So Ugly It Rocks! Skrama Bush Knife

[@Shooter11B]

Welcome to the Skrama fan club brother!

[@MrSurf247]

Have not sharpened mine in the 2+ years I've owned it and just carved a spatula out of oak for fire time fun. This things a wood processing machine. I'm glad so many people are finding out about it. Great review. 👍

[@Wolverine-hj2cd]

How have you gotten away with not sharpening it in 2 years? :O

[@MrSurf247]

Isaac Lebo I think it's the grind angle. Thing stays sharp and in my Jeep. I use it primarily to baton down fire wood and make kindling. The only maintenance it gets is some Pam sprayed on it before I put it away.... if I remember.

[@Wolverine-hj2cd]

Dang, that's pretty impressive. I don't think batoning usually dulls a blade TOO much cause once you penetrate the wood it's not really on the edge, but still. I can't wait to get mine :)

[@kennywheelus6857]

Awesome bro,yes these are far awesome knives in my book, I'm getting a duel sheath made for my 140 to carry a 110 when I get it from a guy named doug wilson on Facebook an instagram, he makes awesome sheaths an not overly priced,an working on getting my skrama, I mean I love my leather sheath but I don't wanna f it up ya know,it's beautiful.

[@shawnpepin7890]

i think basic knives like this are as far from ugly as possible. there is an awesome beauty in simplicity . most knives today sacrifice materials and usefulness for fancy geometry and accents. this is a beautiful as a work knife should be

[@TheWtfnonamez]

I own two of these. The Skrama represents the complete victory of functionality and performance, over aesthetics. They are ugly, with rubbery handles, and unlike anything else I own. But damn they are effective tools. They basically operate somewhere between a large knife, a machete, and an axe. FYI like most Finnish knives they dont have any exposed tang on the handle. I think this is probably because in Finland the temperature drops as low as -30 to -50 degrees ... so exposed metal on the handle in winter means "if you grab the knife, its there till spring"

[@wayneholmes637]

They look a lot like a modernised Martindale Golok would probably look like.

[@TheWtfnonamez]

@@wayneholmes637 As an owner of both I can say you made an excellent point. The Skrama was made "post resource scarcity", and the Martindale was made during wartime shortages. Both basically fill the same spot as tools that are machete-like but built like heavy choppers. Well said sir

[@dominickcabal5347]

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. A Jaakaripuukko110, Skrama and a Silky saw is all I need to process firewood in my AO.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

I've been touting this blade for quite a while. It is the class leader as far as I'm concerned. I've still got my other large blades but this is the one that comes with me in the field.

[@kennywheelus6857]

Unfortunately, bro I love the handle on mine with my lanyard, I'm able to chop decently with my 140,I only can imagine with the skrama, an two,it does exceptionally well for a nice budget work horse slash bushcraft knife.

[@muskett4108]

I've had mine for a year now and its my reach for tool for any proper work. Combine it with a Silky Saw and your pocket knife and you have most things covered, for the same weight as a JX. The Skrama is a brilliant tool. Good vid; the more you use it the more you will love it. I like the hump as I rarely use gloves. Its the right weight and sharpness to cut brush too. I'm a huge fan, hard not to be.

[@whiskeyriver4322]

Best, most durable, most versatile, "survival" cutting tool on the market for the price. This, a Silky Big Boy, and a $20 Mora, will get you through just about any challenge in the forest. I found a way to use the hole in the blade and turn the thing into a draw knife. Crazy great tool

[@druid799]

I’ll start by saying thank you for an ‘honest’ review of this blade , such a rarity on KZbin to find a review with out a hidden agenda (wether its trying to sell or just make something look better than it is ) I’ve been after a replacement for my old kukri for quite some time and now and thanks to your review I’ve found what I’m looking for ! I ordered and received it and have not been disappointed in it at all cracking bit of kit . There’s an old advertising slogan over here about garden wood stain , the advert says “Ronseal wood stain , it does what it says on the tin” Well this knife most definitely does what it says on the tin ! 👍

[@SCUM808]

I've been waiting for this review for a while! Great video, and glad to see Varusteleka being seen more internationally. Cheers from Finland, TORILLE!

I’m very late but I’m glad I found this review because I have been wanting the Terava Puukko 110 for a while but haven’t been able to find them for sale at any of the online US knife stores..thanks to his Varusteleka link I now finally know where to get one

[@SCUM808]

@@garrettferrell6821 I actually got to use a Terävä puukko (I think it was the biggest version) for bushcrafting in my bachelor party last year, and boy I fell in love. Quality stuff, highly recommended.

[@garrettferrell6821]

SCUM I’m glad to hear it,from everything I’ve read and watched about it,it seems everybody who has used them seem to love them.I have no experience with 80crv2 steel I know it has to be a pretty good steel considering Winkler as well as many custom knife makers use it in knives that sell for up to $500-$600.for years of experience with multiple different Mora models and the Benchmade 200 Puukko I absolutely fell in love with the classic Puukko style and the Scandi grind.Ive read many reviews and watched many video reviews of people calling Terava Puukkos the “Garberg killer” which has definitely got my attention.Im definitely looking forward to getting one

[@rodrig9465]

Truly a high performance tool. I love mine and it is also a great value. This made me reassess what I expect from my working blades. Good video.

[@Lag_TV]

Don't know why people seem to think it is ugly. Also, for a working blade don't know why the looks matter at all. Glad to hear it works so well for you.

[@nandayane]

I was surprised by the fit and finish, it was really excellent. The fact that it looks more like a tool than a weapon is a huge bonus for people who are camping. The performance was comparable to a 14” bolo machete except for that it doesn’t get stuck in wood. It’s heavy-ish so it might get fatiguing after extended use.

[@mistersmith3986]

Aaron. I have the Terava Jaakaripuukko 110. Same makers and steel of the Skrama. You should check it out. I think you would like the larger one 140mm.

[@kennywheelus6857]

I love my 140,getting a skrama an 110,a guy I know is making me a dual sheath to carry both of them, not real expensive either, I believe hear in America it's gonna cost me 144.00,but partly because he has 110 I buying off him in great shape.

So glad you did a review on this. Here we are six years later and it seems this is still quite obscure in the US. I just stumbled on it in Blade Forums while looking at BK9 vs Junglas comparisons. A guy from the UK claimed that it outperforms either of those two. Great chopper, carver, cheaper, and includes a leather sheath? I am absolutely getting this ASAP.

[@MrKAITSU87]

I love the skrama! Yet another best seller from my homeland. Great video man!

[@gideonstactical]

FinnViking glad to hear thanks for watching

[@kennywheelus6857]

Yes sir,these are fine blades,I'm saving up to get a savatta ruck sack,an me a skrama, I got a buddy who makes custom kydex sheath systems for my puukko to hold my 140 an as well my 110 when I get it too,I believe I'll keep my skrama in leather for a bit longer maybe get a kydex sheath made for it too so I can wear it over my shoulder for right hand draw.

[@garrettferrell6821]

We will forever be grateful for the Leuku and the Puukko that your people invented.the fact these knives have been used for hundreds of years and are still popular today speaks in volumes on how well designed they truly are

[@thedoomrunnerxl]

The Skrama is the Glock of bush knives, and that's a compliment.

[@FrankSchweppe]

It must be great for batoning firewood in the yard, I am never sure about carrying such a heavy blade on a hike (I used to be a long distance backpacker in long forgotten days and even cut my toothbrush in half to save weight). I have the Jaeger Puukko 140 so no doubt about the quality. Just not sure it would add enough functionality that my gear does not already have between axes, machetes, and knives to warrant the investment. (Please convince me....) One remark, the black coating on the flat of the blade is not a deliberately added coating, it is the remnant of the heat treatment that they kept instead of polishing it off. Most of it actually comes off fairly easy with some steel wool, which I did with the puukko because some of the sooty stuff got stuck in cheese during food prep... (I am in France, hence cheese eating is vital!)

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

So I see another great review of a fine knife. Two things though. A) that hump in the middle? Imagine it's 10 degrees outside and you're in the Finnish Woods. Think of your Gloved Hands grasping the Cold Handle. If you hold it like Spock on Star Trek with your Index and Middle Finger closed together in the first groove with the ring and pinky behind it... B) the hole in the blade? Got a nail or a hook to hold it if you need a Meat Cleaver....? Think of a Finnish Homestead out in the Bush. Bottom Line is I think that is more of Tool that can be used as a Knife. And we haven't even Touched on Self Defense. I see that as something for a Serious Survival Kit for an Alaskan Bush Pilot or an Anti-Poaching Cop in Africa or a Hunting Guide in Siberia. Definitely NOT a Toy! Thanks Aaron.

[@kennywheelus6857]

Well put,I agree

[@kennywheelus6857]

I got a 140,definitely a beast

[@FrankSchweppe]

I finally convinced myself and got one, with the PALS sheath. It took me a bit of time to get used to it, in fact I felt that the bevel was too steep for use on flexible springy stuff. It did not do badly but I am spoilt by a Tramontina bolo machete that I modified pretty radically; that one flies through vines like a light sword. After some reflection I took the Skrama to the belt sander and convexed the grind. No more secondary bevel, just a convex curve to a zero edge. Then I beat the crap out of it, batoning logs and chopping points on hardwood sticks. No problemo, the steel can take it. And it lightsabers through the springy vines like the bolo as well. Ergo, it is very good out of the box but can be greater. I think though that for chopping sideways through thick logs one uses a saw ;-) . This blade will probably grow on its user. The hump bothers me less than during the first few days, as I am gripping it more loosely. It complements my wood processing tools for jobs around the yard nicely and if I go somewhere and think that I might maybe need an axe or a machete, I can take the Skrama just in case and leave the other tools at home.

[@tomsawyerpiper9412]

The Skrama is a BEAST!! I had one and it was my go to chopper. Sadly I hit a rough spot and had to sell it along with a number of my other blades.

[@High-hopes]

This design IS the real deal, no BS marketing bla bla, this is the one tool option in any condish.

[@willallan6653]

Great review. Terava is great to deal with and they have a huge selection of outdoor gear, including some great socks of all things. They have other quality knives, some used by the Finnish military. Small player in North America but a good reputation overseas. Reviews like this showcase their unique blades which have serious upside.

[@650tonyd]

You can get this and a dual sheath that accommodates their 85 small pukko. It's the perfect combo for cutting and chopping

[@fumasterchu12]

This blade reminds me of the Silky Nada I bought last year. The Nada is a beast of a blade, and it cost me just under $80 from Amazon. I just found your channel in the suggested videos, surprised since you have a ton of subs.Great video and review, and I think it looks pretty cool! *Update* I just went and checked my Amazon account and they have raised the price of the Nada. I paid $79 last year and now it is over $90, just wanted to be accurate.

[@altumpaul]

Pair this up with a jaakaripuukko 110 or (and) the 85 and you will have all you ever need

[@kennywheelus6857]

I'm glad you finally got to do a review on this blade

[@bushcraft_in_the_north]

It's not coating,it's black because of heat treating. If you use fine steel wool nr4, and some oil. It will after polishing,look kinda cloudy and polished,looks really nice. And it slides even better thru wood.

[@MrNetnic]

I find it absolutely amazing that these “experts“ never even bother to read up the specifications of the things that they are supposedly reviewing. The black “coating on the blade is so obviously the scale that coats the surface of any piece of metal that is seriously heat treated. I have made irons chisels and turning gouges, and there is always that layer of black “scale“ after the hardening quenching and tempering also, illustrating this “experts“ casual ignorance, is that he has not even read the specs about the tempering process of the skrama‘s steel. It is soft on the outside hardest in the center, and the spine is round with a slight bevel on each edge, so that the hard central layer is fully exposed for striking. Expert review!! Five minutes of thrashing around at sticks and logs, and he knows it all!

[@bushcraft_in_the_north]

@@MrNetnic I agree 100% in your observations of "experts" espessially on YT😂 and G tacticalbis some of the worst of them in any way.

[@jakewolf079]

Well done, I'm fucking sold, hope this thing is available in here Taiwan. Also, that blade is not ugly at all, it looks like a traditional Japanese bush knife to me and it is HOT. EDIT: Yes! Found it! It cost NT$3,500 which is about 116 USD, a bit more expensive than I had hoped but I think it's worth it.

[@kennywheelus6857]

Oh man it is,wait till you feel it in your hands for the first time, my boys couldn't wait to use mine,almost didn't think they'd give it back,lol,so now there sold on it too,I love the stout tip an over all sharpness,easy to sharpen, an maintans,a nice edge retention, I don't recommend on throwing it,don't get me wrong I love tops knives too,but just don't have that cash to throw on a knife for hard use,they say this steel will even to their experience hold up better than most 1095 knives,an as long as they heat treat it right,it's a nice tough steel,it's watch a lot of forged in fire with doug marcida.

[@rickjohnson4009]

Great video I have their 110 and 140. My absolute favorite bushcraft knives even over my bark river bravo 2 and my LT Wright GNS.

[@randyyeager]

it actually has a duel grind bevel on it...on purpose....first 2 inches, close to the handle is ground for fine tasks and the rest is for chopping and batoning...

[@whoyell2888]

One thing that no other reviewer of this knive knows. The lanyard hole, it has another reason to be there, remember it's jääkäri, jaeger, ranger (hunter) knife. Made in Finland so winter is long. It's ice hook to get out of icy water (naskali in finnish) awl, bodkin, pricker(?) but to the ice. When ice breaks below your feet, you will need to get out from there thats the tool to use.

[@gldrifter3161]

Thanks for the review Aaron👍 Looks to be quite capable.

[@ToddEilts]

Love your reviews! Always based on performance. I have been thinking of trying this in place of my beloved BK-9, now I have a darned good reason to do so. Much obliged buddy!

[@msilverhammer]

If everyone buys this blade, then we can (thankfully) end Blade Show forever, as you will never need to buy another knife again, unless of course you choose to purchase the Terava Jaakaripuukko as a smaller companion blade for fine work. Thankfully we have guys like you and Mike form Blue Mountain Bushcraft showcasing and recommending this blade. Can anyone figure out what is wrong with Chris Tanner of PM101, as if I remember correctly he stated...I want to like it, but I just can't, or something to that effect!?? Well, I guess until we get everyone on board the Terava Skrama team, we will still have to watch crappy redundant videos from the Blade Show, produced by wannabee movie producers who are making KZbin videos, that showcase wannabee celebrity knife designers, and wannabee celebrity Un-Reality show contestants! Anyway, I digress, thanks for the review.

[@muskett4108]

It makes me smile that a Fin, of all people, has come up with such a great blade! Shows up all those "blade celebrity" pundit's offerings for what they are! If you want to cut breeze blocks get a fantasy tool; if you want a woodsman's, or even jungle, tool then get the Skrama, the thinking man's golok. The Terava 110 and 140 aren't a bad either. Just used mine for three days flat out, and it breezed through the work. Complimented the Chainsaw perfectly. Sure a chainsaw as it was proper work.

[@kennywheelus6857]

Yeah I hear ya, Chris I'm not sure what he's thinking, he done a couple of videos on the puukko an the skrama, like the 140,but didn't do any follow up videos of it in more every day use an on food prep,I'd love to have seen a video on more of those tasks after owning it for awhile an see how to sharpen it back up too,mine is decent sharp steel,ism just scared I'm gonna mess mine up,never sharpened an scandi grind before.

[@christianflores7583]

@@kennywheelus6857 he prolly doesnt like it cause it serves the same purpose and design theory as his bark river jx5. The skrama is basicly a budget jx5, hes no longrr with bark river, hes designing a new chopper called the omega but low and behold it has the same style handle as terrava. I think he secretly loves the skrama, just not the fact it does the same as his designs at a cheaper price.

[@tray22]

Eric Rosbottom I watched the same PM101 video and felt his butt hurt vibes with that review. I really think his knife design was on his mind through the review. This Finnish knife is just better sorry Chris.

[@Wolverine-hj2cd]

If I remember correctly his main complaint was that the little rise in the handle near the blade got in the way. Something that others have complained about...

[@muskett4108]

The little rise in the handle is perfect, its better for it and done just right. Its a not an issue and in fact a benefit. Initial impressions then people are trying to find something to worry about when there isn't anything to worry about. You can sand it off if you want but once done it can't be put back on. Use the thing for six months and you will be pleased you left it alone. Its also not designed to be thumped on thick oak logs. Why would anyone want to do that anyway? Some reviewers really should get out more! One thing all the reviewers fail to show enough is how good this thing is at cutting small and springy stuff. It catches the cut and works unlike so many thick blades that fail miserably on the thin stuff. As above, "This Finnish Knife is just better Chris". I used mine last week on a Sycamore that came down, six trailer loads of top branches and leaves, and it was fantastic.

[@wavepropulsion1]

That hole in the blade is to adapt anything as a cord or a stick as second handle and use it as plane. Very useful and compatible with this blade shape indeed. Thanks for the video mate.

little late reply but the hole is there purely for manufacturing purposes but ofc can be used for anything

[@beaucrawford538]

looks like a winner ! i really like this style of blade, very useful.

[@thesorcererfox777]

I own one of these and I best the PISS out of my tools. It's not the sexiest looking knife, but for the price I really don't think you'll ever find a multi-use large knife this good. The Kershaw camp 10 machete is amazing also, but because of the design is not as easy to sharpen on a wider water stone. I also find the camp 10 is more comfortable for chopping and has a better handle, but they're also two totally different designs. The Skrama Not being as hard of a steel, I find that it is like a lot of tops knives where more edge maintenance is needed, but it makes up for it in toughness. This thing does all tasks quite well and is a decent slasher to boot. Actually for the thickness it's rather excellent. Ive messed around a bit doing some combatives with this, and it's *extremely* easy to handle were you engaged in conflict with it. The extra long handle gives nice reach (this was demonstrated by putting the blade behind the shoulder and using the length to trap the throat and perform a slashing throw/sweep. Rather impressive) and the blade length provides for good slashing and chopping (between shoulder and neck for example). One of the coolest things about this blade though is that it doubles remarkably well as a drawknife for bark stripping. Just my personal experience with it 🤙🏼

[@jakefromohiostate]

I don't know why...but this seems to be your best review yet! I have been hunting for a unique fixed blade to take on scouting trips. Right now I have a very large/old Case Bowie that my wife's grandpa carried in the military. Looks like it's time for an upgrade

This knife is pretty badass. I think it looks pretty sexy and very functional. Sure, some people think it's not super pretty. So I won't feel so bad when I take it out and abuse it, which I plan to do. I checked their website, currently out of stock. I signed up for the re-stock notification. In answer to someone else's question, they do have a smaller version, but it's currently in it's first run and does not come with a sheath. Future production runs will though. When the full sized one is re-stocked, I'll be getting one. Good video man!

I'm struggling between junglas, skrama and junglas 2 for my large forest/surviving knife for fire, trail cleaning, backcountry skiing. it looks like that the skrama is the good balance between the junlgas and junlgas II. Skrama looks to be easier to carry on the belt too. Which one feel better in the hand when you work with it? Is the skrama chop pretty much the same as the junglas? If you were to clean trails for all day, which one you will go, which one you can swing all day long and get the job done without killing your arm? thanks

This knife is about as far from a convex as you can get. The primary bevel is actually *concave* (hollow) ground with a typical flat edge bevel.

[@TrailAesthetics]

that would explain why its sticks a little on the first initial chops.

[@muskett4108]

Its not much of a hollow grind, almost flat ?? Anyhow, its keen enough to catch the cut on grass, brush and foliage, and the right weight so you can be use it in the jungle or in wetland reed beds. Its not an axe so if you only need to beat on oak all day then get an axe. Plenty good to cut green poles and such, just not logs. Do wax or oil as it does rust/tarnish if left in the wet. It ain't ever going to look pretty, but it sure is a handy tool..

rockets4kids its scandi dude. Its a seax

[@rockets4kids]

Lay the bevel flat against a stone, give it a few passes, and watch what happens.

[@Moostery]

Speak for yourself man. That is one of the sexiest blades I have seen of its size. I love the rough finished look.

[@ke6ziu]

I've been looking at this... I want one!

[@theo78151]

You might use the hole for throwing sparks (?).

[@Wildwestwrangler]

I'd like to see a chop off between this and the Tops sxb!!!

[@EverydaySurvival]

I have always wanted to try this knife. Maybe one day i will lol

[@christianflores7583]

Would u take this over the jarosz choppa, i already have a "true" chopper: the 2lb bushcraft parang (13 inch blade), in chopping it equals my small forest axe but finds use in areas with more brush, so this blade would fill the in between area, basicly a " survival" blade.it get paired with a folding saw for 1 day hikes. In a 1 day hike ill perform basic bushcraft tasks like splitting and delimbing, clearing brush, some finer task, Most people would take a bk7 or an esee 6 for a one tool option but i find the choppa and skrama offer better chopping splitting, and brush clearing with the longer blade, while weighing around the same(1lb). But if i had to keep 1 what should i go for. Choppa or skrama

[@paarkour83]

Ugly how? I think it looks decent

[@ramonvelasquez8431]

Hey, question, which do you think it'd be better, this one or the Ka Bar Potbelly?

[@ccoffin1333]

great review, i have their pukko, great knife.

[@frankwoods135]

cool knife looks like you could mod it a couple different ways too

[@uncadon7199]

the holes purpose is that you can look thru it..it was designed that way..

[@CovermanGER]

The "hole" without use is for skinning....believe it or not.... put your arm through the lanyard (it will take the weight ) , pinch that hole with thump and index or middle finger and you have great control of the tip of this big blade... yes you can skin with this big blade ...greetings from Germany ...

[@j4ff4c3ks1]

actually, as Varusteleka's blurb says, it is there purely for manufacturing purpose, though of course this doesn't mean you can't find a creative purpose for it too¨

[@chrissequioa4376]

Great video as usual... I was wondering if you could review the M92 knife from American Kami? Greetings from Canada

[@shandar3278]

Great video as always!

[@scubisino]

love the knife and the shape... there is a little version of the skrama?

[@rigohook1160]

Yes, there is the skrama 200, wich has a four centimeters shorter blade length and a shorter handle as well (it has basically the same handle as the jääkäripuukko ). If you look for one took option, you need to look t the skrama 200. It is easier to carry on the belt, but still very good chopper. Me, i go with the big skrama and a saw in the backback and the jääkäripuukko on my belt.

[@jskrawz4611]

Very cool knife if you don't mind that it's not made in the US...

[@janisukanen884]

Glad to see you like it Aaron :) I have had mine for some years. It´s a MK1 of the first production run with kydex sheath that was available back then. Is a great knife. Been using and abusing it a fair amount. Great chopper. Works even for food preparation. Cutting, slicing and I have even filleted salmon boneless with it several times. Definitely a great tool. I have been considering to get me a Mini-Skrama or Mini-Puukko as a piggy back mounted companion blade for my Skrama. Both would be great knives for kydex sheath projects too.

[@jimf1964]

There was a point to the two different angles. Chopping and fine work. Why would you make the whole thing the same?

[@MrThebatmanuel]

You should try the habilis bush tool.

[@jvidrums]

So funny every video about the skrama people say its ugly. honestly i love how it looks it looks so mean and badass😅

[@calebdlara]

Great review as always, God bless.
