Mark, I very much like the care you take to select and parse your words. You often take a little extra care to elaborate on _why_ you make those distinctions. I'm not a bushcrafter, I'm just an older guy that likes camping and being better prepared and learning a bit more about the terminology. Thank you for all your reviews.
Thank you for your kind words
love Joe X, you can read between the lines to get how durable some knives are, he is a funny dude. Love your reviews also, very laid back no nonsense. Also love Varusteleka stuff, like that you can order their knives in different configurations, even left hand (we do suffer in the knife world) or no sheath at all.
Joe can be a bit extreme but it is always interesting to see what abuse a knife can take. Thanks for commenting
Great video! And I appreciate the shoutout to Joe X. He might be extreme, but I think he does a great job of showing the durability of different steels and blade types.
Joe's videos do serve a purpose for sure. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark,
As a long time user of the SRK (my all-time favorite general purpose knife and primary wilderness "survival" blade) who greatly enjoyed the recent vid you made about it, I must say that your comparison between the SRK and the TJ 140 was very appropriate and totally spot on. Your thorough comparison/evaluation was not at all a ramble, especially for those of us that rely on all those important details when choosing which one would be the better of the two in a survival situation. Those finer points (no pun intended) matter a lot, at least to me, and presumably others as well, and I think you called it perfectly. The SRK's greatest weakness, at least from a hard-use survival perspective, sad to admit, certainly would be it's acutely pointed and thinly profiled tip, even though that style of tip definitely has advantages in other uses. No one can argue about that - not even this old die-hard SRK fan - especially after painfully watching JOE X break off/delaminate that tip into a large log. 🤦♂😢
After watching your review, I have concluded that one could hardly go wrong taking the incredibly versatile and strong Jaakaripuukko 140 "to the ends of the earth and back" with little to no regret, and because of that, I now count it as one of the top choices for a multi-purpose blade. Glad that Varusteleka saw the wisdom in producing a 30 mm longer version of the fine 110!
Update: Ok, so after hearing you say that Joe X did a video on the 140 (and 110), I got curious and checked it out just to see at which point the knife/tip would fail. Oh my goodness - zero tip failure! What a tough blade!👍😍
Thanks once again for your ever thorough and honest reviews which we all greatly benefit from. Wishing you and yours all the very best!
I do own and like the SRK as well but as far as outright durability, the 140 has it beat. Thanks for commenting
Hey Mark! I am loving these videos on these knives. I've gotten interested in Bushcraft about half a year ago, and since then I was looking for a knife that would be budget-friendly, as I dont have a lot of money, and a knife that would be quality. So I came across Terava Jaakaripuukko but only after already getting a garberg, later I sold the garberg because I didn't like the ergonomics on the handle, in fact I find that handle quite bad, quite uncomfortable in my hand. Then I got Puukko 110, and loved it the second I grabbed it...theyre just amazing...the price COULD be lower as I did pay over 100 euros for mine...but...I understand things aint cheap and this really is quality. I still cannot find a better knife for the price, it just works! Works like a charm! Love it!!!! I hope u can make another puukko video, or if u ever used it in any video can u send me the link so I can watch it? :)
I agree. All the Terava knives are high value for sure. Thanks for commenting
Besutiful wear on that 110! Shows you take good care of it.
I have both 110 and 140. The 110 I carry in tandem with Terävä Skarama 240 and in my mind that is a perfect combo.
When I am out with a smaller load and pack (a sausage grilling trip as I call them) I usually take the 140 which works better alone in woodprocessing than 110 (need to get that fire for the sausages).
But now way around it. Both of those knives and the Skrama are just awesome working knives.
Just subscribed to your channel, I am sure I sm going to enjoy the content. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have a few more Terava knife reviews coming. Thanks for commenting
Hallo Mark, my 140 is my favorit knife. I youse it for forest operation, hunting and bushcraft. Bought it for 38 Euro, Only the knife. And my best knife is the skrama 240 from Terava. I have mich products from Teräva and they all realy very good. Thank you for showing.
I agree. All their knives are good. Thanks for commenting
I think it is really about preference and also purpose. I tend to prefer 5-6 inch knives as a general all purpose bushcraft knife, and find the 3-4 inch ones to be a bit more restrictive in certain areas, and a bit easier in others. Bigger knives are easier to use when batoning due to more of the knife protruding out the end (and less risk of breaking the tip) with larger pieces of wood, and the extra weight can help keep a knife a bit more stable when cutting. They also generally featherstick just fine as long as you can get your hand close to the edge. They do suffer a bit with finer work near the tip because of distance, but you can overcome that by grasping the blade by the spine close to the tip (wider blades are easier), or by pinching the blade between your thumb and fingers (obviously do this with the blade pointing away from your hand and cut carefully).
That said I know lots of folks who prefer 3-4" knives. To each their own. Personally I tend to carry a big knife and a small knife like a neck knife, or SAK.
Cheers for the video.
I agree totally. My preference is a big knife and a small knife. Especially if I see myself processing wood for a fire. Thanks for commenting
Great video Mark, thank you. Always enjoy all your videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks for commenting
Terävä knives have a very functional design, meant to work, not please the eye.
I own four, both Skrama (200 & 240) and the 85mm Jääkäripuukko both with and without the rubber handle!
Excellent review and observations!
All great working knives. I have a review on the Jaakaripuukko 85 and Skrama 80 coming soon. Thanks for commenting
im gonna get rid of the micro bevel tho after it gets dull
Excellent review … thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Dear Mark thank you again for this great review! I've got T.J.110 and it is my best one. Well know I am sure I need 140 as well 😂
I have also T. Skrama 200 from my dear wife and this knife is a different ligue... Thank you one more time, I like your videos so much.
You won't be disappointed in owing any of the Terava knives. Thanks for commenting
An excellent knife Mark, great video :)
It is to. Thanks for commenting
Great review as always
I have the 140 in SS
superb in everything
Chops like a hatchet
Does all the fine work
Choke up on the blade for very fine work
Excellent neutral balance
No need for the 110
A bushcraft knife
I sometimes pair this with the small skeleton Skrama as a necker
Also did not see your link to the 110 video
regards…
The small Skrama and small Puukko are not talked about a lot. I have a review coming. Thanks for commenting
Thanks Mark for another honest review. I've found my new grail bushcraft knife in the 110. Thanks again
So good a knife. Thanks for commenting
Enjoyed the review. Particularly enjoyed the view of your hat
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting
agree on the look, but i like that. just pure function. that has something extra, dont care about look, just work
Right on. A true work horse. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Very welcome, Thanks for commenting
Have owned the 110 in leather sheath for a few years. Perfect size for me. ❤
I agree totally Thanks for commenting
Nice review. As handle ergonomics are very important to me, I really appreciated your description of the handle height to thickness ratio.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark, thanks for a very good comparison of the JP 140 and the shorter version as well as the SRK. I have a 140 (had it for over 5 years now) and I like the extra length. In my case, mostly for yard work and processing pruned wood. The extra bit of forward weight helps a lot for delimbing tasks, in fact if you have cut off a larger branch from say a hazel bush and then need to clear off a lot of smaller branches and twigs up to about a centimeter or so in thickness, this thing just sweeps through them. If you need even more delimbing/chopping ability, well... get a Skrama !
I also at some occasions have used that long straight spine to scrape wider pieces of wood, including dirty/greasy kitchen shelves were I needed to take off grease and old varnish before revarnishing them. It did that job admirably well. Plus, indeed, as a work knife that one also ends up prying with (like prying out the kind of staples used to nail barbed wire to poles and tree trunks) that indestructible tip is a great asset, too.
If I would ever be pressed to pick just one single knife to keep for allround bushcraft/yard work/construction/survival, this would be the one. It is a bit more unwieldy on the hip than the 110, and in any case I prefer to carry knives crossdraw on my belt or slung baldric-style on a length of paracord because I often need to kneel and work in restricted spaces where I can't lift my right arm very high to lift a knife out of a belt sheath. The trick I used on the Terava knives is to fold down the belt dangler and strap a piece of velcro tight through the dangler and around the sheath to hold it down tight, so it becomes a belt loop for high/crossdraw carry.
I so agree about the 140 and the rest of the Terava lineup. Interesting trick for creating a high ride sheath. Thanks for commenting
I've had the 110 for 8 years and it's the most bomb proof knife I've ever owned.
Of course I haven't tried to plunge it through a car door like many idiots on CZcams.
I agree totally. Thanks for commenting
Well Worth The Money, My Choice Is The Terava 110 Thanks For Your Show & Tell On These, Mark ! Have A Great Week Ahead ! ATB T God Bless
Great choice. Thanks for commenting Terry
Thanks for the review Mark, definitely looks like a winner. I think the 110 is probably more versatile for the uses I would want it for. Cheers my friend.
Totally agree. Thanks for commenting
Another fine review! Having purchased the 140 first, as the 110s were out of stock at the time, I found that when I did finally get a 110 , it was just so much more controllable. With that said, if I needed a dependable knife in bad situation, that 140 would be a good choice.
I agree. Thanks for commenting
I love my Jääkäripuukko 110 it is a proper work horse. I have used it to prepare wood and even to punch through the ice of a frozen lake to get water in the winter. It has never failed me.
I am not sure about the 140 version since I also have my micro sword, the Skrama 200. That said the 110 is my goto and I only take my Skrama or my hatchet with me when I want to use them because I have not used them in a while. For me the 110 is perfect.
Great combination. I would stay with the 110 and the 200 myself. I do have a review coming for the shorter 85 you may be interested in. Thanks for commenting
Wow it is fresh video!
I was thinking it has 5 years or so :)
But it is very nice and informative, just ordered 140 and wanted to check what the youtube says about it.
All good from Poland
All best 😂
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting
Just watched your video on tje SRK. You mentioned this knife. Now im watching this one, and I gonna buy it. Went to the site and man, they have some really cool stuff.
Lastly, its cool youre also a Canuck. Which for me, means youre giving a review from Canucks persepctive. As alaways, great video and now im going down the rabbit hole. Cheers.
Yeah, knives can do that to you. I am sure you will love this one. Thanks for commenting
The 110 is a great knife. I'd like to own the 140 but I know I'd never really use it. Great review, thanks!
I will probably carry the 110 more as well. Thanks for commenting
Mark, The Pommel of the 110 can be used as the bearing block for a Bow drill. For the 140, the pommel can also be used for the bow drill but it is large, Also for the 140, I scrape the ferro Rod by slanting the cutting edge facing you and scraping down. you'll get better sparks. To prevent any knives to dig down while scraping, I use this technic: put the knife as close to the tinder with the cutting edge on the ground or table etc.,. Scrape the Ferro rod by pulling towards you on the 90* Spine hard. Voila! Problem solved with amazing sparks. Thanks You.
Had not thought of using the pommel as a bearing block. Will give it a try. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Mark, Like Tolkien would say, "One knife to rule them All" I own all 3 sizes. Thanks Stay Safe!
The 110 and 140 look like great quality knives and I will take your word for it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on them Mark!
High value knives for sure. Thanks for commenting Steve
I got the more traditional birch handle puukko from Varusteleka. The WoodsKnife Leuku. Really nice knife, the sheath fits 2 knifes. A 145mm long knife and a shorter 70mm blade. They compilment each other quite nicely and cover any requirement.
Nice choices. I would love to try both of those out. Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, first up, many thanks, ... a very interesting vid to me mate, ....in several ways.
Lotta folks have raved about the 110, ok, but I thought it too short and to be honest the 140 version had previously, somehow, lol, slipped under my radar.
I've had a Skrama 240 for some time now and even though it's not a stainless steel, it has "surprisingly" required very little maintenance, ...... which is a very significant factor in my climate.
There's rubber ..... and there's rubber ..... whatever composition they use, together with the contouring, has been absolutely fantastic.
Sheath, first class too, I have the leather dangler that came with an extra insert, for I assume pack carry.
The only tool I'm really missing is a higher end "scandi bushcrafter". I was looking at, at least a "semi custom" job. Still love a Mora, in the backyard or car camping, but I'm not prepared to rely on one in a potential survival situation, or even a "storm stay"
Bottom line, I'd love a fancy pants job in a SS ...... but performance @ the price, wins IMO.
Next payday I reckon I'll pull the trigger. Cheers Duke.
P.S. I have seen that dude obliterate knives, and yes there is "some" benefit to his testing from a comparison perspective ..... and of course there is the entertainment aspect to it ........... but you can just as easily clamp 'em in a vice and whack 'em with a sledgehammer, or get out an angle grinder ....... and leave out all the in between ...... same end result ........ if that's your thing, lol !!!!!!!
I have had good fortune with no rust on my Skramas and puukkos as well. Joe X is entertaining but not the best representation of what a knife will do if used properly. Still, when I am testing a knife I watch his video to help identify weak points. Thanks for commenting Duke
Very helpful comments!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft I bought the 140 hope I enjoy it!
I have a couple 140's and love them. I also will add that 80crV2 is a supreme steel compared to SK5. I like your videos and the way your explain things. 👍
Love all my Terava knives and the steel is perfect for them. Thanks for commenting
Righty or wrongly I made a negative comment on one of Joe x’s videos and I agree if you put enough effort in, anything can be broken. Since that comment I have found the sense of his content, yes he breaks everything, he also gives an idea of wether you or I would destroy a knife through normal use, it does have value, you don’t even need to watch, if it’s a long video it’s a tough knife. 😂 I need to get back to him soon and praise his efforts. I have the 3v SRK it’s a flat ground knife with a stronger tip although much more expensive. I appreciate the work you do on your channel. Thank you very much.
Good point about Joe's videos. I figured out the same about the length of video.Thanks for commenting
Good review and comparison. I have the full size SRK and it's a solid knife. I have the compact version on the way from Midway and I am looking forward to testing it out. I agree the SRK may not be the best bushcrafting knife, but it can do most tasks adequately. Thanks for your efforts in comparing these knives.
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for commenting
Thx
Thanks for commenting
I am planning to get 110 mm Jääkäripuukko, great bushcraft knife.
You will be very happy with it I am sure. Thanks for commenting
Morning Mark! I’m generally really happy with the stuff they sell (I have a ton of stuff from them), but I had an issue with that plastic insert on my beloved curly birch Puukko I got from them, with the veggie tan leather sheath. The plastic insert sits too high, which makes a little gap for the tip to catch on when reholstering it. Really really annoying. In hind site I should have written them, cuz their customer service is pretty much top notch, but at the time I figured it’s mail order, and I’m not about to send it back to them.
I should get one of these, because I’ve discovered that I almost never take out the birch one because it’s too nice, which is silly, I know, but it’s just so dam nice. 🙂. Anyway, one day I’ll probably open up the sheath, and either cut down or remove the plastic and re-stitch it. It’s not something I use as a regular day to day thing anyway. So there’s no hurry.
These things are true work horses. Not "pretty" like your puukko so you don't mind wailing on them. I have a few knives that will take the abuse but because they are so nice looking I don't want to mark them up. Thanks for commenting Jim
I find 4" is the perfect length for most bushcraft tasks, longer and you are really just getting a better knife for batoning. 3" is a dedicated skinning length for me, but since I don't hunt I prefer 4".
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Thanks for commenting
I carry my knives high at 5 o'clock, I dont like danglers. So on this sheath I would just put a black zip tie through the belt loop and around the body which would give me the carry option I prefer. (I would actually buy it with our one but if given one with the sheath that is how I would modify it. )
Interesting mod I had not thought of. Thanks for commenting
the Sissipuukko or ranger knife is a great alternative
I am hoping to test that soon. Thanks for commenting
My first video for sunday coffee. I don't know, what will be Your opinion (movie stopped at start), but will be significant
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for commenting
Hi Mark. Hope you’re doing well. I’ve got an unrelated question. I’ve been looking to buy the pathfinder French press, because the container is bigger, & multifunctional. But…is a titanium press a better option because the metal doesn’t absorb taste over time, from what I’ve heard. Ultimately, I’d like a press with a multi use container for boiling, & maybe cooking. Thanks Mark. I value your opinion, because you appreciate a good cup of coffee.
I would be happy with either titanium or stainless steel. Either way, I would be cleaning it out between after each use so tastes staying in them is not an issue. I would consider the amount of coffee you want and let that help guide you on the right size to buy. If weight is not an issue, there are a few good options available. Being able to use the coffee pot for cooking or other water boiling makes it more multi-use. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Great advice! Thank you. Have a great weekend 🙏
Thanks for the review! I’ve been beating the hell out of the 140 for 2-years now and I absolutely love it. Glad I chose the 149 over the 110…. My ONLY complaint is I have really big hands (XXL gloves are often tight or too small) and for me the handle is almost too short…. Another 1/4” of length and it would be perfect for me. But for the other 95% of the population it’s probably perfect!
Someone with bigger hands than me. I have XL to XXL but yours are a bit bigger. Does make it hard to find factory knives that are comfortable. These knives are closer than most. Thanks for commenting
To me they are all camp knives. The difference between bushcraft or survival knife is really in the mindset why you bring them. In fact the difference between bushcraft and survival is the mindset. Bushcraft is going into the bush and survival is getting the hell out.
So when going into the bush I select the knife (or knives) I think I'm gonna need for the tasks I plan to do. From something as small as the Mora Eldris to a full size machete these are now my bushcraft knives.
The survival knife for me is the 'just in case knife'. I don't plan on using it but I want to have it with me just in case shtf. Now size, weight and pack-ability come to mind. If the knife is to long, heavy or bulky you will probably leave it at home and not bring it with you on a day-hike.
But to stay with the Mora Eldris I can easily slip that in a pocket, haversack, day pack, etc. without a worry. So now it's my survival knife.
The SRK (Search & Rescue knife) in SK5 steel is a good budget option and the 'weak' point with the false edge can be a blessing or problem depending on what you want to do with the knife. You want to stab the enemy wearing thick clothing it's a blessing. You want to pry in wood to dig out worms it's a problem.
I have both the 110 and 140. If I know I'm gonna baton some thicker wood I bring the 140. As a 'just in case' knife I bring the 110. Or of course if your goal is to do a lot of finer carving.
Thanks for commenting
I think that the quality control of heat treatment 'reputation' comes from a bad batch of skramas that were around several years ago. Not personally aware of any issues with jaakaripuukkos

I purchased the 140 a couple years ago. Could have been a great knife but the grind marks on the primary bevel were horrendous. You could feel it... like it was a nail file. Complained to the maker, he just said that's the way they are.
I got most of it out but it was a lot of work. No reviewer back then seemed to notice, even though I could see it on the one they reviewed. Wondering if they are still sending out knife/files.
It may be that the intent of these knives is more for working and less for fine tasks that a smoother edge would be helpful with. Thanks for commenting

I'm sorry that the video didn't show how good the 140 model is at chopping, in my opinion that's by far its biggest advantage compared to the 110 model, I hope for some comparison in future videos.

@@LEIFanevret That is a great tradition to have. Thanks
Besides batoning, that extra length gives 140 also some chopping capability. Of course not as much as for Skrama but with 140 you can still quite easily chop something like 1cm diameter thick wood with just one strike unlike with 110. In that sense it resembles the leuku knives en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_knife of Sami people, which have typical blade length above 20 cm. Like it's a one knife compromise between carrying both Skrama and 110.
Yes, all good points. Thanks for commenting
