Product description

A leuku is a traditional larger outdoors knife used in Finland for ages, it's used for those jobs that require less finesse, chopping stuff, and carving sticks into stakes, etc. This "Big" leuku is truly worth its name, giving it excellent chopping power for heavy use!

Features

80CrV2 carbon steel blade (59 HRC), which is very good for puukko style knives because it is easy to sharpen and retains the sharpness quite well. The knife has a beautiful curly birch handle. The sheath is of the traditional Finnish style, wet-formed leather, fitting snugly over the handle. 4-6 cm (1.6" - 2.4") wide belt hanger.

The blade length is 180 mm (7.1"), width 27 mm (1.1"), and thickness 3 mm (1/8").

These types of traditional knives have been around for ages, and for a reason: they are rugged, simple and practical. They have been used as weapons almost as much as everyday tools, at least in the past. Still today they are an essential piece of kit for any outdoors enthusiast. What makes a traditional puukko and leuku special compared to modern blades is that they have no saw-edge bullshit or anything like that - you have a simple, strong, and sharp carbon steel blade with a wooden handle. This truly is all you need, if you know how to use it.

Made by Harri Merimaa / Woodsknife Oy, made in Finland.

Warning! Before buying, please make sure that these are legal to import to your country! We take no responsibility if the customs officer confiscates your precious knife!

Solid knife. It performed an array of camping tasks and helped clean and butcher several grouse with ease. As noted, the handle actually becomes more grippy with moisture. The sheath is quite tight on mine, but the leather will ease with use. It is a great combo of form and function and at this price it can’t be beat.

I thought the price was too good to be true and I don't understand how they can make a profit with only charging ~$100 Canadian. I bought a much smaller but similar knife in Sweden and was impressed by the workmanship and quality of the knife, though I spent twice as much (~$200). The feel of this knife is hard to explain, but it just fits. Its almost like the handle was made specifically for my hand. It has a good weight for the size and so far has worked well in general camping tasks. The edge was sharp when it arrived and it had no sign of dulling or folding since using it. This is a great gift for any outdoorsman. I would say that I would buy more products from Harri Merimaa but I feel that this knife will be passed down to my son/grandchildren.
