Being a Finnish speaker, I would say that "puukko" in Finnish means a particular kind of knife, basically the same as you call puukko. Knife in general is "veitsi" (hunting knife: "metsästysveitsi", chef's knife: "kokkiveitsi", folding knife: "kääntöveitsi" etc.)
@apsifiable3 жыл бұрын
@DTL Probably. This is one of those things "I know it when I see it". But I think your definition is close. I think that maybe a scandigrind blade is also a requirement to fulfill the definition. I suddenly find it amusing that me as a native speaker can't define the difference between a puukko and a veitsi. But I seldom, if ever, use the word puukko in daily life, since I am not into the traditional looking domestic (or nordic) knives. In a nutshell, puukko is a particular subcategory of veitsi.

In one forum I described it as small a knife with a scandi grind blade. Typically puukko blade has a straight back, sometimes a bit of clip point style just to help you to take your coffee pot out of the campfire. The traditional handle material is curly birch as DCA stated.
@hippitukka3 жыл бұрын
@DTL Five-inch is a rather good definition. Often puukko knives with 5" or longer blades are called Leuku. Although Marttiini's shortest leuku has 4.3" blade and their longest puukko blade is 5.1" :D
@whengrapespop57283 жыл бұрын
@DTL A “puukko” is the Finnish name for a Finnoscandian knife design (Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden). The Norwegian name for it is a “tollekniv”, derived from he Old Norse word “talguknifr”. It refers to a general purpose knife that people would carry as a tool to do all sorts of tasks throughout the day. It doesn’t mean “knife”, because a “knife” could be a chopper as well (like the Sami Leuku, which also was used throughout Finnoscandia). People would even use the knife as a utensil to eat their food with, but it typically used for fishing, hunting/skinning, farm work, carving, whittling and as a self defense or offense weapon.

I agree, Mora knives are good knives, especially for the price. I do think they should ditch the micro bevel they put on their knives though and stick to a traditional Skandi grind edge. The miro bevel edge is harder to sharpen adds extra resistance to the blade edge when carving, and it doesn't hold its edge so well in my opinion. I regrind my Moras to have a true Skandi grind and then they are awesome.

I use the Morakniv Companion HD and it was an okay knife when it came, but with a few tweeks it became a good knife. I drilled a lanyard hole in the handle, I ground the spline flat for use with Fire steel, added petina to the Carbon steel blade using Yellow Mustard and Q-Tips to give it the look I wanted, as well as to help protect the carbon steel in wet conditions. I also re ground the blade edge on both sides, removing the micro bevel the Mora uses, so that it now has a true Skandi grind edge, and I can tell you it is a much better blade with the micro bevel gone. For the money though its a good purchase considering the quality and cost and after you put your own touch on it, you will im sure appreciate it even more!

The Finn Wolf is a great folding knife option for a scandi grind blade. My big complaint with it though is since it is a folder, the handle/scales digs in to my hand to the point that it's really uncomfortable when doing wood working or carving tasks with a lot of force. A fixed blade doesn't have that problem by comparison because the handle is completely solid and doesn't have a big cavity in the middle to make room for the blade when the knife is closed like a folder does.

Still searching for a "perfect" 3" D2 or AUS8 flipper with comfortable/thicker G10 or FRN that's relatively quick/easy to deploy, with either a frame lock or liner lock with around 50% contact at the tang.

As my “collection” of knives of all shapes, sizes, costs, and materials will testify my long and apparently shallow learning curve has bounced me around the world of camping, bushcraft, hunting, and fishing knives*. I have yet to encounter a situation that my hatchet, folding saw, SAK, and Mora Classic 2(c)** cannot handle, but I have spent a season on Alone. 😀 Any of these wonderful knives could be someone else’s very satisfactory substitute for my Mora. * I have never had a need for a “tactical” knife. I always thought a firearm would be a better choice. And, try as I might I just don’t understand what a “survival” knife would accomplish that most any other knife would not. ** I’m toying with idea of replacing the Mora with a larger folding knife. I have tested the original SOG Tomcat, the Lionsteel TM1, the KaBar Mule, and the Cold Steel AD10; but, I keep coming back to the traditional Buck 110 (brass & natural scales) then the question, which variant? I now have 11 different traditions Buck 110s (a new one arrived today) and one modern aluminum & carbon fiber lightweight. Waiting on a 2nd Lionsteel from Knife Center, but this one will not capable of replacing the Mora - it is just a cool looking knife.

You presented very remarkable knives. I personally spend most of my time in the woods. I would never buy a knife because it easily ignites fire with the sparkler, these are trivial toys. Besides, nowadays there are lighters and even a storm. I have noticed that most of the suggested Bushcraft knives have Scandinavian sharpening. It's a big mistake, we all know the typical ease that you turn the Scandinavian edge into a saw. The only thing Scandinavian knives can do well is process wood. I do not think that someone who lives and experiences situations in the forests needs sparklers or will ever sit and peel sticks. In the forest away from extraterrestrial steels, a "round" stainless steel like 440C that is easy to sharpen and holds its edge very well and with a length of up to 11 cm is a good choice.

I think scandy grind knives only works for removing alot of wood,making wood flat. Not good at notching,slicing,presision cuts or cross cutting.The scandy grind is also weak and fragile and dulls easy. They are also best sharpend on a larger stone,who can be heavy to carry into the woods.They are also allmost allways to thick in the stock,also most of the Mora's is to thick And i am from Norway so dont give me any crap. It is a bad allround knife in the woods and in general in my opinion. I prefer flatgrind as a allround knife and the fav,is convex edges,i like saber grind for lateral strenght. I use scandy grinds now and then,but then i prefer a handforged Norwegian Tollekniv of some sort or my Brisa Nessmuk,it is a high scandy edge in 80crv2 steel. Norwegian knives has allways been triple laminated blades. I have the Cold Steel Finn Wolf in blue. I also usally pick blue because the lack of it outdoors,besides some flowers. God knife,but a little to thin in the grip sometimes when used on a harder task. But plenty strong. Often Helle knives is a little thick in the blade and low on the edge,so not a fan of those eather.And a crisp spine is really not thing that matters much. It's a new thing. Not a thing that matters much to me or bushcraft tasks. You have a edge or a axe or the backside of your saw or the SAK or a scraper for your ferrorod if you use one. I prefer flint ans steel anyway.

Very nice group. Surprised the Tops Tanimboca puuko didn’t get some table time. Probably over the price limit though. Gotta get that Martin Reindeer knife though….very nice! Thanks for the video

Hello, great film, where can I get the condor bush law knife?

I am amazed that people will dump $200 or more into a mass produced, production line knife that looks the same as everyone else's. There are a lot of custom Blade Smiths that will craft what you want at better quality and much more pleasing to the eye. Their prices may in some cases be a bit more $ but the materials can be upgraded or made in utilitarian grade. Just an observation. Mora anything is about the best cost to quality ratio.

hey DCA, im after a modern traditional folder with a roundish tip? ie as little pointy as possible. needs pocket clip and some fidget factor. Also a fixed blade for 90 percent food prep and 10 percent camp uses. budget is loose but everything here in Australia costs near double! Thanks

I like the cold steel Finn hawk but I think cold steel is really missing a great opportunity. They're already setup to produce this knife is other steels. If they came out with the Finn hawk in 3V at even triple the price, I don't think they could make them fast enough.
