Much like the Lapland Leuku, it serves many purposes. A cool 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".

Heart of Skrama is the blade

The Skrama blade is slightly curved with a sheepsfoot tip. The curve helps to rock the knife on a cutting board when cooking.

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.

When splitting firewood, you can beat the back of the blade with another piece of wood; the knife is designed to withstand this. However, don’t beat it with rocks or other things that are harder than wood. The full-tang blade ends in a lanyard loop. With the handle molded over, it's really not going to loosen or come off.

The hole in the blade serves production purposes - it is used when tempering the blades and later during other steps of manufacturing. Of course, you can come up with your own uses for it too, but most importantly, it is there for a purpose, not for decoration!

Welcome to the world of choices. We try to help you with two sentences: Skrama 200 comes out when the regular knife is insufficient, and Skrama 240 replaces the machete.
