Blade Traditional and proven functional Finnish puukko profile with a drop point.
The thickness of 0.17 makes this a bit more robust than most old timey traditional Finnish puukkos.
The grind is a scandi grind with a tiny secondary bevel currently the most commonly used Finnish puukko grind. The strong blade can take a beating you can use the Jääkäri for batoning without problem just dont hit your fingers or the rubber handle those are not strong like steel. 80CRV2 CARBON STEEL AND HEAT TREATMENT All Terävä carbon steel knives are made from 80CrV2.
The thing is that this is really nothing fancy or special just a very good tool steel which can take a beating and offers good edge retention.
80CrV2 has over the decades earned a reputation as a solid and reliable steel especially for our purposes. The heat treatment we use leaves the surface of the steel softer approx.
52 HRC than the inside 59 HRC.
This functions a lot like fancy differential heat treatments giving the blade added strength.
The surface is very resistant against any microscopic fractures or other blemishes this results in virtually zero problems caused by material defects! When the blade is ground the harder inner steel is revealed even though the outer surface is only 52 HRC the actual edge is 59 HRC.
This is also why we grind bevels onto the sides of the spine otherwise the spine corners would not be hard enough to strike sparks from ferro rods! Carbon steel requires care: if your knife gets wet in the bush dry it the best you can.
Never store the knife without drying and oiling the blade. Grip The rubber grip is somewhat ergonomically shaped but not one of those crazy finger groove things.
A small finger guard on the front a little belly in the middle and a knob at the back to keep your hand from slipping and also make it possible to use a Leuku style chopping grip. The tang runs all the way through the grip and comes out the back forming a little knob with a hole in it for lanyards and such.
The knob can also be used to hit things naturally. Leather sheath is sold separately! The sturdy dangler leather sheath is built with a roomy plastic liner traditional Finnish sheath construction style.
The liner is roomy enough for water and crud to run through it and out the hole at the end.
Around the mouth of the sheath the leather is folded double forming a strong and stiff wide band this band is closed tightly around the grip using a press stud.
When you pull out the knife the edge runs nicely between the two leather sides not cutting it up as is a common downside of the traditional sock style puukko sheaths.
Even without closing the press stud the sheath retains enough tension to keep the puukko in place so around camp you dont need to be opening and closing the sheath all the time just remember to snap it shut when youre on the move! Do not force the knife out of the sheath without opening the press stud! Although this can be done it is not good for the press stud in the long run and may damage it.
Just open the snap before pulling out the knife. Its best to oil the snap fastener once in a while to prevent it from becoming stiff and nasty.
