That looks interesting. I don't need one but....
If you would like some vinyl cut for either jar labels or for masks to etch the glass surface give me a shout. I've just picked up a cutter module for my 3d printer.
Thanks Grebby, I'll bear that in mind once I work out the herbs I want to pack
Varusteleka Skrama Double Sheath with a Skrama 240 and a Jääkäripuukko 85 in it. I added to this a second Jääkäripuukko 85 in the leather sheath plus a handful of moral patches.
I have finally succumbed and a Skrama 240 is winging it's way to me.
Yes, Varusteleka is a great company. I have all of their current Skrama and Jääkäripuukko and regularly carry them into Everglades National Park.
If I had one desire to improve these knives it would be that they be offered in some form of stainless steel. The Peltonen knives, have an N690 steel option that I think is great. I carry the Peltonen M07 in N690 quite a bit with no worries about rusting in the humidity.
With the tarrifs, I try to pick up the superb Finnish made knives when they appear on sale. Varusteleka offered a 15% discount for Independence Day to USA addresses, to help offset the tariffs. Additionally, they have a loyalty plan that is quite easy to move to their premium level. At that level, shipping, from Finland to my home in Florida is cost free to me.
Picked up a British army shemagh today. Such a handy bit of kit in the summer.
And, there's some population control to be getting on with, so bought these too.

They have been but if I remember correctly there were some production issues with it, have to ask when I'll visit the shop on Thursday.
That's what I read. At the same time the Peltonen M07 M690 steel knives are made at Laurin Metalli Oy. Isn't that the same company that makes the Varusteleka knives? I missed out on the stainless Jääkäripuukko 85 that came out this year but was able to get a few of the Jääkäripuukko 80 and two of the kitchen knives, all in stainless. The stainless Jääkäripuukko are not as thick as the carbon steel blades but I reckon they don't need to be.
I saw this if anyone wants something similar , it uses a shotgun caddy which can be sourced cheaply - if you get some of the vitamin C tube containers from Lidl / Aldi you can trim them down to fit.
If you stick them on the outside they'll be even more effective
and very much so
That's remarkable. I have carried salt, pepper and sugar packets obtained from fast food joints while hiking and have been told I overthink things. You've taken your hiking food game to the next level.
