The Big One is a truly a one off, its actually functional if one has the proper size hands ...
I'll have to ask about the hole, I don't see see any reason for it though. It's not really needed for heat treatment.
I was told a few days ago that they are thinking about making a truly full tang version of the Jääkäripuukko.

Maybe to hold the piece stable?
Makes sense.
I can see it being quite useful.
I have never had one, I am more into small knives. But the design, the sturdiness, seems excellent.
Wonder if anybody has replaced the handle for a nicer one?

Fiskars use this hole on their brash hooks. It’s to stack the cooling blades flat by threading several on a long pin to prevent warping. It can be annoying in use when slashing at brash, but an essential part of the production process.
True, Nice65. I am getting old, I should have remembered that.
The new ones have it, I think the old ones with the wood handle too.
Need to check. I have both.
( another project, to rejuvenate the old one. Used it for years and years while trekking in Scandinavia. Memories!)
Who makes these Scramas? Terävä is the manufakturer?
I checked and it means ’sharp’ in Finnish

Yeah I've read that somewhere about mass produced long blades....might have been related to condor knives maybe
Terava is Varustelekas brand name for their knives but they are made by Laurin Metalli Oy.
Could not find those. But I do know that they are not very happy about the idea. On jääkäripuukko it makes the handle more difficult to make without any real advantage. On skrama might be different but not quite certain about it.
Looking at the Finnish store site, the Scrama already has a full tang construction, but the metal is surrounded by the handle.
No point changing the design to a full tang with exposed metal on the bottom and/or spine.
The whole production line would need to be changed.
I am sure it is customer request based.

The grip material has to be harder.
Plus, people forget how Carbon steel behaves in inaccessible places.

Jääkäri + puukko
Jääkäri comes from German "Jäger" meaning at the time (WW1) a certain kind of light infantry (and also hunter).
It is thick because it was made as a heavy duty puukko for soldiers.
