BEST knife of 2023! This does EVERYTHING! Rokka Korpisoturi Puukko

We've tested many puukko's... we've tested many military knives... yet we have never tried a military Puukko Knife! meet the Rokka Korpisoturi. A knife made to be both good at bushcraft and tactical purposes. While the materials used scream modern it actually uses a lot of traditional things like a double heat treat where the spine is around 50 HRC and the edge around 63 HRC... traditional Puukko design and a true high scandi grind! let me give you a spoiler.... this knife is bloody amazing!

[@vanq86]

I think somebody left a second audio track on at the end, thought I was hearing my inner Mickie

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

hahahahaa!

[@reanimerendoejezonlEnschede]

😂😂😂😂

[@HeizerNo1Paraguay]

Thank God I am not the only one who heard that. I first thought I got the wrong pills again 😅

[@keithmeech9510]

I like it. More inner Mickie.

[@Mo.89.]

I thought my wife is also watching the video next to me I was very excited!

[@vanq86]

Never clicked so fast

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Ok ok guys, its time to review the G O A T, J.P Peltonen Sissipuukko(ranger knife). The influence to Jääkäripuukko and to this. My most versatile blade. Thx for the review!

[@Darrenski]

And many years older than both

[@dwaynewalker986]

I'm very surprised to have heard a category for the knife's handle being cold to the hand. As a person who routinely hunts during the winter , the importance of a knife's handle not robbing warmth from the hand (even through gloves ) cannot be overstated . Excellent

[@lonewandererbushcraftwildc6822]

I agree any exposed steel in the handle & you will definitely feel it in the cold as steel really does absorb alot of heat from the body making it very cold to touch

[@gearberserker9979]

Is it just me? The audio at the end of the video seems to be overlapping? Great knife, I bought the black version, the only drawback that can happen is that after a long period of use the material of the handle can cause the knife to loosen at the point of contact? Maybe due to aging? it does happen, to a small number of customers, but not to all.

[@alfonsedente9679]

Somebody was high while editing

[@Leightr]

Oh good, It's not my computer, someone else heard it too.

[@Dikkeboomstam]

I remember the days you guys got super excited about the benchmade puukko. Seeing new knives like this one and the BPS knives beeing so good and so cheap is crazy. Mostly crazy that such an old tool is still being innovated so much. Also perfectly classic DBK video, well done!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thank you so much Remi!

[@DL-ij7tf]

I think this Roku knife is actually older than the Benchmade, I remember seeing it on Verusteleka while looking at the Jakkarriippuuukkkooo

[@Dikkeboomstam]

​@@DL-ij7tfright, so DBK is lying (;

[@ColdestRage303]

Terrible knife. No handprotection at all. Looks like a sharp overpriced Mora. To small. Also it rusts. As knife for militairy use i rather would buy a Muela Scorpion 26g, Muela 5161 or a Glock knife.

[@DL-ij7tf]

Well I'm not going to cross reference the ages of both knives but I know it's years old, I saw it on Verusteleka probably over 5 years ago.

[@mrdarren1045]

That's a really nicely balanced design. This seems as close to the ideal knife as you can get. And the price just makes it a no brainer.

[@kvl777]

It would be great, if you'd compare this knife to Peltonen M95/M07. Same steel, same shape, but different sizes and, maybe, a different heat treatment plus teflon coating of the blade.

[@ukaszpokszan3481]

Wreszcie. Czekałem długo aż weźmiecie ten nóż na warsztat. Szkoda, że w Polsce jest niedostępny. To co Finowie zrobili z tej stali budzi mój podziw.

[@seleye963]

I remember asking for this to be reviewed months ago, glad you got to it 🙏

[@JonathanRobinson11]

Another awesome video! Thanks for the fun time. So glad you guys are doing 'Food Prep' category now.

[@kenobiworks]

Oh and the additional Kydex sheath you can get for these are extremely good! Almost the same as your DBK sheath! It's much better than the standard sheath you get with it... ✌️🤘

[@TheNessmuk]

Thank you DBK I’m getting one!

One of my favorite channels. I’ve got several Bark Rivers after watching. Saving for a Rockstead now. Have you ever heard of Randall made knives? They are about 10 miles from me and have a 6 year waiting period.

[@stonemonkey1968]

So glad to see this tested as I was in two minds weather to get it or not. Superb knife for the price ❤️

[@lizsteeds6697]

Hello Mikkie and Maarten, hope all's well with everyone/thing. What a great blade, for sure. As far as the ending sounds, hey, when you're "happy and you know it" and you're out in the woods, "JUST BEAT IT, just beat it"!!!😂 Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 🙏😇👊

[@thymii6946]

Great video overall! Good looking too.... I mean the food

[@isaiah_b_3798]

The Terävä Jääkäripuukko uses that steel too and it’s awesome.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

the jaakaripuukko is amazing for the price

[@LEIFanevret]

Got the terävä jääkäri! Its a beast!

[@petrimakela5978]

I'm a knifemaker, but Korpisoturi is the one bought knife I have and it lives on my combat kit. I just can't match that blade with my heat treatments.

[@agungh1670]

Sharpnes like that only can reach by very good tempering, for me tempering is more dificult than hardening, maybe just me

[@TheAnonymousSword]

I have the 80crv2 and the N690 and what they did with the N690 is crazy as well. 60 Hrc but ground to a scandi with only a microbevel and it even holds up cutting Bamboo without microchips, haven't tested a knife with that acute angle in this steel that was able to achieve this. I think they make very good knives.

[@TheAnonymousSword]

Hey guys I own both the 80crv2 and the N690 version of this knife and even the N690 holds up extremely well for such a simple stainless steel. I would really love to see this knife in magnacut, anyone else?

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Rocking the 1986 East German haircut I see...knife looks like a winner.

[@The4cp]

When a knife is just done right

[@IvIidnight]

I would love to see y'all test the Hogue Extrak. It's a skinning knife, super thin, but it is made of cpm-m4. I am honestly just curious to see how far it will make it, just maybe do the batoning last. I expect it to break there, but to excel at everything else. Maybe a great companion knife to an axe.

[@NandoKleijn]

The end talking, super!

[@JCRF]

Time to review the Peltonen Sissipuukko, same blade steel as this and is also Finnish military knife just like the jaakaripuukko made by a Finnish military veteran

[@OldForestBushcraft]

Yes, Have sais that also. That is Original, the pioneer knife design. My most versatile blade..

[@Playloudstube]

As a matter of fact, Juha-Pekka Peltonen is a Finnish Army reserve officer who has served UN Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon.

[@gregherrera2409]

That sounded crazy at the end👀

[@Shooter11B]

I got one of those last year and mostly;y love it, EXCEPT for the handle. I wish it came with micarta or G-10 scales.

[@alainbelso]

Looks like a great knife. Nice find! BTW the audio at the end of the video was all messed up in cases you didn't notice.

[@WarRadish]

Nice.

[@kurtdavis4514]

Maarten”s impression of an American having to buy something bc it was made in America was spot on! And made me laugh a lot! BTW - I am an American. Thanks for keeping it real (and entertaining) ! Well done DBK!

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I wish you guys would review the new Bark River Mini Gunny in Magnacut. I just got one and haven’t been able to take it out camping yet. I think you guys might like it and I’d like to see you guys do your regular comprehensive testing. You guys push way further than I do when testing the knives. I think Mickie might really like the Fox River Ext-1, it has the Gunny handle with a more drop point blade, I got mine is S45VN but they just released one in Magnacut and it has more of a high scandivex or sabervex grind. Thanks again for another great video and thanks again for the hopes and dreams of winning the give away.

[@topselectionsurvivalgear]

Looks like a really tough knife 🔥

[@Dad_K]

Maybe a dumb ask, but could you upload a Short on how to maintain the Rhombic Scandi grind on this? Your sharpening videos are the best!

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

thank you ryan! We're not doing any shorts at the moment but it might be a good idea!

[@razbiton173]

@@DutchBushcraftKnives yo guys never do shorts its awkward and off putting. Please keep it with long and entertaining videos!! Cheers

[@pseutube]

Great video as usual the audio mixing was messed up in the end which was a surprise

[@vicfigueroa6369]

I love it I need a knife

[@kenobiworks]

I've had mine for a couple years know... its been a GREAT knife! However 2 points from a long term user.... the rubber handle at the front part does get in the way a bit. Also the Metal tang and the rubber handle have opened a little forcing wet or water into the handle. 2 things to note from a long term user! But other than that it's a fucking winner! I also bought the stainless Bohler steel version and it chipped very easily on wood use day 1 but I regrind it on the Ken onion and its better than it was brand new! Keep doing fucking awesome vids lads! 👏 👍👍

[@max_ljv]

BTW; if you prefer a classic leather sheath, I can tell the Marttiini Timberjack's (24€) sheath fits perfectly on the Rokka knife. Also, the alternative original alternative kydex sheath by Rokka themselves (you can get it from Lamnia) is a good alternative to the original Kareline sheath. They all have their pros and cons, the alternatives are good for dangling from the belt. The Kareline sheath is at its best when attached to tactical gear, but a little high mount for belt use.

[@Winnie_Grett]

this is a valuable information that can only be obtained from the Knifecommunity. Thanks a lot for this. I've also posted random sheath fittings to you guys in the past. Thank you.

[@max_ljv]

@@Winnie_Grett Oh, almost forgot, the Rokka also fits quite well in the Peltonen Sissipuukko M07 leather sheath as well. (Not in the Sissipuukko plastic sheath, that has a too narrow mouth.)

[@Winnie_Grett]

@@max_ljv great. Thank you very much.

[@michalchvostac7514]

Are you sure it's made by Rokka? I have the kydex sheath, but i thougt it was made by trc

Hello ! Love your videos 🙌 What t-shirt is Mikkie wearing? Looks like merinowool with good cut desing.

[@korgan7779]

Yeah, seems like a great knife! Question though: Is it still considered a "Factory Edge" after you strop it?

[@hilltop9524]

DBK, you should do a review on Cold Steel Finn Hawk and Finn Bear. They're cheap, in the 20-something range, and especially Hawk (Scandi grind) has a factory edge that you could shave a mosquitos balls with. Best budget knife I've seen so far.

[@bradfarrahgerwing154]

I doubt they will waste time with 4116 Krupp and plastic handles......I have almost the entire collection of them for camping beaters and loaners.....good cheap knives but not worth a review.....4116 is a decent cheap,commercial knife steel but nothing to write home about

[@flooorwalker]

You guys are dope

[@DSP990]

Since you`ve done some KA-BARs in the past, I just saw that there's actually a KA-BAR by Spartan Blades in Magnacut.

[@naali2769]

I like it a lot, and because im finnish, i have to have one :) ..i prefer this over the terävä jääkäri. I think i would like it to have more dangler type sheet, like traditional finnish puukkos... And yes its really a bang for your buck.

[@razbiton173]

but you can buy 2 jaakari for the price of this one... for same steel. why do you prejer the rokka one ?

[@naali2769]

​@@razbiton173 well thats a good question, i think this is prettier than terävä, handle suits me better... and that heat treatment with 2 different hardness. Terävä is good knife though, and its like indestructible :)

[@jakqup]

Boys, friendly reminder- we still waiting for fully dutch episode, with english subt. :V

[@Gman1024]

Looks like a winner, but is it fifty bucks better than the jakkarripukko, I'm thinking probably not. The double audio at the end messed me up, haha, I listened to it twice, so I could hear what each portion was saying. I like the Rokka.

[@timothywitt9031]

Mikkie. You gotta drop the mullet. It wasn't great the late 80s, and it still isn't. But I love the great humor and knife videos.

[@adamtwelve]

too bad it's already sold out, i was excited to see the price isn't too high but you guys must have given it the hug of death lol. edit: nevermind 5 seconds on google and i found it elsewhere in stock for cheaper even, really considering picking it up! love your videos guys, you always make them entertaining!

[@diruelas]

Great video, however I thought that the Fallkniven F1X Elmax was the sharpest you all have tested at 86 grams?

[@jezgdavies]

Would you choose this 80crv2 version or the N690 version as a first / only bushcraft knife?

[@Waldschrat22]

Thank you Dbk! Do you now, i had a Problem with a Knife-Reviever her in Germany, because i wrote a coment in his Knife - Videos that i now Carbon Steels they will be better Performance than N690 Steel....he insult me, sayed i am a Child,( i am a 50 years old Man) and i have no Idea about Steels...so, i am glad that you recommend this Knife.

[@Lancelot.666]

It did look laminated. 😮😮

[@SCRAB331]

this one or mora garberg ? which one is better all around ? thanks

[@celiamenes143]

What is that cooking surface you guys use?

[@Cid_1]

Man I been hoping you would test this knife for a year now, and here we are. I knew you would love it. I know they recently released one in N690 also, but for me N690 isn't as interesting as it's very picky on heat treatment (especially on a bushcraft knife). I'm sure most us have had N690 knifes that just is pure garbage, to shockingly good (like on Extrema Ratio knives). But for me personally I don't think I have had a 80CrV2 knife that was "bad". But I'm curious to see how Rokka did with the N690 as they seem to really have the heat treatment part down. I also really like their mix between modern and traditional style and materials.

[@thomasecallaghan1111]

I wish someone would review the N690 Rokka. I'm not sure that it's double heat treated like the 80CrV2 version.

[@TheAnonymousSword]

Hey guys, I own both the 80CrV2 and the N690 Rokka and I can say that the heat treatment is the best I have seen yet on an N690 Blade! It has the same grind on both knives, the rhombic scandi with a barely visible microbevel. The N690 is not hardened differentially like the 80crv2 but has an hrc of 60 throughout. Both excell in cutting wood, as they should. I even tested both blades on bamboo and they didn't receive microchips, which isn't unusual for 80crv2 but this was the first knife in N690 that has held up to this test when ground to such an acute angle. So yes, I think they absolutely nailed the heat treat on my N690. I really would love this knife to also be available in Magnacut and see what they could get out of this Steel.

[@topfueljunkie100]

​@@TheAnonymousSwordThanks for sharing this! Exactly the kind of info I'm after! I love that you did some edge stability testing looking for microchipping on hard material like bamboo. I was worried that the N690 wouldn't be as tough as the 80CrV2 (and it isn't from a metallurgical and materials standpoint) but it sounds tough enough for the intended uses and the extra benefit of being stainless is welcome.

[@topfueljunkie100]

​​@@TheAnonymousSwordI meant to also say that I'm further glad you shared this as I've been seeing more and more N690 being used and I've been curious as to its performance. It seems to basically be 440c with some additional cobalt, nothing too crazy. Heat treat is everything of course. And I too would love to see this knife in magnacut with an exceptional heat treat! That would be amazing!

[@l1gh7warden]

Hi guys, compared to a TRC South Pole, which one would you pick as a go to knife ?

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Guys, great knife, I'm so surprised there's not more, bushcraft designs in particular, with a "high" scandi grind. Price; fair enough, cant complain. Though, a couple of points if I may; Looks a good steel choice, especially with the dual HT, but certainly not ideal for my climate i.e. I expect its not gonna get on too well with salt air/water and occasional high humidity thrown in. A very high ride "out of the box", so a dangler or scout carry would be much preferred IMO. Btw; I really appreciate that you blokes are still using fine "telephone book" paper for testing, its become quite a challenge to find these days. Cheers Duke.

[@max_ljv]

I recommend the N690 version for your climate, and also get a Marttiini Timberjack (26€) and use its leather sheath; that's a very good dangler sheath for the Rokka. The Kydex sheath (at Lamnia store) is a lower-hanging design than the Kareline sheath shown here, but not a dangler. 80CrV2 will develop rust almost immediately if left in a wet sheath (or smth), but you can clean it away with metal polish paste or maybe even with oil. Or just dry them thoroughly every few hours in the field and they'll hold their shine well.

[@nevillesavage2012]

DBK! You should check out the Japanese Hori Hori knife. Could it be the ultimate Bushcraft knife?.....I bought one with hardened stainless steel.

[@max_ljv]

Rokka has this one model only, for now. You can get it in two colours, two different sheaths, and with an alternate blade made from N690 stainless steel at HRC 59. (Those are available from Lamnia store. I wish the sponsor Varusteleka also had them in their stock, but they don't.)
