The Puukko is hands down one of the best knives I have ever owned for it is a pure user-knife. There is no fluff and no nonsense in the design. The sheath with the plastic insert and lock button is perfect and should be used in more knives. The rubber grip has a very comfortable shape were other knives should get some inspiration from, I use my mini skrama and puukkos for carving and never had any blisters - in contrast to other handles. the blades shape and the 80CrV2 steel in combination with a perfect heat-treatment is perfect for carving and general outdoor use, it might dull easier than some super steels but this steel takes a very thin edge and keeps it without chipping or rolling when using it even in harder woods or on antler/bone etc - which is one of the most important features of a survival tool. Also 80CrV2 sharpens like a dream - I have used slate I found outside to get mine back to sharpness. All these features in combination make these the best all around budget bushcraft/survival knifes out there. Dave Canterbury said about the Garberg that it should be a one tool survival option but I think the Varusteleka Puukko fills this role way better for the above reasons.

[@TheAnonymousSword]

@Ryan Boswood cool, I hope you will have fun using it.

[@TheAnonymousSword]

@Ryan Boswood Hey Ryan, my miniskrama has a full skandi, which I sometimes just microbevel in the field on a fällkniven fine ceramic cc4 so that you cant see the bevel and flatten it at home on dmt stones for they always stay flat. The puukko 110 and 140 have a microbevel at 15 dps which have a completely convex transition into the secondary grind. I cant tell you exactly how thick the primary grind is, but it still cuts very good. To determine the optimal geometry on a knife i do an initial regrind to the geometry I would deem stable for the knife and then use the knife in ever increasingly rough tasks that it might encounter. If it fails(microchipping) I take back the angle of the primary grind a little and blend the bevels(if i have the patience), otherwise I just thin it out until it fails and then repeat the first process. I love a sharp knife in the field and this gives me a sharp blade and the confidence what stress It can withstand. I never take out a knife I haven‘t tested before.

[@cyantadeo975]

@@TheAnonymousSword hey there, when I got my 110 pukko I used some 120, 220 and 400 sandpaper to make it a true scandi, I’m not a big fan of microbevels however I’m aware that if I chip the edge it’s going to be a pain in the ass to remove

[@svensvensson627]

Well written. Agree 100%. And yes the sheath is incredibly good

[@dobypilgrim6160]

The Tervava sheath is special. Way better than any of the Mora sheaths, and indeed as much as the knife. And it's worth it.

[@dash8465]

I have the Garberg in stainless, HC and two Terava’s, one with a scandivex, the other standard micro bevel. The Garbergs are nice, definitely cant go wrong there, but l’ll take the Terava every time. There’s something about its handle and location of the edge relative to that handle, the control and precision it bestows is excellent. And for some reason putting a highly convex edge on it really makes it come alive as an amazing wood knife, whereas the regular/original edge is a great all-arounder. It also comes in a 6” version.. a must have for more intense shelter and fire wood chores (more spine to hit with the baton).

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

[@MercyMinister]

Thank you for a well-done comparison. I do not have the Mora Garburg, but have had the Terava Jaakaripuukko 140 for several months. It is the best bushcraft/utility knife I have ever owned and I have over 100 knives. I can recommend it without reservation.

Knives from Finland are constructed to be useful in extreme cold weather. Hard plastic handles, like some of the Moras have, are not very comfortable to use in the cold nordic winters. The handle of Mora 2000 is great. You should check out the JP Peltonen knife from Finland, it is just fantastic!

[@williamwalworth5193]

I have numerous Mora knives and have given plenty to people as gifts. I usually carry a Kansbol hanging from the chest strap of my hunting pack because it is so light and handy. Up to now I have ordered the Jaakaripuuko in 140 carbon with sheath, two 110 carbons with sheaths, one 110 stainless with sheath, three 110 carbons without sheaths, and two Skraamas with sheaths. I like the Terava products a lot.

[@wani2000]

I own the mora bushcraft, puuko and garberg and hands down favorite is easily the puuko. It's also very easy to sharpen and I've been splitting firewood and starting my furnace with it for years now. All it needs is so stropping to keep sharp. It is however very prone to rust but thats really the only downside. The sheath for the puuko is great aswell, very stylish and it can be used for stropping while in the field. Get the puuko, it's the only knife you'll ever need for bushcrafting and surviva, and it's insanely cheap for what it can dol.

good informative video, its a shame you did not get the leather sheath for the Jaakaripuukko, it is seriously the best leather sheath I have ever seen for any knife! Pressure fit with plastic liner, locking side snap, pristine quality veg tanned leather that has been folded over at the top and a very nice finish, highly recommended!

[@paarkour83]

It costs as much as the knife itself 😂 no Matter how good it looks I would never ever

[@tvmcrusher]

@@paarkour83 It is a functional budget knife made from a nice carbon tool steel, useful only if kept from the elements by a proper sheath and semi-regular application of oil. Both the sheath and the knife I got 5 years ago are still in great shape, veg tanned leather is a really nice material that you can't usually find this cheap, same as with the tool steel: If you take good care of them they could both outlast you.

[@paarkour83]

@@tvmcrusher but as a survival knife, do I always have to carry oil in the wild ? And is it easy to sharpening it in the wild ? Like if there is a crisis and you have to live in the wood. Is it possible to take care of a carbon knife in the wild for long? Or is stainless better for that 🙏🏼

[@tvmcrusher]

@@paarkour83 Good questions, I like it. If you did proper maintenance beforehand and needed to survive without any oil it might become a problem after a month working in frequent heavy rains, the sheath and good old 80crv2 is to thank for it lasting that long. There might be some surface rust on the blade eventually but usually it will not extend beyond the temper, leaving some resin from dry core wood on the blade would also help protect it during long spells of nasty weather. Our ancestors would try to secure access to a variation of natural oils/fats for purposes of tanning, woodworking and metal treatment, but for shielding a carbon blade from corrosion and rust even tallow would suffice, making sure it doesn't contain too much moisture by heating it first. Sharpening and stropping will be easier with carbon than with almost any stainless steel, at the same time the edge will wear quite a bit slower than with most non-vanadium stainless steels with daily maintenance. Stainless is truly great for the corrosion and rust resistance it possesses and a must for many who venture near or into salt water frequently but the trade off is the potential warping of the edge under high stress use, it cannot be tempered as well as carbon because of the high chromium content so it tends to warp rather than break. These same harsh use conditions are often present in a survival scenario so I would consider bringing both carbon and stainless, then try to maintain the carbon blade as a primary tool (mostly) as our ancestors did and save the stainless for light use in harsh conditions and especially for salt water, diving knives are usually marine grade stainless steel containing chromium and molybdenum. What kind of steels do you prefer?

[@jordy703]

The sheath of the Jakaripuukko is excellent and for me better than the Garberg because its open en doesn’t have a flap around the knife.

[@MutsPub]

The thicker, full tang Garberg and the Puuko are in totally different leagues, compared to all the others shown. I own all of these shown knives. Steel, handle, sheath, overall value, the Puuko 110 or 140 win in my book.The not shown leather sheath on the Puuko is worth the price by itself! Very tough to beat at this price point. $54-KaBar Kraton Mark 1, maybe? The Garberg handle needs to be "reversed" and made symmetrical for comfort and safety. Very stout knife for sure. I was disappointed in the "feel" and shape of the handle. FYI - The Leather sheath is interchangeable with the old Buck 105 sheath - Ebay Mora Black - Tough to beat. $31 - Amazon as of today. Plastic sheath. A $30 Mora 2000 would be my pick for "light weight" carry (preferred handle over Kansbul). Some don't like the blade geometry? A $20 Mora companion HD should be thrown in the mix also. Finn Bear - Razor sharp, 4116 steel, handle to short. My palm ~3 3/4" wide (~9.525cm?). Hultafors - Blade to short for such a large handle, sheath will not go on belt without "mod", designed to clip on "button". OK4 (I paid ~$22 From UK) great grip, better choice and sheath, much smaller though. Take ANY one of these aforementioned knives combined with a SAK Alox - Pioneer, Pioneer "X" or Farmer, Silky Saw, Fiskars X7 or X11, some "knowledge" and most "campers" will be perfectly fine, just about anywhere, at a relativly low cost and weight. Sorry for the ramble. Thanks for your hard work and the Info!!!!

[@sweetcostarica8714]

Sorry *MutsPub* the Terava Jaakaripuukko is an enclosed full-tang knife. It is a good choice for an inexpensive knife if you want a tough, hard-use knife over a Mora.

[@MutsPub]

@@sweetcostarica8714 100% Agree. Nothing against a Mora; they are good choices as well. Shoot, you can get a Companion HD for ~$20. But, it is not going to perform as well at processing wood as a Terava, for sure.

[@tcj2185]

MutsPub I absolutely agree, the sheath alone is worth the price, love the knife.

[@MutsPub]

​@@tcj2185 I literally just ordered 2 of the 110's yesterday for gifts.

[@MutsPub]

@winstonS The Terava 110, Mora Bushcraft Black and Forest are interchangeable; All in either sheath; like a glove. These Mora's fit the Terava 140 also, though it is a bit to long of course. The Garberg fits in the Terava sheath; not the other way around. But, it does NOT lock with the snap and rattles quite a bit. You can add "shock" (1/8" bungee cord) to dangler and the knife will not fall out. I add the cord to the Terava sheath anyway so it does not "flop" around as much and still is very flexible on belt. Basically, the Garberg just "press" fits in and out with the snap closed. You could do it I guess; I just tried it and it does work; but rattles if you shake it. Hope that helps?

[@joshuamoses1631]

There's no decision to make, the jakkari puukko is a better knife over all. The steel, the handle, the sheath. And above all that, the price. What else is there to consider. Jakkari wins hands down.

[@TheWtfnonamez]

^This I love Mora, and I love Finnish knives, I own loads of both, I have no bias here. But the jakkari puukko is hands down, an absolute beast. Usually Mora wins for value for money at any price point, but when it comes to the jakkari puukko, take the puukko. Its practically indestructible, does everything a knife of that size should do, AND its cheap. I was so impressed I bought a second one.

[@Dkclemons1]

I got my Garberg for 55 USD not long after they came out. I really like it so far. I took off the micro bevel but put it back on after your edge test on it. I use the Basic with a full scandi if I just want to carve. I honestly don't need a full tang. I've beaten the crap out of my Mora Robust (which I would love for you to review) and the thing won't break. I've seen plenty of full tang knives break during normal testing but I don't think I've ever seen the Robust or that Hultafors break.

[@AaronIsaak47]

Such a good review man youre on top of your game. That finnish blade looks real comfy and gives Mora a run for their money. I ve been using a Condor micarta Bushlore lately in 1075 which is pretty tough steel with a micro bevel as it works suprisingly well as a mild chopper on green vegetation. A task none of these puukkos do very well. I would hate to see you put it through a manila rope test though, I dont reckon it holds a candle to these two blades. Ah well youve peaked my interest got my eye on both those knives now. Great work youre the Aussie knife review king.

[@calvinlewis8924]

I have both knives and really like both. Although some people are turned off by the Garbergs handle It really has a great feel to it and grows on you. If prices are a concern go for puukko. Can’t go wrong with either.

[@LilBlighter]

Definately best bang for your buck is that Hultafors GK Heavy Duty. Does almost everything the others can, it's incredibly strong and at £6 in the UK, you can have 20 for the price of one Garberg.

Yes its a great tool, but becomes blunt very quickly. That's one issue but easy enough to solve.

I ordered the puukko 140. Based on reviews. After getting the martini condor timberjack from finnland I knew I wanted another one from there. I'm not going to baton my martini. But from what I can gather my martini timberjack is very comparable to the mora bushcraft black. I don't have a skrama but I do have the condor duku mini parang. Can't wait to get it! Yeah!

[@Airik1111bibles]

I've found the grind from belly to the tip on the Garberg stainless to be a bit to small and thick. I think the carbon edition seems to have a bit more size of grind from belly to tip. I love my Garberg and have used it a ton but one thing that bugs me is when doing detailed notching that thickness gets annoying. I've actually thought about turning it into a full convex and think if it had a Bark River style vex grind it might be a great blade. Totally agree man price is a huge deal..

[@jeffreydustin5303]

[@martyoutdoors6172]

[@jamieofalltrades536]

The simple "barrel" style handle on the Garberg is intentional. It is designed that way to make the knife more versatile, because you can hold it any way you want without your grip being compromised, or causing hot spots. The handle on the Terava is a bit more limited in that respect. I do prefer the longer blade on the Terava, though I think both could use another 1 1/2" - 2". The end of the tang on the Mora can be used as a small but handi little hammer as well as a fire steel striker while still in the sheath. The Mora was really well thought out, most people who buy it dont need it for what it was designed for and there stems most of their complaints about the knife. Dave Canterbury was in my opinion very accurate in his statement about the Mora Garberg. I don't own a Terava Pucco, but it looks like a decent knife, especially for the money.

[@christopher_martin]

Jaakaripuukko is the better knife but i still love mora! Jaakaripuukko has better steel and more of it 80crV2 is a very very tough steel

[@muskett4108]

110's leather sheath is a great addition, makes the package even more attractive. Better than Mora's offering. They are really excellent. Both Knives do the job but as I have other higher end knives in this category I have 110's as share and spare knives. A 140 too. And just because they aren't flash or expensive they both get loads of use. Sorry Garberg but not the same bargain. I've broken two Hultafors, but then I was abusing them. Fine for the tool box, but not for a real adventure. Get yourself a Skrama and review that. I like what you are doing and would like to have your take on my favourite reach for, big utility, all round knife.

[@schlooonginator1227]

Ver fair comparison. One of the few knife reviewers who openly prefer stainless. My only beef with stainless is I suck at sharpening and find carbon steels much easier to sharpen. Love the Jaakari Puuko. Easily the choice for anyone just getting into the bushcraft/survival knife scene as it really checks all the boxes as a complete package being a very capable "bushcraft" knife while having the toughness needed for a survival blade AND that awesome sheath. ALready having the Spyderco Bushcraft I waslooking for an excuse to get the puuko when I saw it came in a 1400mm version, perfect, it fits right in between my Spydy and my HD SYKCO 711.

[@CedricAda]

schlooonginator they’re on the site right now - get em while they’re sheathed!

[@GAUROCH2]

That "black finish" on the Jaakari puuko is not a "finish" but a "unfinish"...the technical term is "brut de forge", just meaning that, getting out of the forge, it is not cleaned or polished.

[@germanredneck4414]

i recommend the hultafors, its indestructable and with a basic worksharp edge, its just a best

[@caseysimpson1806]

I gifted my Hultafors to a young carpenter. I may have to order another.

[@gmuk101]

I don't know if Jaakaripuukko is still one of the best budget option but I ordered one after I saw your comparison. The reason why I bought it is because the price is reasonable, while the edge retention is better. Also there is now 85mm version of it with same width. I think shorter blade(not too short like Eldris) is more useful for my use. Also the primary bevel is much wider - widest I ever saw among those budget friendly knives. This is very important for me because I use the primary bevel as a guide when I sharpen my knives. So I was looking for better edge retention, wider and short blade, wider primary bevel, ergonomic handle and all in low price. Jaakaripuukko seems to be the best so far even now. Your conclusion was different than mine but all those information I needed was in this video. So thank you.

[@jeffreydustin5303]

I find the Terava line of blades absolutely gobsmacked me with the quality, appearance, and utility. Some people say they are ugly. No they are functional knives with classic features and hard as a nail to break. The only thing is the goofy ring on the pommel, I would replace with a trapezoidal steel ring instead, something flat to hammer with.

[@storm3016]

Great comparison! I never got along with the Bushcraft Black's handle personally, but luckily there's still the Companion HD too. Aussie Mora prices are ridiculous by the way, I'd be happy to send you some from Europe if it helps you save a buck in the future. Just say the word if you want to keep me up on it.

[@goodtimes1046]

Old video to respond, I know. But the Garberg with Poly Sheath is 60$ USD and the Jaakaripuukko is 78$ USD. The roles have now reversed. That poly-sheath is about the same as the Condor Terrasaur, essentially, good enough. And the Mora Buscraft Black is 63$ USD with it's cheapest sheath (still good enough). All in high-carbon steels. Edit; for accurate prices.

[@PierreJeanLevy]

Hi sir, regarding the knife from Finland if the inside of the ring is sharpened you may be able to enter a reasonably sized "ferro'-rod" and strike downward with the knife

[@stevanoutdoor]

I would prefer the Jaakaripuukko also because it comes in an awesome leather sheath and is a great knife for the price. However. If you compare value for dollar the winner is the Hultafors GK. This knife is tough and for that reason is the instructors knife of the Bushcraft Associations. The instructors use it, we let the students use it even for batoning, and I have not seen a failure. For some people the handle is to big but for me it's perfect.

Pete , you missed out on the Jaakari puukko leather sheath, its frikkin awsome . Its the only leather sheath I have that has a kydex type retention to it , and then a button, and for $20.00 extra , thats a great deal . The cool thing is , if you also bought the 140 with the leather sheath , you could use that sheath for both knives, it's just obviously a little bit long for the 110, but the width and hanble are the same.

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Already got the Garberg, the Jaakaripuukko is on its way. So when I started viewing this video I already knew "my knife" would come out on top :) PS: If you run out of money, you could always make a few videos about which sheaths fits very well with other knives than the one they came with. For instance I found that the leather sheath for Casström No. 14 (which they currently do not list, not sure why) is a perfect fit for my Fällkniven S1. :) DS: Or...if you want to spend more on inexpensive knives, I think the J-P Peltonen M07 Ranger knive (and the M95) belongs in this class. Only issue I have with it is the handle, where I made a simple mod by pulling a piece of thin rubber bicycle tube over the more obtrusive part of the handle - so not to be bothered with the slight "rubber burr" on the "edge" of the handle when not using gloves.

[@FrankSchweppe]

The Peltonen definitely belongs in the same group, being the knife that inspired Varusteleka's design of the Jaakkaripuukko (or JP). I have both and while I like fondling the Peltonen (it's definitely the nicer one to look at), I found that while using it I liked the JP more and more but found little things that irritated me about the Peltonen after a while. I like the blade profile of the Peltonen better, I like the teflon coating, but as a total package, sturdy outdoor knife plus sheath I think that the Jaakkaripuukko wins. Which pains me, because as I said, I really like the Peltonen for its military look and feel. Somehow the thing makes you feel armed, while the Jaakkaripuukko is a heavy-duty tool, less a dagger. The Jaakkari sheath wins by a mile, in spite of the somewhat famous rubber retaining wheel for upside-down carrying of the Peltonen. It would be interesting to see a truly skillful bushperson compare those, with a lot of finer knife tasks included, like notching, fine carving, food stuff etc. in addition to the usual batoning and feathersticking. The outcome might be different.

[@jordy703]

if you are giving the edge to the mora because the Terava Jaaripuukko is high carbon then imo you dont actually like knives. you literally just have to dry it off maybe add a tiny bit of oil. The Spine is also classic Puukko, rounded

[@wilsonline90]

I`ve hammered my Mora companion in 12C27 daily on construction work. 2.5mm and stainless. And its going on. Its more about cracks that happen while heat treatment than about been full tang. obviously that more steel helps. but, also bring more weight. when backpacking, its another issue. So, I just test my knife and if it pass, its ok.

[@zenyatta3947]

It's not about heat treatment on the blade, it's about other components that are weaker. Like the small rat tail tang and handle consisting almost entirely of plastic, except for said tang.

Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors I have the grohmann #4 survival knife in krupp 4110 stainless. Not sure what's it's hardened to but it doesn't hold an edge on wood at all. After some searching on the net, i've found this to be a common complaint. I now refer to it as ccrap 4110 steel. Btw, I bought the 140 version after your video on the jaakaripuuko.

[@KimmoKivera]

Steel: 4110 (X55CrMo14), 57 HRC for the Jääkäripuukko stainless

[@tonyhallen1062]

The ring on the terava pommel perhaps was intended as an anchor for a bow drill?

I’d love a mix of both the mora design in 80crv2

[@nandayane]

The Jakarrii Pukko is a beast, I just bought the knife and a cheap sheath. $30 for a sheath is oof

[@christianwilliams4795]

Yes! Been waiting for this! And my pc says that I'm first. yipee.

[@ComUnSas]

One area where the Garberg handle wins out over the Jaakari is that it fits small hands better (in my experience). Tbh neither feels nimble in the hand and enjoyable to use the way a Bushcraft Black or Companion do.

[@morganacanon]

Those partial tang knives may seem strong when you are hammering them through stuff in your garage, but I can tell you from first hand experience, they crumble under hard usage. Ive had a mora companion in my bag for years, and only recently used it, as I normally have a solid knife on my belt. In my little trial run with the mora, I attempted to process a little fatwood. I say attempted because while trying to shave a thick layer from a stump, looking for that waxy core, I could feel the handle flex along the end of the tang. Had I continued, im pretty certain I'd have been pulling shards of tang and handle from my palm. The mora isn't bad, and has its place, but I feel too many reviewers gloss over its faults. Too many people, myself included, go off that word. The 2 knives you did the video on are dependable at any price point, while the mora companions are just good for the price. Don't rely on them for dire needs

I'm nearly 70 years old and I've been using and sharpening knives since I was a preteen kid of about 7-8 years old. A Barlow pocket knife was a permanent resident in my pants' pockets, even in grade school. I've never met or used a stainless steel knife that was superior in its ability to both hold an edge or be sharpened. Especially, be sharpened. I spent 22 years working in professional kitchens and stainless steel chef's knives suck when compared to a mass-produced carbon steel chef's knife from the 1960s, such as the inexpensive ones that the knife sharpening services would supply to restaurants. Inexpensive, 8"-10" carbon steel chef's knives that brand new in 1965 probably cost no more than $6.00-$10.00. An old knife like that with its thin carbon steel blade will out cut the most expensive stainless steel chef's knives from Europe and Asia that cost in excess of $200.00 *By the way, I just ordered the Terava Skrama 240mm with the brown leather sheath, and the Jääkäripuukko 110mm is next on my list of purchases.*

[@inso80]

Only one of those knives is something you could and would use to baton through a brick if you needed to. You certainly wouldn't using the pretty gardberg and the cheaper ones would probably break. If you are willing to and know how to maintain a knife, Jääkäri would be the option. If you are not big on blade maintenance and are willing to spit out the cash, then something with stainless, like the Gardberg. They used to do the Jääkäri in stainless too. If you don't need it for anything heavy duty, the cheap stick tangs will do just fine.

[@martindunwell6099]

For you hunters who like pukkos check out polar from Tony moonraker knifes in the UK the 80 model when stropped is scalpel Sharp made from 80crv2 and the debate between the 110 and the Garberg for me the Garberg all day every day yes I know you love the sheath but it's more about the knife than the pretty sheath for me

[@sweetcostarica8714]

Similar in quality? The refined Mora vs the crude Terava Jaakaripuukko. Everything else is 100% correct IMO.

[@jakobsmeds7653]

you can get the jaakaripuukko in stainless fore the same price

[@jordy703]

Why choose by both! 😂👍🏼

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Buy 2 of the hultafors knives. One for hard use one for fine use. Still cheaper.

[@danielohara3454]

So I use machetes on a daily basis at work i can tell you that the full tang is a big deal when you start getting into blades of that size. i've seen 3/4 tangs get wobbly and rat tail tangs like in the SOG machetes straight up just fly out of the handle mid swing. Might just be reflective of SOG quality control though.

[@CedricAda]

yeah I’d bet theres a massive leverage force going on with hard machete use. Those sog jugle machetes in particualr were famously bad

[@justythrasher]

I just bought the skrama which is made by these guys, I can't wait to get it. Amazing chopper

[@BradGryphonn]

I dunno. I'm leaning towards the Hultifors Heavy Duty knife. Do you think the Heavy Duty Hultifors is good value, the OK4 at around AUD40 with a sheath + about $7 shipping?

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Brad Griffin Go for it Brad. You will not be disappointed...that thing is indestructible !

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Brad Griffin PS...the SK-5 steel is super tough, easy to sharpen and takes a wicked edge. The only downside is that it will rust if it's not looked after.

[@FrankSchweppe]

The OK4 is a great little belt knife. Super comfortable and very tough. You can't go wrong with it.

[@dante_f4563]

The finish is forge/mill scale from manufacturing.

[@James-ke5sx]

The Mora Garberg multi-mount system is the main reason why I bought it. Also I use it for food preparation so the soft grip of the other knife does not seem very sanitary for my purposes.

[@shawnpepin7890]

What??? The handle on the mora has so many little grooves and holes that food and gunk can get in... the pukko is very easy to clean

The price of the Jaakaripuukko without the sheath can't be beat, it's like €40. Get a used leather sheath on ebay and you have the best knife for the price. If you want the factory sheath it's gonna cost you as much as the knife but the quality is excellent. Your choice.

[@calvinlewis8924]

I have all three knives and love all three. There are slight differences in the knives but your can’t go wrong with any of them. Overall I think the mora bushcraft just may be the best value. You won’t find any knife that feels better in your hand and overall value for the money.

[@dtl5623]

The Jakaaripuuko isn't as cheap as it use to be but it's still cheaper than the Garberg in my locality.

When you shoot video in Australia, does it automatically appear upside down?

Like the way toilets swirl in the opposite direction as they do here in the Northern Hemisphere.

KZbin knows where you're located at and automatically flips the video. I still wonder if Australians have a lot of headache as their heads are hanging upside down all day long.

[@sharpasbro2232]

@@berniem.6965 I don't know about Aussy, but here in New Zealand we have better brain blood saturation. Which is why we can binge drink harder. I assume Aussy is similar, though their beer is weaker, so I'd say the effect of the hemisphere is less there.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

As a lifelong Mora user - I vote Terava in this case.

[@bobsacamano4]

I just don't get the handle on the Garberg. Even the $10 Pro C's and Pro S's have a TPE rubber around them that make them way safer to handle with confidence. I like the ergos of the handle but for the price I just can't get my head around why they would not give it a more secure/warmer feel handle. Still a great knife though in my opinion. Thanks for the awesome review!

Hello from the Canadian (Calgary) Rocky Mountains, Great videos! 👍 I wondered about your opinion of quality of the T. Jakkaripuukko stainless version? As good as the Garberg-S steel? & what you think of the SRK-SK5 design changes? Is the hollow grind the more brittle type - As you described in other videos? My tip already bent & snapped off the SK5. 😮

[@brianf9619]

The carbon 80crV2 steel is a hell of a lot tougher than 14c28n , and that tips the scale for me .

You are hilarious mate!😂 1mm difference in thickness is negligible??? That’s almost 30% of garberg thickness!! 1:55

What knives seem to be price wise for Australia is what consoles are for Brazil. Can someone explain why Australia has such a price increase? I mean that's insane.

Garberg's hangle is not made of polypropylene but glass fiber filled polyamide. That makes a huuuge difference ...You welcome. :-)

My JääkäriPuukko 140 didn't come with that ginormous spine bevel. Some other interesting NorthEuropean-style knives are: the EKA Swede W12 and the RealSteel Bushcraft plus. I actually posted your Garberg video on MoraKnivs Facebook page!😁 Keep up the good work.

Why does it look like you have a secondary edge on your Jaakaripuukko? Isn't it a scandi edge?

G’day, , can you please tell me where we can buy Terava Jaakaripuukko 110 & 140 knifes in Australia ? I can’t find them . I think I heard you say you got one imported from Finland.
