- Does the 200 Puukko from Benchmade have a full tang or is it two pieces?
Seeing the inside gives me some ideas for handles that could be made for this knife!
Thank you for all the support and check out my subscriber giveaway’s!

I was starting to get sad about you ruining the knife and then I realized you could do some custom stuff to it. Nice video, good stuff man!
Yeah no kidding! Was glad to see some existing holes, which now opens up some fun options! Thank you!
Zach’s Stuff what was the diameter of the large holes? Did you add micarta scales?
*Yeah, i was cringing!*
...two of em.
Very cool, outrageous. Something you don't see on a knife channel everyday.
Now please show us the knife with a new handle.
Gallo Shank He means, show us the the dehandled knife after putting a new handle on it.
I appreciate what you did god damn though so nerve watching to watch great information though

We need more videos like this, you know real people applying commonsense it's so rare these days. Thanks man
Thanks- looking forward to making more!! Appreciate the feedback!
“I used the stones to destroy the stones”
Bench made should sell handeless blades- offer at a lower price point and guys/gals can add their own preferred grip material.
That would be a cool option indeed!
I think all brands should
Oh yeah.. A good micarta handle on it would make me happy..
They're called blanks, and a lot of knife companies do sell them, check smoky mountain knife works, they have a decent selection.
Not sure how how much a handeless model would drop the price, still an expensive hunk of steel. But it would still be a cool option.
As someone who sharpens all my knives using waterstones, hearing the scraping of that edge...it sent chills down my spine ha ha.
Gonna have to get this to pair with the leuku. Good vid brother. That gives us an idea of what we're lookin at for handle customization. Much appreciated, brudda!
Hey Zach, Thanks so much for doing that so we could all see! I have been wondering about the tang on the Benchmade Puukko if it was a full-width tang or some kind of 'rat tail tang'. Good to know - you've definitely answered the question. It looks very solid and dependable. Sorry you had to destroy the handle to find out - maybe you can get a custom one made that will be even better? You could definitely do a paracord wrap in the meantime. I wish knife makers would just be more open about the tang and what it consists of under the handle so we don't have to "search" to find out! Thanks Bro!
This is the most Hank Hill thing I've ever seen. Like when he used WD40 to open a stuck can of WD40
Bwa-ha-ha!🤣😂🤣 "That tang opened up there!"
👌🏻
A lot of potential here. Thank you for making the sacrifice. ;)
Yes indeed. You’re Welcome!
I try to support as many fellow knife guys as I can. Good luck and keep it up
Thanks Frank!
I know it a old video. Thanks for getting me learned. Was wondering what size those holes in the tang were? I’m wanting to do custom scales and was wondering if I’d be able to use chainring bolts to secure them
One just has to appreciate this video.
Much appreciated!!
For the greater good right!? Thanks for the look through. Some wood scales or micarta would be sweet. Love me some 3V.
Yes indeed greater good for all! Was checking out some G10 online. Thanks for watching!
You have a 3v addiction sir....
Benchmade should slap some desert ironwood scales on that thing with some different colored liner options!
Yeah that would look great!
I was looking for a scale removing vid for a puuko! Thank you for the sacrifice. I want to do something with a paracord handle!
You’re Welcome! I had a friend put some G-10 on mine. Have fun!
Still waiting to see an update on the custom scales. As far as we know, Zach has a scale-less puukko sitting in a drawer waisting away.
Yes, thank you for that! Very intersting with the holes, sure this handle will never detach accidentally.
Now you are able to assemble a handle of your choice. And I am curious how the original will behave over the time (esp. cold in winter).
You’re welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes cold weather will be the next test.
Very cool, did it dull the blade on the other knife doing that?
No dulling on the other Puukko!
That was exactly what I wanted to know. Now I'm going to order one.
Perfect T Wayne! Appreciate your feedback and support!
how do you like it ? trying to decide between this and Mora Garberg.
I am sure Benchmade would have sent you some photos of the blank !
Time to put a real set of scales on it know. Just a heads up I would of used a vise.
Excited to get started on the scales! Thank you for the feedback!
Missed opportunity to feather stick a knife. But seriously my main question with this knife was whether is was full tang. Could not find the answer anywhere until this video. Thank you.
Glad to help answer the big question Schmidty!! Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Cool video, I seen that knife on DBK but they didn't cut it open, I like to put custom handles on Mora's etc so very helpful. All the best with the channel dude, congrats on reaching 500 subscribers, 501 now 😜👍
Right on yeah I am glad I took the rubber off to see what was inside. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Appreciate all the support!
I would not do it for all the tea and china. But I always wondered. Now you did it, and thank you.
you know those cold steel peace makers, i had the peace maker mark 2 and i stupidly threw it at a log and it bounced off it then smacked into a big rock and the handle was ruined completely tore open and i did not want to just wrap a load of tape around the thing. the handle was made of a very grippy and soft rubber much like the handle materiel on that puukko, i thought the knife was done for and that i would need to send it back to CS but then i saw that the tang actually had 3 perfectly spaced and lined up holes in it that would work great for pins and my own custom handle.
just found your channel btw great videos i sub'd.
Oh wow sounds like a crazy ride your C.S. took! Love that you made custom handles for it! Appreciate your support and feedback! Thanks
Thanks for the info. I was wondering if it was fulltang. Thanks again
You’re Welcome!
Awesome! Full tang!👍🏼
Oh yeah!
Big thumbs up for picking up that plastic / rubber handle. Interesting to see what’s under the handle.
Wow! You can do a lot of things with it in survival situation! For example great spear!
Dude it hurts so much seeing you killing that godlike handle. Ofcourse you can customize it but still XD I love the santropene handle
It hurt cutting them off! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much ! Very reassuring to see how well the plastic is secured to the handle.
You are welcome an$ thank you for your feedback and support! It was fun testing!
Send it to The Topicala, so he can make a really awesome handle for it. It would be well worth it ⚔️
Have not heard about Topicala. Have to look him up. Thanks for the info!
@@zachstuff He's on RUclips. He does exceptional work. His specialty is custom handles on Puukko. ⚔️
Are the handles done? I have been anticipating the new scales for 2 years! Lol
Alumite and ebony handle with stainless steel spacers and a g10 liner that would be slick
That would look awesome! Thanks for the idea!
I was curious, thanks. To much holes in the tang, has a very weak point with those two close small holes close to the blade. Can't abuse it will cruck like a cookie it's always useful to cut meats
My personal choice for scales would be dymondwood, the classic look of wood with the performance of modern materials. I've got a full tang hatchet with dymondwood scales and it really holds up well to the bumps and scrapes of being used.
Oh that sounds nice! I will have to go check out the stock on those. Thanks!
I love the Benchmade Puukko.3v is a great steel and super tough.What kind of handle did you put on it.
Thanks Jeremy! It has a Jade/Blue G-10 handle on it now.
@@zachstuff awesome idea I think that would look good.
I think I just saw TWO Puukkos get messed up. 😨 Thanks for this video. I was wondering too.
You’re Welcome! Glad you liked it! No knives were severely damaged in the making of this video!
@@zachstuff lol
I saw some hard use tests before with Benchmade D2 knives and I was really impressed and 3V is even tougher. Benchmade = nice stuff.
Yes indeed! The 3V is holding its edge nicely!
Did you put new scales on this blade? Thanks
My hart breaks, when you start cutting that handle!
I know it was rough to get started on this one!
Did not expect you to cut the handles off. Do you think that it’s worth to buy it as a bushcraft knife?
Yes I have started using it in a video doing some entry level outdoor use. I think it will be a great knife for this and the steel holds its edge really well and is very strong. Used oak to pound on it for about 150-200 hits. No marks or anything. Check my other videos to see the outdoor usage.
They straight up say it's full tang lmao.
Nice, you bushcrafted your bushcraft knive, dawg.
😂😂😂Thank you!
Yeah youve definitely voided the warranty on that knife!! LOL! But a great video, thats one solid usable knife, great steel and a solid long lasting hadle, Top notch Zach Cheerz from NZ.
Thanks Steve! Appreciate your feedback and support! Glad to hear you liked the video and the knife is a winner!
Hallo Zach,
in my opinion this knife looks nice without the handle 😊. Good job.
Best regards & happy Easter holidays
Joe
I love BM folders but honestly they’re fixed blades haven’t caught my eye until this one; can’t wait to see what you replace the handle with.
This one is a good one! Thanks for watching and I am excited to build some handles.
I'm still not convinced, do a few more
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
No kidding right??!!
😂😂😂😂😂👍
I would def take it apart and put a custom handle on it.
Any idea on when you'll have the scales done for this?
Should be October. Working with Big Brown Bear to get them finished.
@@zachstuff Is this still in the works? I think it would be an awesome idea to skeletonize the scales if it's not too late.
Thanks buddy. Definitely gave me some ideas for micarta handles.
Right on would love to see what you choose!
I am thinking a wood handle like Cherry or oak. Give it a nice finish it would be fantastic. You could go with a polymer that is clear if you wanted to display it. If you wanted to use it though a good wood handle. Great video
Oooh a clear polymer or natural G10 in the jade green would be sweet looking!! Good idea! Thanks for watching!
Hey I just whanted to say that I watched this last night and had a dream about my main knife “benchmade north fork” completely dull and destroyed anyways great video
I have one and i really like the knife itself. The leather sheath is kind of junk and will loosen up so much the knife will just fall out. I had to make a loop of shock cord on the belt loop to pull over the handle to keep it in place. It's not a deal breaker but i kind of expect more from benchmade.
Most of Benchmades sheath's suck
@@gillm12 True. I think they're more focused on their folding knives since that's kind of their main thing.
Nice! Looking forward to seeing the handle you come up with for this knife!
Thanks CW!
Thank you for showing the tang. Now we get to see the actual tang and don't need to solely rely on the information the company tells us. I'm sure many people are equally curious but not so willing to cut the handle to expose the tang.
Using one Puukko to open up another one. Somehow it just doesn't seem right....almost "cannibalistic".
Figured it to only be the most respectful way to mutilate the handle!
Or steel on steel
Wanna see it with a new handle
Did you ever get a custom a handle for this knife?
Yes have it bring mounted now. Will be shaping it and posting some video soon!
Zach’s Stuff who made it for you? Can you share the link so I can order one?
@@zachstuff I am not seeing a video for this. Any chance you could link me to it?
Just send it in for warranty, I"m sure benchmade won't mind.
True, they are very kind when it comes to their warranty! I would probably need a convincing story with a good plot twist!
Seriously committed to test that knife. 🤓
Trying good stuff for sure!
I wanted this knife until I seen all the large holes in the tang and the 2 small ones just before the blade now I'm not so sure.
I USE A STRONG MAGNET TO CHECC THE TANG... TO FIND OUT HOW FAR IT EXTENDS
Time to test that warranty
Wonder what they would say..... :)
Awesome looking forward to seeing the final result.
Thank you very much!
Came from LAMNIA! THANKS!
Still the best knife ever
I just watched a man destroy not one but two knives I can't afford
Both knives were saved and are in fabulous condition!
Looks like a perfect product that would be great to stay as is . Cool video . Great price as well .
It is a great knife which is probably best as is!!! Thanks for watching and the feedback! I was very happy with the price point and quality also.
You can do a paracord handle.
The sound of one blade hitting metal lol. Hope you do some custom and show us the results
Thanks Eddie! After the new year I will get them built and on the channel!
Thanks for this Zach!
That's something I often do too, on this kind of gripped knife.
This will make for a great project.
I have a pretty big pile of micarta here too, and would be happy to donate some to you. Just hit me up in an email.
Oh wow thanks! Yeah beginner here for sure on handle making. I will shoot you an email. Very kind 👍🏻
Will the rubber handle destroy overtime easily? Doesn’t looks like its going to survive a lifetime
It’s molded on very tight and through the tang of the blade. Took a good effort to cut off.
@@zachstuff thnx!
This was a expensive episode noice
I really enjoyed that
Right on! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
The full tang has been compromised by two holes close to the blade. Strength test ?
Strength as in bending/torture style tests??
@@zachstuff Plus will it stand being bit on the back side, would it break at one of three weak points. Why theses hole in first place if covered by rubber ? Handy yes for paracord handles.
Gotcha. Yeah I will see about doing that but have to make my handles first. Probably get another one for torture testing.
@@zachstuff Could well be the compromise we are not expecting in what looks and fees a great knife.
Is it possible for moisture to get stuck in these handles?
It is sealed very tightly on the blade. But nothing is ever 100%.
Reminds me of a mora but 100 times better, awesome!
Much better!
Yep...there it is!
Boom! Fun video!!
Nice video. This knife is not really full tang, but skelleton full tang
I am no expert and I may be wrong, but that might have voided the warranty :)
Haha! Uh oh! 😂
Did you send it back to Benchmade to fix the missing handle?
Right??!!
I'd like to see what you're going to do with the blank.
Thanks I am looking forward to it!
Micarta.....my personal favorite 😁
Right on!!!
You should definitely do a Kurt mod on it. Green micarta handles
Want to see that new handle.
Getting material sent to me. Then it’s time to do some work!
Put some classy wooden scales on that one.
Oh yeah like maybe a cherry wood?
Did you ever dress the puukko up with a new handle?
Getting the scales on with BBB now!
you could make a wicked handle for it now
Totally have that in the works. Hard to order the scale material I am looking for. So going to work with a local knife builder on his supply chain.
How many Puukkos can you destroy with yours?
Definitely on my giant list of wanted knives to go with my already way to big collection it’s an addiction ☹️
Yes Barry you will enjoy this Puukko once you get it! Crazy addictions!
Nice solid slab of 3V, awesome. I'd put some nice wood scales on it now, but thats just me..maybe you lice micarta or g10 better. An expensive test, and I thank you..now we know for sure!
You’re Welcome! Some micarta might look nice too! Thanks for watching!
@@zachstuff Yes it would. Whatever you choose, make sure you show is the finished mod! To bad they didn't drill a small hole in between and after the 2nd and 3rd big hole like they did after the 1st ..would have been perfect for pins, although I guess you could drill them if you decide to go that route.
I was just looking it over and thinking about pins!
@@zachstuff I think pins add a touch of class as well as stability, no matter what material you go with.. Some nice mosaic pins would really look nice.
That’s a great call! Thank you!
I forsee some para-cord on that handle in the future I’m glad you did that to your knife not mine😂
How you gonna handle that guy?
Not sure what to drop on for handles. Didn’t know if you wanted a peek now that it’s all exposed?!
Did you ever rescale that puukko?
Big Brown Bear is doing the re-scale right now!
Thanks for doing that.
You’re Welcome!
Post a video of the knife with a new custom handle. That would be cool
Working on that project now!
