Price : 54.99 USD with the sheath - $30 with no SHEATH
Leather Sheath - plastic insert - double folded leather
Very strong
Excellent seams and stitching
Snap retention - when walking around camp, it doesn’t have to be snapped - tight enough to keep it secure
Leather belt loop
Very ridged
High scandi grind
Rubber texturize handle
Tacky. Doesn’t slide around - tough, has lasted my months of use.
Wet or dry, very secure
I like the palm swell
Feels awesome
Full tang
Lanyard hole - Pummel
Sharp spine - finger nail
Fine quality carbon steel, traditional Finnish puukko blade profile with a slight drop point and a practical grind guarantee a razor sharp knife straight out of the box, and it's easy to maintain too. This is the shorter model, blade length 110 mm.
The Jääkäri (or Jaeger for you foreign devils, the name derives from the backbone infantry of the Finnish army) is nothing fancier than a very simple, very practical puukko knife. The Jääkäri is a buddy you can trust to get the job done and you don´t need to be too careful either, these are built for use.
Specs
Steel: Carbon Steel 80CrV2 59 HRC
Blade Length: 4.3" or 110 mm
Blade Height: 1" or 26 mm
Blade Thickness: .157" or 4 mm
Blade Edge: 23 Degree Scandi with micro secondary bevel
Spine Edge: 90 Degree
Handle: Full Tang
Handle Material: Direct Molded Textured Rubber
Overall Length: 9.5" or 240 mm
Weight (w/out sheath) 6.17 oz. or 175 g.
Blade
Traditional and proven functional Finnish puukko profile. The thickness of 4 mm makes this a bit more robust than most old timey traditional Finnish puukkos. The grind is a scandi grind with a tiny secondary bevel, truly the most common type of puukko grind.

These knives sale VERY quickly so you will need to move quickly if you want one.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely! It is everything that a good forest knife needs to be.
Sharp. Simple. Rugged. Inexpensive.
If this version is sold out at the time that you are watching it, I have included a link to the other knives that are for sale. There are numerous versions including longer ones which you may want to consider.
This is one of the most impressive knives that I have seen and used in a long time. For the money, I’m not sure if I can think of a better product that would compare to it. In my book, this knife is trust worthy and I would equally consider it just as good as any Mora! That says a lot!
Out of the box it does through sparks and mine has done very well but I have seen comments from others whose spine has been slightly rounded.

Not $30 anymore over $40 and around $76 to $81 with the leather knife sheath still a good value.
So did you tried it? Making your first DIY Leirikyrpä, I demand a picture of it! I totally dropped from my sofa laughting loud when I saw that paper :D Greetings from finland!
I have the 140 and the Terävä Skrama. Love them. Some of the best tools that I have ever used.
My 140 is incredible. One of my favorite knives I own. Well made at a reasonable price
Yes they are brother,they are very stout an tough as hell,mine is still holding its edge retention decently since everything I've put it through.
it is 85 euro kids
It is still on sale at the varusteleka.com. That is a Finnish webshop, the one that originally ordered the knife into production under their own brand "Terävä". Actual manufactor is Laurin Metalli Oy, very traditional "small" workshop since 1918, mainly focused on knives (puukot) in upper 3/4 Finland, also known as Pohjanmaa. Pohjanmaa has taditionally been the puukko area of manufacturing, most of the known brands come from that area of Finland. Best knives in the world, allthough Mora in neighboring Sweden is also very very good indeed:)
I ordered one of these based on your review. Shipping from Finland only took about a week, and the quality of the knife and sheath are far greater than I expected for the price. Thanks for the recommendation!
Just to let you know. This was the first video I ever saw on this knife and I actually bought this knife based off this video when it came out. I absolutely love this knife. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
Great review and video. Thanks for sharing. The Jaakaripuukko 110 carbon steel is one of my top faves! Love this knife--simple, functional, and solid.
Great video 👍🏻, I just ordered 2 of these 110 as well as the 140 along with some other bushcraft outdoor gear from the Finnish store and man , you're right about their prices , good deals on a lot of great products ! Looking forward to receiving my knives and other gear ! Thanks for the review 👍🏻🇺🇸✌🏻️
Thanks for a very informative and honest review of the knife, have subbed your channel. All the best from Scotland. Garry
Great review.... sold me on the value looking forward to getting mine!
Wow super review was instant in love! I live near Finland so just ordered one! Unbelievable €85 for the 110 with leather sheath!! Amazing knive amazing history amazing price. Thanks!
They are definitely worth the money, I got mine last April, took almost two weeks like it said but got it 5 days early, been impressed with it ever since,mine is 140mm, tough as hell an easy to sharpen when you get your angle right,hair popping sharp.
Thanks for this interesting review. I have the 140 MM bladed version, and have just sent for the same but in stainless steel. I have been absolutely delighted with my knife. I am a great fan of Scandinavian knives, having bought my first, a "Marttiini Lynx", in 1966. It served me well for decades, until somebody stole it. Conditions where I live, Scotland, are similar to Scandinavia (it is not far away) and what works well there, does so here. i have bought other things from "Varusteleka", a jacket, hats and fine leather belt. Quality alway excellent, service first class. What an outrageous sense of humour! I love it.
🙋🤗🇫🇮⚔️💖 thanks knife friend! For honoring us Finns! And showing good folks this!
Ordered several times from our Finnish friends. They do have a great sense of humor in their descriptions, and their shipping to the US is around $10. I can't get things shipped from either coast to the Midwest for that. It really is unbelievable, but I like it. Merry Christmas to everyone.
Puuukos have a great reputation here in Europe! Great review, Luke! Cheers, Marc
this company is awesome the OGR for ur reviews i would have never found them
Your presentation is very impressive. It looks like a work of art. Merry Christmas Brian 76
I have the 140 model. It feels like a much smaller knife as it is so well balanced and ergonomic. A real pleasure to use.
Hello! I just bought one, following your link to Varusteleka! Thanks a lot for the review, it helped me define which knife to buy ...
Just bought this knife as well as the stainless steel version. Amazing quality / value! Thanks Luke!
You are welcome brother, enjoy!
- Luke
Great review Luke thank you. Can't believe the price.
I like the sound of the channel. Positive, and practical. Keep on the good work.
This thing is soo finish. Make a traditional knife that is a: cost effective b: reliable c:practical. Make it 100% functional, don't give a dime for decoration. A machine. And then name it what? Aurora? Stardust? Galaxy? Destroyer? No! Name it "sharp hunter knife". I love it.
Fantastic looking knife... I will really be considering picking one up
Great review. Got the 110 and it’s everything Luke said. Had to wait a bit for it to come back into stock, but very happy. Prices are a touch higher in late March 2024 (guess what’s normal)
Nice! Merry Christmas TOGR =^.^=
Dude that knife looks awesome... I will be ordering one soon after the holidays. ..
all gone :D
That is a fantastic knife. Just ordered two more of them (23.12.2016) to give them as presents to friends of me.
I like your easy and funny stile in this review.
Marry christmas and a happy new year to all of us, cheers.
Merry Christmas to you all!
2017 is right around the corner! - Luke
I just got mine a few minutes ago and it is awesome! Sharp too.
Mine was delivered today and it is everything you said it was.
Purchased the 140 in carbon steel. Looks like I got in quick enough since it is now sold out again. You weren't kidding about them going fast. Thank you for what you do. It motivates me to get out there. I tend to get lazy with the usual 9 to 5 grind. Once in the woods, I turn into a different person. The trees and rocks seem to energize me. It sounds corny but it really is true.
I just received the 110. Outstanding shipping. Ordered on a Thursday evening and had it in hand on Monday! I had been vacillating between this and the Garburg. I have not had it out in the wild yet so all I've done is a couple of try sticks. Suffice to say I'm very happy with it and am very pleased with this tool.
Thanks for the endorsement. Ordered mine and received it in less than 2 weeks for $8 shipping. Great knife.
Great stuff! I have the Skrama and my 'Puukko is on the way now!
Sweet Looking Great Review !
Thanks Alan. Have a great weekend. - Luke
I will receive mine today or tomorrow in 140 as my own little feast present. I'm really looking forward to it. Merry Christmas from Germany! :)
the only thing that I liked more than the 110 was your enthusiasm and sheer energy during the review.
I received my knife this afternoon. The hype is real. This is my EDC blade. This well made and I can shave with it out of the box. I was only able to the knife first, but I will be getting the sheath. I hope they are still not on strike. I found that out. This knife does everything. The best knife hands down. Kudos to Varusteleka. Bad Ass👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Jääkäripuukko=Jaeger knife
hunters knife*
johannes grondah while jaeger means hunter, in Finnish it has different meaning, that is an infantryman. Literal translation would be more like light infantryman knife.
@@perttutorvinen9180 It also means light infantry in Germanic languages, like German, Danish and Norwegian.
Knives in Finland are usually measured person by person. What I have been taught is that a knife (to be a normal "use it to everything" -campknife or hikingknife) should not be longer than the width or you palm + 1 cm (~1/3 inc). That is also why there is normally a womensknife and a mansknife. They very lenghtwise a bit, so it is more ergonomic for the user. Of course then there is also other lenghts of knife for different purposes and I myself own quite many different size knives as well. Luckily everyone in our family is a bit knifecrazy :D
"Luckily everyone in our country is a bit knifecrazy" -fixed :)
Fredrik Dahlström lol thank you :D
I've got a bunch of gear from that page. Their wool hoodie, and softshell jackets are fantastic.
I am looking forward to trying more of their gear.
got one, thx Luke!
that is one beautiful knife. I'm not usually impressed by most knives but this one is great. thanks, brother!
The thing that really stands out to me about this knife is that it's exactly what it should be; it's rough, tough, it's not flashy. It's a tool. It's meant to be used. - Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview agreed! For the cost I'm not sure I've seen better. The sheath is outstanding as well. It's on my bucket list for sure!
I got the long version & hands down it beats any mora. Great knife & good review dude.
All Scandinavian bushcraft staff are amazing! 😀
Looks like a great value without a doubt.
For clarification to some: Puukko does not equal every knife in finnish. Puukko means hunting outdoor oriented knife. Other knives are called veitsi.
You are absolutely correct! I would at least expect this guy to pronounce Jaakaripuukko correctly, but that might be too much to ask. Cheers, Steve
you forgot mora
Thanks for sharing nice looking knife
5 years on and it’s doubled in price, unsurprisingly. Just got mine today!
Only bad thing so far is I am still waiting for mine to show up. Ordered a carbon and a SS 140 and its been almost a month. So all I can do is drool over the reviews that others have done! Thanks though! You make me spend a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ with all of your reviews!
They are great knives
wow!!! very nice!!!
it's nice to see bigger bushcraft CZcamsrs doing reviews of Terävä knives that aren't the Skrama. The Skrama and this puuko are my go-to knives. They're both incredible. if you're looking for a chopper look at the Skrama. it's the best chopper I've ever used. better than the ESEE Junglas.
this is a tool, not a fancy gadget, an excellent product with lots of tradition, prime budget variant for the Finnish army. With my Mora`s and Helle`s absolutely unbeatable!
thanks! dec 22nd was my birthday and u reminded me to go check the website to see if there was stock by posting this video been waiting forever finally got one! who knows might not have seen it on my email before they were sold out again.. 30 when i first looked and 27 now. fly off the shelf like hotcakes lol.
HAPPY Late BIRTHDAY from your buddy Luke!
I hope that it was a great one! - Luke
Incredible knife!
MegaTreblinka Check out martiini puukot trust me my first puukko was a martiini and never have i had to get a new one (Im Finnish trust me)
Definitely, Marttiini knifes are top-quality!
Its certainly up there with the best, when price is considered. Which it should be, imo.
Peltonen M95 / M07 is another solid and very similar option, also available from Varusteleka.
Hey Luke, I love the videos. How would you compare this to a Becker bk2?
Unfortunately, I suffer from a disease called TMM (Too Many Moras), so I will not be getting the Jaakari. I have dealt with Varusteleka before, and they were great.
Haha I have this disease as well......it can't be cured! - Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview But the symptoms can be treated with TMP (too many puukkos).
the damn things have to go and be damn near indestructible and affordable to boot.
Never got around to reviewing mine, but I was able to get one after signing up for email notification. Like you said they sell fast and show up randomly. Get on the email list to be first notified everyone!
How long have you had yours for? How is it holding up? - Luke
just got mine and its sweet, worth pointing out it also fits into a Mora knife sheath. so i can still sit them on top of each other.
Your the second person I've seen an heard of their funny package where you have to carve a you know what out of wood,lol,I find it funny too,kinda wished I had opted for the total package with birch wood,but I'm pleased with what I got,you also get options for right or lefthand carry sheath when ordering too,I like that.
I have the longer version of this knife. really great knife. better than the garberg.
Hi Luke, awesome review. I ordered a few knives from here awhile back from one of the other first videos about this company, I have the MFH Pilot survival knife and the Mil Tec Bolo Machete, they are amazing, i love them both, plan on ordering the 140 in the future. -Jake. I hope you and your family have a Happy Merry Christmas!
Did Lucas ever carve those wooden spoons?
merry Christmas luke. Nice video, almost bought a knife i don't need lol. i have a question though, where do you get the pants that you're wearing in that video ? I've been trying to look for some coyote brown pants like those that don't break my wallet.
I love this knife especially the 140 just a bit more length for me, gonna really look at getting one after the holidays LOL to broke even for this awesome deal of a price.
I like this more than the Mora Garburg and the price is crazy better than the Mora for a much better sheath and grip.
Okay. My knife came in in Saturday and I can definitely say that I like it better than the Bushcraft Black.
ill take your word luke .... just ordered with sheath £62.88 to the uk
I'm still impressed with my 140 an I plan on getting the skrama also an maybe a 110 as a smaller task knife.
Just ordered mine!
I spent a week here at Pigeon Forge.. spent a few days at Smokey Mountain Knife Works and checked out the TOPS BoB, ESEE 4/5/6 and 4hm, 6hm, Benchcraft Bushcraft, Mora Garberg (All sub 120 btw) and settled on the Garberg , I saw your video and ordered a Puukko instead.. SMKW by the way has better prices than any online website. especially ESEE and TOPS. But not Condor/Mora. Well after much debating I ordered one of these Puukko 110's to replace my Condor Bushlore. I might still go back and pick up a Becker 16 with the money I saved.
i'd like to see it. also i've bought the jama blanket shirt and the woods knife 110. cheers
Has the sheath retention relaxed at all? The sheath is a great deal but
the retention seems to prevent a quick single handed draw.
Do you know if there's a reason the bevel angle increases past the belly to the tip? At first I thought the blade thickness might be tapered but it appears to be the same the whole length. I suppose that makes for a stronger tip, any thoughts?
How does this compare to the mora garberg and bushcraft black? Is one better than the other? I've been bouncing back and forth between these three for a few weeks now and I can't make a decision
I have the skrama....am now debating if I should pick up one or two of these....🤔
perkele
Nice review & puuko history & info. Looks like a beefier full tang Mora Bushcraft Black. I must have one. Also the 140 version. Cheers.
I suspect I know what the blurred image is by looking at the moustache sporting, black leather cap & harness wearing disco dude on the page.
will definitely look at this as a contender against Mora
merry Christmas
got on the mailing list for 110 a& 140 carbons w/sheath when they have more in stock . will be my 2nd bushcraft/camp/fishing knife . my 1st/current is a condor kephart , blade is ok but i want a grippier handle and a much more secure sheath and a steel harder than 1095 without breaking the bank . the VTJ's locking dangler is very handsome IMO and looks solid and 59 HRC . plus scandi is supposed to be the bees knees so i'll get to try several new flavors of koolade , haha . thanks for your videos ;) .
Thanks for the review Luke... where's the coffee... lol
it shows how bad we are overpaying for other knives
Very true RedWhite!
I've got the coffee in my hand right now. :D - Luke
Very true!!
Brother Luke nice jacket.
That's a tool made for hard use. I have one, and it's the best value in a knife I've ever owned
Can't wait for my 140mm to come in
I just ordered the knife! But I got the 140. I hope I'm not sorry. But I looked at it like a survival knife. I have a martini timberjack I also like better than mora! It just has this hand guard on it and seems Slightly more substantial. So I got that its great. But I wanted to kick it up a notch! Even though I'm just a girl and should have even got smaller than the 110. But ya know my area not so safe. Thats mostly why I wanted the big one and I saw a Russian on CZcams break a ka bar. Gosh! Geez! That was sad! So far no one has broken this one! Knock on I'm mean cut on wood! So yeah!!!!!!! I can't wait to get it. Rock on Luke!
How do you sharpen a Scandi with a micro bevel?
In the northern parts of Finland traditionally the handle is often made from raindeer bone. Receiving a puukko is a kind of coming-of-age tradition in Finland
Ile Salmo not often its sometimes usually its wood
Something about how this knife is made seems to have changed since this video was posted. I have handled six or seven examples of this knife in the past year or so, and every one of them has a 45 degree bevel on the spine. It will strike a ferro rod, but only with a good deal of effort and a touch of finesse. I will be squaring mine up soon, because even my old Schrade 3-blade stockman makes better sparks than this knife does. That said, I love the knife in every other aspect and bought it after trying Moras, Jokers, and even an ESEE-3.
4 yrs later, are you still using your knife? Are you still happy with it? Any other issues? Could you give me an update?
Luke, My Traditional Puukku is the Stromeng Bhuku STAK Puukku and my Modern Puukku is my Cold Steel SISU it's a close copy of Tapio Wirkkala Puukku, But in the San Mai 3 with Stainless Bolster and Pommel and the Handle is Linen Micarta with a Beautiful leather sheath. infact I have them posted on my Google Plus. ,, .
I ordered my knife on the 15th and live in the U.S. How long did it take to get to you?
I love your finnish pronouncing :) Varusteleka is awesome store.
Haha Hopefully I'm not messing it up too badly. A southern man isn't know for pronouncing things correctly. haha
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview knowing their sense of humour they would be laughing their butts off, especially since they recently opened a bar in the store and do actually sell beer made by different small breweries. 😂 Hyvää Joulua! (Merry Christmas in Finnish). 😊
That's an absolute bargain for $55, I have a slightly cheaper but very similar scandi, a Bahco 2449 'Wrecking Knife', it's got a plastic sheath, but generally can be bought for about £20 (sorry, I'm a Limey) . Mine stays near my stove for turning kindling into feather sticks for fire lighting. Very similar blade geometry and measurements, so I can understand why you love yours, especially in that sheath.
Okay sold me..I am ordering one....
Very nice looking knife. Of course me being me I would prefer it with wooden grips. (I tend to be old fashioned.)
Ed
Have you reviewed the new 85
have heard experts say the best knives in the world come from Lappland. saw a nice documentary on it too. The traditional authentic ones are mindblowing pieces of art and of course craftmanship. Also: i just ordered mine :D
May it serve you well my friend.
- Luke
Thank you Luke!! I am so happy with it man. A very serious, brilliantly "basic" knife, it feels and lies absolutely perfect in my hand, love the grip.My mom said its rather heavy but what does she know, honestly for me its just right and even on the light side, in total its like its not there but only very subtly, like part of the hand! So mean!! cant wait to use it. Now I have much bigger knives but my brother said "you could kill a bear with that " to my 110 - hes probably right :D The sheath is gorgeous and so practical as well. What a steal. Happy new year and Take care
Finnish martiini knives have blade nowdays made in italy...so its crap
How do you know if it’s a full tang or a rat tail tang?What does it look like under the Handle?
i didnt kno connor mcgregor did youtube reviews lol just playing awesome review friend
Better get it quick. got an email from var. in the evening that they have it back in stock (56 pieces) i wanted to order one the next day, gone.
That DIY Cock thing is like tradition with their army. They carve one out when they make camp. Search for the word leirikyrpä.
Merry Christmas
Nice jacket. I've got a marmot bag I've been sleeping in for about 5 years everyday. It has klear K tape holding some stitching together and I love it. Funny thing is I'm not homeless, I'm just crazy like that :)
