Best Bushcraft Knife? - Varusteleka Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110 Knife - Review

[@beauchastain9720]

I ordered one of these based on your review. Shipping from Finland only took about a week, and the quality of the knife and sheath are far greater than I expected for the price. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@blueridgebushcraft8294]

I have the 140 and the Terävä Skrama. Love them. Some of the best tools that I have ever used.

[@m__zombi]

My 140 is incredible. One of my favorite knives I own. Well made at a reasonable price

[@kennywheelus6857]

Yes they are brother,they are very stout an tough as hell,mine is still holding its edge retention decently since everything I've put it through.

[@yeshuayahushua4338]

it is 85 euro kids

[@kennywheelus6857]

They are definitely worth the money, I got mine last April, took almost two weeks like it said but got it 5 days early, been impressed with it ever since,mine is 140mm, tough as hell an easy to sharpen when you get your angle right,hair popping sharp.

[@tylerbuchholz3234]

Ordered several times from our Finnish friends. They do have a great sense of humor in their descriptions, and their shipping to the US is around $10. I can't get things shipped from either coast to the Midwest for that. It really is unbelievable, but I like it. Merry Christmas to everyone.

[@flipflat4814]

Not $30 anymore over $40 and around $76 to $81 with the leather knife sheath still a good value.

[@Darrenski]

It isn't made in China anymore so that will account for a lot of that, along with demand of course. And it's still way cheaper than the garberg. As I've got 2 garbergs that I got before I got one of these (first the stainless then the carbon) 'IMO' this is the better knife, and came with a much better edge. So yes it's a few quid more now, but I was happy to pay that knowing it wasn't made in China anymore. Nothing against the Chinese. But I'm not into patronising basically slave labour.

[@huejanus5505]

I have the 140 model. It feels like a much smaller knife as it is so well balanced and ergonomic. A real pleasure to use.

[@mistersmith3986]

Just to let you know. This was the first video I ever saw on this knife and I actually bought this knife based off this video when it came out. I absolutely love this knife. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️

[@sampsalyytikainen6244]

It is still on sale at the varusteleka.com. That is a Finnish webshop, the one that originally ordered the knife into production under their own brand "Terävä". Actual manufactor is Laurin Metalli Oy, very traditional "small" workshop since 1918, mainly focused on knives (puukot) in upper 3/4 Finland, also known as Pohjanmaa. Pohjanmaa has taditionally been the puukko area of manufacturing, most of the known brands come from that area of Finland. Best knives in the world, allthough Mora in neighboring Sweden is also very very good indeed:)

[@mikaelkundert2279]

So did you tried it? Making your first DIY Leirikyrpä, I demand a picture of it! I totally dropped from my sofa laughting loud when I saw that paper :D Greetings from finland!

[@brandona.6337]

Great video 👍🏻, I just ordered 2 of these 110 as well as the 140 along with some other bushcraft outdoor gear from the Finnish store and man , you're right about their prices , good deals on a lot of great products ! Looking forward to receiving my knives and other gear ! Thanks for the review 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻️

[@KISH351]

I received my knife this afternoon. The hype is real. This is my EDC blade. This well made and I can shave with it out of the box. I was only able to the knife first, but I will be getting the sheath. I hope they are still not on strike. I found that out. This knife does everything. The best knife hands down. Kudos to Varusteleka. Bad Ass👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@carbonbased5041]

I like the sound of the channel. Positive, and practical. Keep on the good work. This thing is soo finish. Make a traditional knife that is a: cost effective b: reliable c:practical. Make it 100% functional, don't give a dime for decoration. A machine. And then name it what? Aurora? Stardust? Galaxy? Destroyer? No! Name it "sharp hunter knife". I love it.

[@ellaayoma]

Great review. Got the 110 and it’s everything Luke said. Had to wait a bit for it to come back into stock, but very happy. Prices are a touch higher in late March 2024 (guess what’s normal)

[@lenaevess]

Knives in Finland are usually measured person by person. What I have been taught is that a knife (to be a normal "use it to everything" -campknife or hikingknife) should not be longer than the width or you palm + 1 cm (~1/3 inc). That is also why there is normally a womensknife and a mansknife. They very lenghtwise a bit, so it is more ergonomic for the user. Of course then there is also other lenghts of knife for different purposes and I myself own quite many different size knives as well. Luckily everyone in our family is a bit knifecrazy :D

[@TwiggehTV]

"Luckily everyone in our country is a bit knifecrazy" -fixed :)

[@lenaevess]

Fredrik Dahlström lol thank you :D

[@Embrabrummie]

Thanks for this interesting review. I have the 140 MM bladed version, and have just sent for the same but in stainless steel. I have been absolutely delighted with my knife. I am a great fan of Scandinavian knives, having bought my first, a "Marttiini Lynx", in 1966. It served me well for decades, until somebody stole it. Conditions where I live, Scotland, are similar to Scandinavia (it is not far away) and what works well there, does so here. i have bought other things from "Varusteleka", a jacket, hats and fine leather belt. Quality alway excellent, service first class. What an outrageous sense of humour! I love it.

[@jordy703]

Wow super review was instant in love! I live near Finland so just ordered one! Unbelievable €85 for the 110 with leather sheath!! Amazing knive amazing history amazing price. Thanks!

[@Buster_928]

I just received the 110. Outstanding shipping. Ordered on a Thursday evening and had it in hand on Monday! I had been vacillating between this and the Garburg. I have not had it out in the wild yet so all I've done is a couple of try sticks. Suffice to say I'm very happy with it and am very pleased with this tool.

[@tkyhntr7855]

Thanks for the endorsement. Ordered mine and received it in less than 2 weeks for $8 shipping. Great knife.

[@seanpark1351]

Just bought this knife as well as the stainless steel version. Amazing quality / value! Thanks Luke!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

You are welcome brother, enjoy! - Luke

[@chadberger5826]

Purchased the 140 in carbon steel. Looks like I got in quick enough since it is now sold out again. You weren't kidding about them going fast. Thank you for what you do. It motivates me to get out there. I tend to get lazy with the usual 9 to 5 grind. Once in the woods, I turn into a different person. The trees and rocks seem to energize me. It sounds corny but it really is true.

[@pieroog]

the only thing that I liked more than the 110 was your enthusiasm and sheer energy during the review.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

For clarification to some: Puukko does not equal every knife in finnish. Puukko means hunting outdoor oriented knife. Other knives are called veitsi.

[@steveconquest6684]

You are absolutely correct! I would at least expect this guy to pronounce Jaakaripuukko correctly, but that might be too much to ask. Cheers, Steve

[@joonaskosonen95]

you forgot mora

[@johnnyrushmore2695]

Hello! I just bought one, following your link to Varusteleka! Thanks a lot for the review, it helped me define which knife to buy ...

[@larrykramer6057]

Unfortunately, I suffer from a disease called TMM (Too Many Moras), so I will not be getting the Jaakari. I have dealt with Varusteleka before, and they were great.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Haha I have this disease as well......it can't be cured! - Luke

[@huejanus5505]

TheOutdoorGearReview But the symptoms can be treated with TMP (too many puukkos).

[@aritakalo8011]

the damn things have to go and be damn near indestructible and affordable to boot.

[@MrTrebor3001]

That is a fantastic knife. Just ordered two more of them (23.12.2016) to give them as presents to friends of me. I like your easy and funny stile in this review. Marry christmas and a happy new year to all of us, cheers.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Merry Christmas to you all! 2017 is right around the corner! - Luke

[@puma1304]

this is a tool, not a fancy gadget, an excellent product with lots of tradition, prime budget variant for the Finnish army. With my Mora`s and Helle`s absolutely unbeatable!

[@buak]

That's a tool made for hard use. I have one, and it's the best value in a knife I've ever owned

[@mikeniemi]

Mine was delivered today and it is everything you said it was.

[@LEIFanevret]

🙋🤗🇫🇮⚔️💖 thanks knife friend! For honoring us Finns! And showing good folks this!

[@danielbuehner4273]

I've got a bunch of gear from that page. Their wool hoodie, and softshell jackets are fantastic. I am looking forward to trying more of their gear.

[@blackhawkbushcraft]

Great review and video. Thanks for sharing. The Jaakaripuukko 110 carbon steel is one of my top faves! Love this knife--simple, functional, and solid.

[@ralphbitter3949]

I just got mine a few minutes ago and it is awesome! Sharp too.

[@tommeboy3334]

Only bad thing so far is I am still waiting for mine to show up. Ordered a carbon and a SS 140 and its been almost a month. So all I can do is drool over the reviews that others have done! Thanks though! You make me spend a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ with all of your reviews!

[@truth959]

I have the longer version of this knife. really great knife. better than the garberg.

[@Myyra-games]

Jääkäripuukko=Jaeger knife

[@johannesgrondah3998]

hunters knife*

[@perttutorvinen9180]

johannes grondah while jaeger means hunter, in Finnish it has different meaning, that is an infantryman. Literal translation would be more like light infantryman knife.

[@762rk95tp]

@@perttutorvinen9180 It also means light infantry in Germanic languages, like German, Danish and Norwegian.

[@ronridenour5285]

Great review Luke thank you. Can't believe the price.

[@TheMrWillje]

it's nice to see bigger bushcraft KZbinrs doing reviews of Terävä knives that aren't the Skrama. The Skrama and this puuko are my go-to knives. They're both incredible. if you're looking for a chopper look at the Skrama. it's the best chopper I've ever used. better than the ESEE Junglas.

[@gooldrb]

Great review.... sold me on the value looking forward to getting mine!

[@elvinamillaneam]

Dude that knife looks awesome... I will be ordering one soon after the holidays. ..

[@kloschuessel773]

all gone :D

[@keith3051]

this company is awesome the OGR for ur reviews i would have never found them

[@scoutingfreegermany]

Puuukos have a great reputation here in Europe! Great review, Luke! Cheers, Marc

[@McRuessel]

I will receive mine today or tomorrow in 140 as my own little feast present. I'm really looking forward to it. Merry Christmas from Germany! :)

[@5118eman]

I got the long version & hands down it beats any mora. Great knife & good review dude.

[@philiproseel3506]

5 years on and it’s doubled in price, unsurprisingly. Just got mine today!

[@bark3rISgod]

that is one beautiful knife. I'm not usually impressed by most knives but this one is great. thanks, brother!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

The thing that really stands out to me about this knife is that it's exactly what it should be; it's rough, tough, it's not flashy. It's a tool. It's meant to be used. - Luke

[@bark3rISgod]

TheOutdoorGearReview agreed! For the cost I'm not sure I've seen better. The sheath is outstanding as well. It's on my bucket list for sure!

[@marijanjakolic1408]

All Scandinavian bushcraft staff are amazing! 😀

[@SCQT]

Its certainly up there with the best, when price is considered. Which it should be, imo. Peltonen M95 / M07 is another solid and very similar option, also available from Varusteleka.

[@peteaustin9636]

ill take your word luke .... just ordered with sheath £62.88 to the uk

[@gavingaming123]

Thanks for a very informative and honest review of the knife, have subbed your channel. All the best from Scotland. Garry

[@nickcasolino8903]

4 yrs later, are you still using your knife? Are you still happy with it? Any other issues? Could you give me an update?

[@Unidentifying]

have heard experts say the best knives in the world come from Lappland. saw a nice documentary on it too. The traditional authentic ones are mindblowing pieces of art and of course craftmanship. Also: i just ordered mine :D

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

May it serve you well my friend. - Luke

[@Unidentifying]

Thank you Luke!! I am so happy with it man. A very serious, brilliantly "basic" knife, it feels and lies absolutely perfect in my hand, love the grip.My mom said its rather heavy but what does she know, honestly for me its just right and even on the light side, in total its like its not there but only very subtly, like part of the hand! So mean!! cant wait to use it. Now I have much bigger knives but my brother said "you could kill a bear with that " to my 110 - hes probably right :D The sheath is gorgeous and so practical as well. What a steal. Happy new year and Take care

[@janicaven7889]

Finnish martiini knives have blade nowdays made in italy...so its crap

[@thenextarcher]

Fantastic looking knife... I will really be considering picking one up

[@mistersmith3986]

Okay. My knife came in in Saturday and I can definitely say that I like it better than the Bushcraft Black.

[@Airik1111bibles]

I love this knife especially the 140 just a bit more length for me, gonna really look at getting one after the holidays LOL to broke even for this awesome deal of a price. I like this more than the Mora Garburg and the price is crazy better than the Mora for a much better sheath and grip.

[@San.Marco.il.Viaggiatore]

Just a dope knife!!!👊🏽🔥👌🏽

[@Revelation1316]

I brought the 110 and 140, also got them both in stainless. I definetely recommend the 110 over the 140. I took the 110 to a stone, zero grind, no micro-bevel, and I got the 110 so sharp, its literally like a pocket scalpel. It would be devastating as a self defence blade, although a bit long fro EDC, imo. I studied knives a lot and consider myself an expert on defence, hunting and bushcraft blades, and I've collected for 50 years. This handle design is the best you can get for utility AND defence. Its fantastic and not too girthy either, just right. Randall calls it the 'border patrol handle shape'. All this stuff you see out there on new defence blades is BS. This is as good as it can get, really. Unless you sharpened half or all of the top spine, which isn't legal in many areas anyway, or buy a serious dagger. Plus you have untility which is what you need the knife for the most. I'm sorry to say this tops my Fallkniven F1. Despite being an incredible knife, the F1's handle is fussy and the guard is inaqequete. I which the 110 had a 3.5" blade for EDC and a flat and small pommel for hammering instead of that hook, or none at all as its rusts!

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

Never got around to reviewing mine, but I was able to get one after signing up for email notification. Like you said they sell fast and show up randomly. Get on the email list to be first notified everyone!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

How long have you had yours for? How is it holding up? - Luke

[@brianspencer4220]

Your presentation is very impressive. It looks like a work of art. Merry Christmas Brian 76

[@robbabcock_]

Great stuff! I have the Skrama and my 'Puukko is on the way now!

[@joannekeefe426]

I just ordered the knife! But I got the 140. I hope I'm not sorry. But I looked at it like a survival knife. I have a martini timberjack I also like better than mora! It just has this hand guard on it and seems Slightly more substantial. So I got that its great. But I wanted to kick it up a notch! Even though I'm just a girl and should have even got smaller than the 110. But ya know my area not so safe. Thats mostly why I wanted the big one and I saw a Russian on KZbin break a ka bar. Gosh! Geez! That was sad! So far no one has broken this one! Knock on I'm mean cut on wood! So yeah!!!!!!! I can't wait to get it. Rock on Luke!

[@redwhiteblue7831]

Thanks for the review Luke... where's the coffee... lol it shows how bad we are overpaying for other knives

Your the second person I've seen an heard of their funny package where you have to carve a you know what out of wood,lol,I find it funny too,kinda wished I had opted for the total package with birch wood,but I'm pleased with what I got,you also get options for right or lefthand carry sheath when ordering too,I like that.

[@scumminguk]

just got mine and its sweet, worth pointing out it also fits into a Mora knife sheath. so i can still sit them on top of each other.

[@mikkotoivola]

Have you tried the J.P. Peltonen M95 Sissipuukko? The the one and only ranger knife! It lasts from father to son.

[@perttutorvinen9180]

Great knife, I’ve used it and abused it more than 20 years. Nowadays however, I prefer jääkäripuukko 140. Does almost all the same tasks as sissipuukko, but is more versatile (meaning, it’s more of a carving knife whereas M95 is more of a chopping knife). Both are great knives though and you can’t go wrong with either one of them, depending on personal preference of course.

[@Terwin82]

Just ordered mine! I spent a week here at Pigeon Forge.. spent a few days at Smokey Mountain Knife Works and checked out the TOPS BoB, ESEE 4/5/6 and 4hm, 6hm, Benchcraft Bushcraft, Mora Garberg (All sub 120 btw) and settled on the Garberg , I saw your video and ordered a Puukko instead.. SMKW by the way has better prices than any online website. especially ESEE and TOPS. But not Condor/Mora. Well after much debating I ordered one of these Puukko 110's to replace my Condor Bushlore. I might still go back and pick up a Becker 16 with the money I saved.

[@knurled1]

I have the skrama....am now debating if I should pick up one or two of these....🤔

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Looks like a great value without a doubt.

[@ilesalmo7724]

In the northern parts of Finland traditionally the handle is often made from raindeer bone. Receiving a puukko is a kind of coming-of-age tradition in Finland

[@x0kuu]

Ile Salmo not often its sometimes usually its wood

[@msilverhammer]

Mike Travis at Blue Mountain Bushcraft nicknamed this knife the Mora Garberg killer! I agree with Mike, and you that this is a great knife and sheath, and probably the highest value knife on the market today, along with the Terava Skrama. I have added additional nicknames, and also call the Terava Jakaaripuukko the Native Survival Puuko Knife Killer, the Sospes Knife Killer, and the Feral Woodcraft/Black Feather Knife Killer, as it outperforms the aforementioned $200+ knives designed by You Tube Bushcrafters. All of those knives, and many others, though higher in price, do not come close to the value offered by the Terava Jakaaripuukko! Also... Don't talk too much about the great price, as Varusteleka of Finland may hear you and raise the price. Thanks for the review!

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thanks Msilver! I haven't gotten around to working with the Garberg yet. What are your thoughts on it? Merry Christmas! - Luke

[@msilverhammer]

Luke, I do not have the Mora Garberg, but was referencing a comment made by Mike Travis at Blue Mountain Bushcraft, who compared the Terava Jakaaripuukko to the Mora Garberg. He called the Terava, the Mora Garberg Killer! In the Mora line, I have the Mora Bushcraft Black, the Mora Companion HD, and the Mora Light My Fire knives. These knives are all great, and work especially well for most general bushcraft tasks. I can't see why one would need a full tang Mora Garberg, especially if you had the Terava, which is a much higher value, and very stout, plus some of the other Mora knives, especially the Bushcraft Black. I have other full tang knives that are very stout, and perfect for heavy duty tasks that you would not want to use a partial tang knife to perform. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!

[@craftandnature]

​@@msilverhammer Only advantage of Garberg is really sharp hard steel no nonsense spine. Terava have mediocre spine with soft outer layers. Don't like it so much. I got Terava 110, 140 and Garberg also. Also, I love Garberg end of tang on the back much more than Terava's back ring.

[@ajumbo7762]

Something about how this knife is made seems to have changed since this video was posted. I have handled six or seven examples of this knife in the past year or so, and every one of them has a 45 degree bevel on the spine. It will strike a ferro rod, but only with a good deal of effort and a touch of finesse. I will be squaring mine up soon, because even my old Schrade 3-blade stockman makes better sparks than this knife does. That said, I love the knife in every other aspect and bought it after trying Moras, Jokers, and even an ESEE-3.

[@s1mppeli]

perkele

[@1Selous]

will definitely look at this as a contender against Mora

[@engineeredlifeform]

That's an absolute bargain for $55, I have a slightly cheaper but very similar scandi, a Bahco 2449 'Wrecking Knife', it's got a plastic sheath, but generally can be bought for about £20 (sorry, I'm a Limey) . Mine stays near my stove for turning kindling into feather sticks for fire lighting. Very similar blade geometry and measurements, so I can understand why you love yours, especially in that sheath.

[@natsyrtm4223]

thanks! dec 22nd was my birthday and u reminded me to go check the website to see if there was stock by posting this video been waiting forever finally got one! who knows might not have seen it on my email before they were sold out again.. 30 when i first looked and 27 now. fly off the shelf like hotcakes lol.

got on the mailing list for 110 a& 140 carbons w/sheath when they have more in stock . will be my 2nd bushcraft/camp/fishing knife . my 1st/current is a condor kephart , blade is ok but i want a grippier handle and a much more secure sheath and a steel harder than 1095 without breaking the bank . the VTJ's locking dangler is very handsome IMO and looks solid and 59 HRC . plus scandi is supposed to be the bees knees so i'll get to try several new flavors of koolade , haha . thanks for your videos ;) .

[@juusstube]

Of course, well-made, it is made in Finland for military use, and. Can also be used normally..

[@papaalphakilo7701]

The 'camp cock' thing is an outlet for frustration for the FDF conscripts while on exercises in the woods. Sort of 'see, I'm this cheesed off'' *carving a camp cock the size of the frustration* kinda way. Varusteleka has done a good job carnivalizing some of the quirky traditions of Finnish conscripts. The price is an interesting observation, but that's what I'd say is a fair price for an industrially produced puukko or any other knife that has marginal hand finishing. The raw material bought in bulk don't cost all that much and most of the manufacturing is done by machines with some hand operations. That's why it's such a wonder for me that people around the world charge and pay 100 bucks and more for a serviceable (non-custom, non-hand-finished) knife without batting an eye, since in many cases the price difference is layers of marketing rather than anything tangible. :)

[@762rk95tp]

Also, plastic handle costs next to nothing. Probably the most expensive part of the knife is that leather sheath.

[@paulie4x1]

Luke, My Traditional Puukku is the Stromeng Bhuku STAK Puukku and my Modern Puukku is my Cold Steel SISU it's a close copy of Tapio Wirkkala Puukku, But in the San Mai 3 with Stainless Bolster and Pommel and the Handle is Linen Micarta with a Beautiful leather sheath. infact I have them posted on my Google Plus. ,, .

Has the sheath retention relaxed at all? The sheath is a great deal but the retention seems to prevent a quick single handed draw.

Hi Luke, awesome review. I ordered a few knives from here awhile back from one of the other first videos about this company, I have the MFH Pilot survival knife and the Mil Tec Bolo Machete, they are amazing, i love them both, plan on ordering the 140 in the future. -Jake.

[@jasonsoutthere7733]

I am new to bushcraft and backpacking. Your videos have really inspired me. Now , the bad news is that I am currently poor and broke as hell. What knife would you recommend to me to take out on my meager adventures?

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

Mora is always good option. So is condor. Marttiini lumberjack would be my choice if I started now. If you have intelligence hands I encourage you to buy old knife from a fleemarket and restore it.

60€ + 10€ shipping + 10€ if you want the stainless variant which would come out for roughly 80€ which is around 15€ cheaper as the Mora Garberg + shipping where I live and I guess those two have to be compared. Pretty good deal, although I dislike the ring at the end instead of a more solid pommel like the one on the Garberg, however I like the rubberized handle more than the slippery one of the Garberg. Would be cool to have the pommel redesigned a bit so you could use it too without fear of breaking off the ring, or for the Garberg a better handle and a bit of a reduced price. Both could do with a few more millimeters, maybe around 11,8cm blade length or something because I feel as a full tang knife they are a tiny bit too short to actually make use of the durability benefits of a full tang (compared to a bushcraft black which is way cheaper and sure as heck won't break on you either).
