Terävä jääkäripuukko review

these dreams turned into concrete ideas. There is a shorter version of the knife from Varusteleka depending on what your personal needs are, but going forward, I will only be discussing the longer design.
Dimensions and Appearance
One first notices the straight back design, making it perfect as a tool used for chopping, slicing and carving.
Experience has taught me that tools the size of a knife can be easily stolen or disappear during a move. Eventually, you start to learn that no two knives are created equal and begin to develop a taste for what features in a blade really matter at an individual level. the Finn-Savotta factory in Estonia.
We're now offering a free digital copy of the OffGrid Outbreak issue when you subscribe to the OffGrid email newsletter. Combined with the fairly unique differentially sharpened blade you pretty much get two knives in one, making it easy to both chop firewood and make kindling with it.
The blade comes in both carbon and stainless versions, which is fantastic.
The leather sheath of course has the plastic insert in it already.
But after Lex spent some time using it and then resharpening it, he pronounced "I think this is one of the best production survival knives I've used -- great steel and edge profile!"
I also used it during a one week camping trip in the Uinta National Forest in Utah on the way back to Colorado from Rabbitstick and it proved to be a great general purpose camp knife.
Like with the Skrama it comes in both carbon and stainless steel versions. Sticking to simplicity is often wise, but a surprising number of manufacturers somehow manage to botch their sheaths up completely.
Personally, and depending on what pack I am using, I carry it either in or inside of the side pockets of my backpack, or sometimes inside of the pack.
This caused a market for military-styled puukko knives like the J.P. This too fits well with traditional Scandinavian grip design, which is good to see.
While not as unique as the Skrama, the Jääkäripuukko is a more than adequate knife that is very easy to like. Here, I have only tried the carbon steel versions of both knives though, so all data and experience presented here refers to that.
Sheaths come in both MOLLE and in leather versions, both with the same plastic insert protecting the outer layer of the sheath.
In one word: Awesome.
So, being so excited about the Terävä Skrama, what is the Terävä Jääkäripuukko like? I also used it to baton pieces of wood into small pieces for use in my Solo Stove.
The 140 managed all tasks with ease and the edge did not require any touch up. The Terava performed excellent during this task. Using the ninety-degree spine with my ferro rod, I was able to start a fire by throwing huge sprays of sparks onto the tinder.
They are also the only known retailer offering Swedish commando underwear, of which I am a happy owner.
The various sub brands of Varusteleka all share the same goal: To offer affordable but quite satisfactory quality products that compete with high-end brands, aiming for the mid-range market, but with most products meeting the requirements of Finnish military specifications and even produced by Finnish military manufacturers, e.g.
Although it's a Scandi grind, from a splitting perspective, the way the Terava is ground is similar to the SRK's Sabre grind which helps to wedge the wood open as it passes through the log.
I also split several other small logs and large branch sections off camera and had the same results (i.e.
