Thanks for the upload Ordered a 200, but had a hard time deciding...

[@Thoristesting]

LOL It is a hard choice, but I think the 200 is better than the 240, More versatile

[@kennywheelus6857]

Kool,it'll be easier caring that one on your side,only difference between the two is blade length an handles,you get more powerful chops with the 240mm, but both are great, I'm getting 200mm next to complete the family of blades,I also am getting a puukko or skrama 85 for smaller tasks.

[@kennywheelus6857]

@@Thoristesting ,yea I agree with you there,especially if your walking around camp site an people get a little edgy with big blades,I'd have the 240mm on my pack for heavier use or as backup, never know just incase.

[@DaryooshF.Sh.P-vq6mu]

Just wanted you to know we are truly a soul in two bodies. Good luck bro

[@hogheadtb6489]

It took me four months to get one and I love it. It is razor sharp from the maker and well constructed.

[@RyanF311]

this knife stays in my pack. I love it.

[@huejanus5505]

Another fine addition to the collection.

[@steelfanatic918]

Very nice review. I own the Jaakaripuukko 110 and love it. I'm waiting for the Skram a to come back in stock so I can buy it!

[@kennywheelus6857]

Finally got myself one of these to go with my puukko 140mm, an omg,they a beasts of a duo set,damn tough,rock on Thor,great review

[@adamdarby43]

Just got my Skrama a few days ago and enjoy it. Thanks for the review.

[@Thoristesting]

adamdarby43, you are welcome 😀

[@canofspam4337]

Does it still work great?

[@tonycanniffe2360]

A quality review. Thanks Thor. Mines on the way (:

[@BushcraftSweden]

Very nice! Agree with your analyse, its a no bullshit knife, function is the beauty here..

[@Woodchuckinthesouth]

thor, I love your videos. so great and useful! when you were carving down on the stump, if you lift your hand (creating a steeper angle) you won't move around so easily. same goes for your firesteel. thought I'd help out! ;-) I have the pukko, and I though I'd pair it with this beast. thank you for your video!

[@Thoristesting]

Hi Warrior, thx for adwise, ill try that :)

[@invictus3598]

Great video review! That why I own a Terava Skrama too!

[@Thoristesting]

[@kennywheelus6857]

Awesome I love that new knife,look forward to seeing thst axe knife in your next video, ty.

[@puroritmo9540]

Wow !! The hole on the knife is mean for hang it somewhere

Great work on video mate greetings from spain

[@Thoristesting]

Ahhh Spain, LOTS of fine knife brand from Spain

[@dwcarc]

'Have been looking into 80crv2 as a knife steel lately, and it seems very impressive. It is even tougher than 5160 (which is already one of the toughest steels out there) and has much better edge holding and wear resistance on top of it! It almost seems like a 3v light, or a poor man's 3v! It is also cheap and easy to heat treat. Surprisingly, not many companies or makers seem to be using this steel. Most likely because not many people out there know about it.'

[@Thoristesting]

Hmmm sound interesting, have not heard of it. maybe it is so hard that it brittels easy?

[@misolgit69]

@@Thoristesting actually a contestant on Forged in Fire recently used this steel in the at home part of the show, they really know how to test blades on that show

[@Thoristesting]

@@misolgit69 , they sure do, cool show :)

[@eugeneBai]

Great video! Thx

[@Thoristesting]

SollerS, thx ✌️

[@stevanoutdoor]

Looks like a beast of a knife indeed!

[@JoeDeerRunner]

Just ordered one, waiting in anticipation!

[@Thoristesting]

You will not be disapiontede :)

[@lakrabid]

A very good combination would be to mount a terava 110 or 140 to the skrama sheath. Also maybe a multi-tool or a pocket saw as well. That way you have three tools in one unit.

[@mannihh5274]

Sorry, you are wrong on that hole in the blade, they don't need it for production, it's ment to hang the skrama over a nail at the wall. The spine actually is not a true 90° - as heat treatment leaves the outside somewhat soft, they put a small bevel to the sides of the spine to get to the hard steel inside, works well at scraping though, as you showed. Certainly as close to a one-tool-option as you can get - very much like a Parang machete they use in south-east asia as their only tool. Awesome value.

[@Thoristesting]

Hallo ManniH and thx for sharing :) I did not know that about the 90d. but i makes sence, about the hole in the blade, it is the guyes them self that told me about the hole, but they may have pull my leg :)

[@strangelyjamesly4078]

From the Varusteleka web site "Since people keep asking: the hole in the blade is there for practical production purposes only - it is used to straighten the blades after tempering and during the grinding and sharpening process. Of course you can come up with your own uses for it too, but most importantly it is there for a purpose, not for decoration!"

[@Thoristesting]

Strangely Jamesly , hey there, Jep just as I said for production purpose :)

[@bigyin2794]

Other uses for the hole, bolt on some kind of handle to make a draw knife, use it as a pivot to make a guillotine style Cloggers knife, (see "Advoko makes")

[@Tipi83]

Skrama is awesome knife.

[@Thoristesting]

Tipi83, awesome knifes Some of the best👍

[@JeffB1961]

watched several of your videos and subscribed , thanks for your efforts . comparing the Jääkäripuukko 140 to the Sissipuukko which do you prefer ignoring the exposed ring tang and slightly different blade length ? the sissi leather option looks very interesting . what cutting difference did you find between their different blade thicknesses and grind geometry ? thanks again , jeff

[@Thoristesting]

BOOTYMONSTER, hi jeff, thanks for the comment Just to be sure, the sissipuukko your talking about is that this Skrama?

[@PrepperDel]

Looks an awesome knife, new sub here ATB Del

[@Thoristesting]

thx and wellcome to the family. really a beast of a knife for sure, love it to death!

[@TheLapierre]

Great Review as Always! Would love to hear what you Think of the new Skrama-200 :)

[@Thoristesting]

Have to take a look at that !!!!!

[@John..18]

Can't believe you got through the entire video without saying ,,, Where's the liquor,, (Varusteleka),,, ha ha,,

[@stevek8829]

The hole is similar to a meat cleaver. Are those for straightening as well? I always assumed it was for hanging.

[@Thoristesting]

Steve K, i dont know, but like you said i have seen them in meatcleavers as well. Terävä said that it is only for productions 😀

[@brignonestephane3209]

😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Thor i bought a stromeng-samekniv-9-knife I dont like it because its light and too thin for batoning. I actually bent it. Whould this be more heavy dudy? Heavier for chopping and tougher?

[@1heUndertaker]

The answer is YES ! 4mm thickness, and a different steel.... after seeing the Stromeng, I recommend the Terävä - Skrama :-)

[@danielrudilille]

200 or the 240 for backpacking?

[@Thoristesting]

For Backpacking 200 because of the weight

[@mattkandel2449]

So for us American viewers, this is pronounced Terra-vay Shkama? Is this relatively accurate or just your best guess? Great review! Subbed. Love the sandals! Keep up the good work!

[@Thoristesting]

Hi Matt, LOL that is a cool question, now Danish and Finish is very far from each other langue wise, so Im not sure at all.Im preaty sure about the pronounciation of the Terävä because I have head a Finish dude say it, about the Skrama it is just my best guess, though it is not a Finish word, rather than an old Saxon word :)

[@Spetulhu]

Damn, my Danish is pretty non-existent. But I do manage Finnish, Swedish and English plus some TV-series German. The Skrama part is from the Anglo-Saxon skramaseax, or usually just seax. Finns can't pronounce it like an Englishman would, but I imagine their effort is closer to the old germanic stuff in this regard. Just imagine an angry German pronouncing "skrama" and it's good enough. Really sharp and aggressive sound.

[@StarlancerAstro]

Anywhere to purchase in the US?

[@Thoristesting]

I have no ideer, maybe someone else can comend

[@TheScoundrel70]

No, it's only available through Varusteleka. Their shipping/tracking is very good, 5-7 business days to me in Canada usually. Choosing DHL is a bit quicker (not by much) but very pricy with their "at-the-door" brokerage fees and such.

[@Thoristesting]

Hi Rich, like a walkthough tutorial?

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

It’s derived from the Scandinavian word “kameloso”

[@YPO6]

Heavy duty chefs knife

[@Thoristesting]

YPO6 , sure is😜

[@kuzinit989]

I think the hole is for hanging it on a hook or nail

[@Thoristesting]

I could very well be used for that, but when I asked them (the Produceres) they said that it primary was for use in production :)

[@miikkavalimaki]

Terävä is not the name of firm but brand name of varusteleka knifes.

[@Thoristesting]

Hi Miikka, hmmm I did not know that, the guys at Terävä /Verustelaka never said anything when I talked to them, but if you say so. So the Terävä is a brand, must se to correct that :)

[@DragoonGlass]

Cool review, since you made this they don't have a 90 degree back anymore for some reason. Annoying. Still great knife though.

[@Thoristesting]

Hmmm strange, why would they remove the 90d back, have you askede them? Do you want me to here the good people of Terävä?

[@DragoonGlass]

@@Thoristesting I dunno, but I like varusteleka, it's a great company I'm sure there's a good reason. And no, I'll probably ask them next time I buy something, but thanks. You're a good bloke thor.

[@Thoristesting]

@@DragoonGlass , they really are, make sure to let me know what you find out :)

[@jasonswiatkowski9127]

It is because of the differential heat treatment. The outer layer of steel is softer and harder to use with a ferro rod. The angle now exposes harder steel. It throws more sparks.

[@derekstynes9631]

Who needs an Axe with Thor around ?

[@Thoristesting]

Spot on :)

[@StelmansLT]

Will somebody from Finland put down a real pronunciation of words "Terava, Jaakaripuukko, Skrama" so we all stop butchering those words? Thank you in advance.

[@Thoristesting]

:) sounds like a good Idea !!

[@edxamador]

the type of blade its based on a skramaseax or a seax more than a Leuku

[@tagatubos]

Here's a pronunciation of those words in finnish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nae2SnlsSdj5Y Word Skrama is a slang word and it means strong, sturdy, so one..

[@heivain4330]

@@tagatubos Skrama isn't slang, it's just a shortened version of the word skramasaksi which is the ancient word for a seax.
