That's true Andy. There isn't too many camp chores you need small knife if you don't do decorative carving stuff. Sure you can do all those with small knife, but big just makes it faster and less effort imho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not so sure of steel exactly, but Lauri makes it's blade. Same company make most of the finnish small puukkomakers blades who uses readymade factory blades, like Kellam for example. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got Varusteleka Skrama few weeks ago and was amazed how well it performs as jack of all trades. It's full tang and have quality (Lauri's) carbon steel blade. It's also very affordable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back in the days 90% of axes in Finland was shaped like that made by Bilnäs. You can still find good or OK condition heads from fleamarkets around 5-20 year each. I have several of those heads and few ol Bilnäs axes. They mostly had quite thick bit compared to swedish axes like Gränsfors and...

Nice to see people like finnish puukkos here. Jukka Hankala´s are really top notch quality! Nylunds I don´t have experience, but looks good though.

I used 240 and 400 grit papers. Last (4th) coating of Danish Oil I rubbed with 000-steel wool which polishes wood a bit more. Between sandings I wet and dried the handle to get fibers rise up. I left handle little rough by purpose since knife will be hard user where good grip is essential...

Hi! I´m 77 born finnish guy whos been hooked on nature, primitive skills and edged tools more than 25 years now. I live in southern part of Finland with my wife and soon 2 year old son. That´s for short, more later Best Regards Finnman

My old Mora have been used hard more than 20 years now and you can see it´s like a spike now because of constant sharpenings. Now he´s retired and never get used again.

I would say: 1) Marttiini Condor skinner broad blade (have been working nicely for me around 6 years as all purpose outdoor knife) 2) EnZo trapper or if you want longer blade Camper model 125mm D2 micarta handles. D2 won´t rust very easily and in scandi grind it´s very sharp and useable blade...
