Wilderness warrior that is cool man. Pretty great knife I dig it. Solid review brother.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks Travis. Pretty cool name too "wilderness warrior". Sounds like a TV show from the 80s. Thanks for watching bud.

[@JJ_OUTDOORS]

That looks like a proper decent knife 🔪 my friend and a great first impression video, love the look of it, sheath retention seems really strong, not too sure about high it sits with the clip but guess you get used to that, a very traditional knife that should serve you well, winter looks proper set in there my friend hope your doing well and looking after yourself...great video thanks for sharing atb jj

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Sheath retention too strong 😂. Loosening up now, now I can get it in and out without doing myself a mischief (that's not how I intended that to sound😂). Probably going to try some other options to attach it other than my belt. Will get in the way of my rucksack too much there. Better outside of the coat in winter anyway. This isn't winter yet mate, when my moustache freezes to my beard that's when I know its winter. Thanks for watching buddy.

Hola amigo, como estas? Hoy nos trajiste unas primeras impresiones del Rokka Korpisoturi, el cual al parecer, es bastante bueno. Cuanta nieve que hay por allá, es impresionte. Gracias por compartir amigo, que tengas una muy buena semana.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Gracias Facundo, vendra mucho mas nieve. Estara aqui hasta abri o mayo. Es un cuchillo bastante bueno aqui en Finlandia hacen Buenos cuchillos. Gracias por ver el video. Un abrazo fuerte

nice knife, i like the sheath a lot

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The sheath certainly is very unique. Thank you very much for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

[@iscariotproject]

a bit too expensive for me but considering the amount of time you spend in the outdoors you truly deserve a good tool for sure.always nice to see you put outa video.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

It is the most money I have ever spent on a knife to be honest. Will be interesting to see how it holds up to a bit more use. Seems to be holding its edge really well. Always great to see you put out a video too. I am looking forward to seeing the next one.

[@JohnANimo-me4br]

Excellent review! Looks like a great knife, although a bit on the expensive side. You make feather-sticking look effortless.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks mate, maybe it helps having an expensive knife to make feathersticks. My initial impression is that it is maybe not worth spending so much money at least for the way I tend to use a knife.. Let's see how it performs over the next few weeks. Thanks for watching again mate. Best wishes.

[@max_fjellstorm]

Im still wanting this knife quite a bit! Every time I see it I’m tempted

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The handle eventually split on mine. Kind of think maybe just a few teething problems with the earlier models. Is a pretty expensive knife though. I really think you can do better for that price. But if you do get one, please let me know what you think of it.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Mora Bushcraft Black is a great lowcost option or the Enzo Hiker line which also has rubberized grips. I do like that high saber/convex edge though, it's much more useful than scandi grinds.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

I really should get myself an Enzo. Expecially with them being a Finnish company too. Mora of course are excellent for the price. I really like the blade geometry on this knife. It really seams to eat through wood. Thank you very much for watching my freind.

[@DinoNucci]

Convex edge = evil to sharpen

[@Airik1111bibles]

@@DinoNucci Nahhh once you have a good edge a nice ceramic rod will keep it maintained. Also .. Using sandpaper and a computer mouse pad or bubble wrap stropping method is way easy. Once you get the muscle memory and rhythm down they become quite easy to sharpen.

Great knife. If I had an extra $146 sitting around, I'd get me one. Great review. Thanks for sharing.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Yes it is a bit pricey. I think the Peltonen sissipuukko is a similar knife with a much better sheath for about half the price. Thanks for watching mate.

[@osmoahma]

Im waitin for mine to arrive to do my own review. Nice to see what you think about yours. Cheers.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Quite an interesting concept this knife. A moderntactical puukko. To be honest I think I prefer the sissipuukko (expecially the sheath). Where can I see your review? Thanks for watching mate.

[@WaltRevenJr]

Good grief mate it looks cold! All those beardcycles hanging off ya lol!! Wow that is a nice knife but its saying 146 american dollars, thats a bit too deep for my empty pockets(minus the lint in them). Its good steel thats for sure(going by what you told me before), You make feather sticking look easy lol. I feel like such a noob looking at yours haha. Sort of reminds me of the cold steel finn hawk a bit mate! Amazing review Tim! If you ever get sick of it send that bad boy my way ok, I promise to put it to good use haha. I been looking at a cheapy from BPS, gonna send ya the link on fb...kinda interesting for the money. Anywho enough of my yappin, great tips and review mate.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

It is pricey. Checked my bank account (I don't usually read those silly statements) and was actually quite surprised at how not poor I am. Decided to buy a couple of things that I couldn't normally afford this was one of them. Never bought a knife this expensive before (though my carving jack comes close). To be honest I think I have better knives that were a lot cheaper. Will check out your link later mate.

[@ironkid8836]

Lovely scenery I'd love to spend time in this type of environ

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

It is very wild and unspoilt up here in Lapland. I am blessed in having great scenery all around. Thank you very much for watching my freind.

[@ironkid8836]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft I only found your channel from searching the sissipuukko would you favour it over the rokka I am in the market for a new knife and wanted to try something new I usually use a ratmandu convexed for my bushcrafting

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

@@ironkid8836 personally I prefer the sissipuukko. The edge of the Rokka I think is a little too prone to chipping. To be fair my Rokka has had more hard use than my Sissipuukko but it hasn't held up as well as I would expect for a knife of that price. The sissipuukko has done great so far and is a lot less money.

[@ironkid8836]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft cheers for that I did think they were running the HRC a bit high 60 to 62 I think optimal for that steel

[@MadDogSurvival]

Looks like my kind of blade brother! Very nice! I’d prefer a more traditional scales but no doubt that one on it is way more grippy especially in the conditions you’re in! Great review mate! Very best wishes 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Certainly very grippy and no cold metal touching your hand. Definitely pros and cons of both styles of knife. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you are having a fantastic Christmas.

[@teslastele]

Sorry to post on an old vid, but I think it’s the place for my question: Have you tried fitting the Rokka in the Peltonen Sissipuukko sheath? I’m considering getting one of these but I don’t think I’d like the sheath it comes with. Thanks!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Please don't apologise, the more comments and likes these videos get the better. I would have guessed that it wouldn't fit well in the Peltonen sheath. But I have just tried it now and it actually fits really well in the MO7 sheath. If you want to buy a Rokka knife please hurry while stocks last. I have heard that they are going bancrupt and won't be around much longer. Thanks for watching mate and for the comment.

[@teslastele]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Thanks for investigating this for me! That's great news. I hope to have it in hand next week :)

[@wadehampton1737]

I had some chipping problems with mine and it's not the easiest blade to resharpen to a keen edge. The sheath is superb.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The sheath is definitely growing on me, it was extremely stiff at first but seems to work great now. Not had to sharpen it very much at all. Just been keeping it well stropped. Maybe the edge is a little too hard if it's chipping and hard to sharpen. I have not had these issues, at least yet. Which is why I will be doing a fuller review in a few months once I have got some use behind it. Thank you very much for watching. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year.

[@wadehampton1737]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft You bet. You do a good channel mate. The only reason I had to do such resharpening was because of having to remove those tiny chips. I haven't had anymore chipping. It may have been the factory edge. There's a magic bevel on this one. It's either there or it's not. Cheers.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

It has a a typical Finnish knife blade which are often very hard. You may want to buy rougher stones or use diamond.

[@ArielleViking]

That's a nice knife and sure threw some sparks off the firesteel. Though for that money, you should expect the handle to be perfect. Hopefully that sheath loosens up a little. 👍❤

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

The sheath has loosened up fine. The thing is the perfect handle shape for me is different for someone else so they can't win really. It is a lot to pay for a knife though. Thanks for watching Arielle.

[@savetheelephants]

Good review. I should be getting mine next week. What was the other knife you showed with the black handle? CC...?

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks for watching Roger, glad you liked the review. The other knife was the JP Peltonen M95 Sissipuukko, or ranger knife. Fantastic knife that has been around for a long time now. I do have a couple of reviews on this knife.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft your welcome much love xoxox

[@fdcdfab]

I am looking forward to see your forthcoming review of that knife! I am interested myself in buying that piece. Absolutely awesome winter you got there! What was the temperature when you were filming? I hope you will comment on the steel performance versus the Terava Jaakaripuukko (I have the same version as yours from some other review back in the past). Best wishes!

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

It was roundabout - 16 degrees Celsius (or 3 Fahrenheit). I don't want to say too much before I have used the knife a little more but I would definitely expect the edge retention to be better than on the Jääkäripuukko. The Jääkäripuukko however feels better in my hand and I like the Jääkäripuukko sheath more. The blade geometry on the Rokka seems extremely good though. But it is also very expensive. I could change my mind on some of these things by the time I do the proper review (so please watch it🙏). Winter is definitely on its way. We should have enough snow for dog sledding soon and enough ice to cross the big lake to the national park. Not getting very much daylight though. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Best wishes Tim

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Thanks for the review. I'm interested in this knife but it's sold out in the states so I settled on the Mora Garberg carbon steel (and 1/3 less the price) for now. Any second/third impressions since this review?

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

@@steveysimmons13579 it's a nice knife, I think if you want a knife like this I would recommend the Peltonen M07 not that it is a better knife but it is significantly cheaper. I will be doing another review pretty soon. The Garberg also is a similar knife. I do tend to be a bit biased when it comes to Sweden versus Finland though 😂🇫🇮. I also think that the Korpisoturi has many unique features wich may appeal to some people a lot.

[@steveysimmons13579]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Appreciate it!

[@c_branco]

Nice review, I am thinking of buying this knife but with a kidex sheath, after these 2 years do you recommend this knife?

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

I have had some issues with the handle splitting. I have heard of other people having the same issue too. It may have been only the earlier ones, I don't know. Bearing this in mind I still don't think I would recommend this knife. The Peltonen Sissipuukko may be a better option for less money.

[@c_branco]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft really appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thanks for the feedback, having in mind what you described and the price and most likely buy a Jaakaripuukko, same steel, cheaper and saw too many videos of people unsuccessfully trying to destroy it. Thanks again for you time and content. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

@@c_branco same steel but different heat treatment. Personally I prefer the softer edge of the standard Lauri 80CRV2 as in the Jääkäri over the progressive heat treatment as found in the Rokka as it is less prone to chipping. You will have to sharpen your knife more often though. Terava do make absolutely fantastic knives, and for a very reasonable price.

[@c_branco]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft thanks again! I am leaning more to the Terava, the Lauri's I have found online are mainly just the blade, can't find a seller that offers the finished handle as well.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

@@c_branco Lauri make blades for many knife manufacturers including Rokka and Terava and very many others. They do make very good blades, good steel and heat treatment.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thanks Joe. Pretty good knife so far but to be honest they aren't cheap so at that price it should be pretty good. Another review coming up when it has had a proper amount of use. Thanks for watching.

[@clitaiulian4497]

I'm planning on buying this knife but wonder how would you sharpen a rhombic scandi. Did you get to sharpen it until now? Amazing presentation, by the way. Thanks a lot.

[@KuukkeliBushcraft]

Thank you very much, glad you liked the video. The rhombic shape doesn't affect the sharpening at all. Just treat as you would treat a scandi with a micro bevel. I am using this knife daily and quiet hard at the moment. The edge retention is good but I still sharpen it about once a week. Primary bevel on the stone and then strop then a few passes over the micro with the strop is how I have been treating it. Will eventually lose the micro and have a scandi-vex (a slightly convexed scandi grind just in case you didn't know the term). I have noticed a slight twist in the spine. I believe it to be a defect from the manufacturer in the heat treatment. Could also be from me battoning the knife (I don't batton through anything thick or knotty). I am thinking that maybe the spine is a little too soft. It is very slight and barely noticeable. I will be doing a full review in the next couple of weeks. Other than that it is a good knife. More info in the review. Just thought I would let you know that in advance as you are thinking of buying one. Thanks for watching my freind. Best wishes Tim

[@clitaiulian4497]

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Thank you very much for your torough explanation. Another thing that also worries me is that high 63 HRC on the edge.
