Woodsknife Traditional Puukko Knife 105, dark

The Puukko. Need we say more? Okay, the traditional Finnish knife is used for everything - woodworks, eating, playing catch, and killing your brother. This one has a 105 mm / 4.1" long blade, a perfect all-around size for most jobs, including splitting firewood.

Puukko is the thing we won the Winter War with, among other things. It's the ultimate knife for everything. This is no shit actually - the secret being that puukko is not made to look imposing, but to help you in daily life. It's small, easy to carry, and the blade is well suited for woodworking and other small chores.

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.

Carbon steel is good stuff for knives, but it can rust without proper care. Always clean and dry off the blade after use and remember to oil it now and then (any cooking oil will do just fine).

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 serrated 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.
