    You’re mom’s sandwich brought back some nostalgia for me. I remember a camping trip with my parents as a kid and my mother made a childhood favorite of hers that she called “Egg in a hole” which was a simple griddle toast with the egg in the middle.

      Ok nice, how cool is that! So this was not so obscure recipe as I thought after all.
      Good to hear that it brought up good memories! Thanx for watching!

    Liked the pan. Looks great. In fact, everything you used - pan, stove, knife - really worked well! Great video!
    I seem to remember that the egg in the hole trick first originated (around here) in a Boy Scout cook book, if I'm not mistaken. Lots of people (myself included) use a drinking glass to make a circular hole in the bread. The peppers are a new idea to me, though. Makes sense that a Finn would use rye bread! Mmmmm! 😋
    I made a couple of leukkos from blades I bought, but gave them away. I miss having one. They're light and nimble for such a large knife.
    Good stuff! 👍

      Cool, a boyscout cookingbook! So apparently people are familiar with this elsewhere after all. Here in Finland not many people know the recipe. At least not in my circles.
      Really tought im going to mess it up badly, as I was bit in a hurry, and never did those in outdoors:) But turned to be quite nice. The rye bread actually works pretty well indeed!
      The first time im have started using a Leuku. Surprised how much I like the control I have with it, nimbelness, and also the blade shape.
      And definitely for the price really awesome knife!
      Thanx for watching and have a fantastic day!

    Erapuu leuku is a beautiful knife and cuts very well so easy to keep sharp, i use it as one tool option and to prepare meat. very good and well made.

      Its a very nice blade indeed. I use it all the time in the woods. Have it on my bagpack, and I have a smaller knife on the belt. Thanx for watching, and have great day!

    Interesting design..I don’t see the Leuku in the US market. I did however get my hands on what I call my “Super Puukko”...a Brisa Trooper 115. I haven’t had it out yet but I’ve been wanting to try 80crv2 steel for some time. It has similar geometry to one of my favorite woods knives, an Old Enzo Nordic...

    • @OldForestBushcraft
      @OldForestBushcraft  Год назад +1

      Brisa trooper looks like a great Blade! Should check that one out really.
      80crv2 steel is becoming like a National Steel of Finland, lol! We have this thing that we have to have National thing for everything: national fish, national bird, national tree the list goes on, lol.
      I met the owner of the Laurin Metalli (maker of 80crv2). Hes of third generation of steel making (also great knife designer). Nice, down to earth guy.

      80CrV2 steel is a saw steel and not bad when used with knives (The edge retention is comparable to 1095). It is a low alloy steel that is very forgiving in the heat treatment.
      My only complaint is that when used as a knife steel, I think the vanadium content is low.

    Yes egg in a hole and variations are pretty common across the Western world and IMO putting an egg in a sandwich is the only reason to flip one but so many people don't like a 'wet' egg 😇

    I love the looks of that old norse knives, but tbh i am not a big fan of a scandi grind. For me a flat grind with a bevel does it, way more versatile. But each to his own....

    • @OldForestBushcraft
      @OldForestBushcraft  Год назад

      I do like also the full flar grind a lot! It probably is the most versitale grind. Though my favorite grind is probably saber or really really high scandi.

    Always liked the Leuku idea, never understood the difference between Leuku and Puukko, at first i thought one was small and other was big and different in blade height, then i found out there are smaller Leukus and bigger Puukkos :) . last week i bought the 240 Skrama but i think this is much heavier than a Leuko 284g vs 525g. perhaps the Skrama 200 is a better comparison. I have never seen an Erapuu Leuku 240mm , is this an older model ?

      Actually said wrong in the video its 210. Somehow had 240 in my head, lol! I would say that In general traditional Puukkos are much much smaller. For example the Jääkäripuukko is a modern take and pushing it (great knife of course). But yehah, would say Puukkos over 115 mm are already rare. Also the blade shape is different. Much more center balanced. Puukkos are more compact bushcraft belt knives, and not choppers like Leukus. In Lappland where the Leuku comes from is lots of small bushy birch trees so you kind of needed a machete type of chopper. But of course one can do also many other things with Leuku.

    Fried pepper and scrambled egg sandwiches are indeed an Italian (or at least Italian-American) thing…served on rye bread sounds nice! The Erapuu leukku seems like a versatile and efficient tool. I have a heavier forged (Pornovarsi I think) one that may be a better woods knife, but not so good in the kitchen…maybe I’ll try to get an Erapuu blade…

    • @OldForestBushcraft

      Nice!
      So my hunch was not that bad afterall!😃 Then my mother must have learned that from her Italian friends..
      Should check The Puronvarsi Leuku also! Looks fantastic!
      Thanx for watching man!
