Yet another winner from Finland, lol. I've had several leukus and puukkos,(Ahti, Kellam, Wood Jewel, Martiini) and the only issue I've had is the hilts tend to be a bit short for my bear paws. Other than that, they've all been beautiful, well made tools. Throw in the Moras I've used, and you get the impression that the Scandinavian countries love good knives...
I have one and love it. Sheath is excellent. Quality is great..One of my favorites and didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to buy it....thanks Bryan.
Definitely was worth me buying, I got the 140 with a brown sheath, I love mine,I put it through the paces an is still sharp,I've even some chopping with mine an batoning.
Nice review man! I've got one myself and it's by far my favorite knife. Easy to maintain, sharpen and handles all tasks I've tried. I've even chopped down a few smaller trees with it.
Always enjoy your reviews. You played a big part in me choosing the Schrade SCHF 57 and SCHF 36. I love those. I have a Mora Companion but really like the sheath option with this one. Thanks for the work you do on these videos.
I got my new sheath in the mail a couple weeks ago. I had to buy one at a time. My knife in the box with out the plastic sheath. It came with a piece of card board. Oh well. I didn't mind. The knife was what I was wanting. I got the sheath and it was worth the wait for the sheath. I use mine as my a EDC gear. Now I want to get the big brother and the Skrama blade next. You have a great gear now I want to get my wife a blade for her to use and protect her self. Kudos to you guys.
Great to the point and thorough review Bryan... and I enjoy your ramblings. Bought this knife myself in the 110mm variant and agree with everything you mentioned. It's a mini beast and the sheath is incredible. If you just consider the price of the knife itself at only around 30 bucks, it just might be one of the best bang for the buck bush craft blades available right now although I think the Mora Robust is also hard to beat for the price as well. Great no nonsense review of this Puukko!!!
I have always looked at these to buy however I am a fan of longer blade knives 🔪 but you have sold me on getting one now 👍🏻🇦🇺 cheers Brother from across the pond ;)
Great knife. I bought one about 6 months ago. Took a long time to arrive but the outdoor/miltyp place had them on back order. Now Gerber is marketing an almost exact copy for $80. The hole in the tang is also good for holding a bow drill fire starting pin.
Awesome! I got the stainless Garberg because I live on the coast. I keep hearing such good stuff about this knife though.... I might grab up the longer one for batoning. Great review! Thanks😀😀
Amazing review love the way you test en just give a quick accurate review! Just bought the knife with the leather sheath unbelievable quality for a low price! Thanks! You can bij 4 of these with sheath and still be under the price of 1 Fallkniven 😂 Unbelievable. I am a happy man 😎👍🏼
I always enjoy watching you videos. Really enjoy seeing you throw the knives at the end of the video to check the balance. You are good at that. If I tried to do that, the knife would probably not impact the way yours does and come back and stab me. Thanks for sharing. ATB.
I own the 110 and 140. Im a bigger than of the 140 because it's a bit longer, but the 110 is a great Bushcraft / Camp knife. The fins are putting out a great knife. They also have the Skrama for chopping. Good vid chief
I appreciate the way you address the anti-baton comments. I figure it is your knife, you bought it and you have to sharpen it so do what you want with it.
Thanks a lot knife friend Brian! For honoring our finnish knife terävä jääkäri puukko! And we got lot more great knives beeing an awesome knife country! And survival one as well! Kind regards/your finnish knife friend 🙋🤗👌⚔️
This is a great little knife especially with the sheath. It’s not some fancy show off piece, just a good and strong worker you can depend on. Recommended. I am going to get one for my daughter when we start to go hiking for woodcraft. We are Finnish/American so it’s nice to have as a heritage blade, along with my skrama.
Everything I've bought from Varusteleka.com has been great quality gear. My favorite backpack is the Savotta Jakaari S, a 19 liter pack that will accommodate everything I need for an overnighter and occasionally for two nights. I own several Mora's but after watching this review I will invest into one of those Terava Puuko's and the leather sheath...love the looks of that dangler set up. The shipping from Suomo, Finland is via DHL and for ten bucks you cannot go wrong. It's a quick service, too. Thank you for a great review, Bryan!
I love this knife! I just picked one up off of eBay (with factory original leather sheath), plus a very nice kydex sheath from a US maker. I found a great protector called BoeShield, made by Boeing. You rub it on and let it set for a couple of hours, then wipe it off. It protects from corrosion for months at a time per application. Thanks for the great review!
Yes! This is the one for trust. I've been using this for more than one year now. While this year I tested several other knives but to be honest with you, this Terava Jaakaripuukko is still my number one knife so I take this to my camping as the primary knife. I don't need to worry about the cost of this knife so I abuse it a lot at the camping. But every time I abuse him it always prove me his high performance. It was so pleasing to me to have this knife that I made five review videos. This knife is so rare in Japan.
I've owned the Terava Jaakaripuukko 110 long enough to deem it a keeper in my stable of knives. I also own the Skarma. This combo is all I need in my AO. They were made for hard use for sure.
The best bang for you buck in the knife world . Now you need the Skrama what a beast a real chopper . Yeah you do need to sharpen it now and then but these 2 blades are real work horses as they say, they are now after 45 years my go to blades and I am waiting for the elk horn to re handle them both with stabilized elk can't wait . Happy Trails
Wow! Pretty darn good Knife for US$32.00 + shipping. Thank you for exposing us to this tool, I never heard of this knife or company until I saw your video. I also want to thank your Subscribers who recommended it to you.
Survival On Purpose What I meant, was that Mora is gonna have a hard time selling Garbergs now with this knife as a competing option. Especially at that price!
I like it Bryan :) Seems the Garberg has to wait. Just ordered one of those and a Mini-Skrama. ( Finally. Has been on my list for ages. Both have. ) My holiday just started so I guess I have a kydex project coming :) I have heard lots about the Jääkäripuukko. People have liked it. And I can clearly see why :) Performs well with both ferro rods and flint. Highly affordable. And I love knives that make great feathers! I am heading to Lapland in some two weeks and hoping to finish the sheaths by then. Perfect opportunity to test new stuff :) And see how they compare to my favorite outdoor blades. Looking forward to the follow up and the comparison with Garberg :) Awesome review as always! Big thumbs up! Have a great week Bryan :)
Firstly, I don't really care for a lot of knives that you review. However. You do give each one the same respect in your testing. With that said.... I really do like the look and performance of this one.....very cool knife!
I've been in the game a long time, and this knife as well as the Joker Bushcraft Knife BS9 Campero CO112 are my 2 favorite bang-for-the-buck knives. The Fins and the Spaniards are doing it right, and greed-free!
I have the 140mm carbon steel version which is my favorite bushcraft/belt knife. The handle is exceptionally gripy and comfortable, overall a very capable work knife!
If you look at their webpage where it says "out of stock" there will be a line that says "expected on day xxx" It's a little unfamiliar for us but that day starts at Jan 1...Jan 6 would be "day 6"" etc. If you use that date you will be able to order even before the email alerts you that they're back in stock. That's how I got mine and that "restock on" date has always been accurate whenever I've checked it. Great knives and super affordable shipping. Really nice company to do buisness with. Thanks, Bryan- atb!!
Matthew Shannon you don't count days of the year? What about week numbers? It's week 22 day 153 second quarter. Quarters of year? I got a different work schedule for even and odd numbered weeks.
I have this knife! The spine is super sharp, The cutting edge wasn't very sharp out of the box but a few minutes on the whetstone and she's hair shaving sharp. Great review Bryan ATB and enjoy your weekend
Been making my rounds on RUclips, lotta political stuff lately but got a hankerin for some S.O.P and ran across a good one, the vt-110. Have bought more than one knife after checking out your reviews and just so happens the vt-110 is what I'm wearing tonight. Good to see you're still on the job. Appreciate you Brian!
Brian, I am always grateful for your input. Try also the Terävä Skrama!! Especially if the sheath is on stock..... Since I have been using the longer version (140 mm) in stainless steel, I totally agree, it is a quality knife - shame they don’t print their name on every knife :-). Because you lead me to their website, I saw the big chopper Terävä Skrama is on sale AND (that is unusual) the black leathersheath I was able to order also with one payment, one shipping fee!!!! Thank for that timely video. Unfortunately my phone didn’t work with the site therefore I used my MacBook, but without going through your linksystem, sorry for that.
Great review on the Terava Puukko. I like this knife and that sheath is a winner, too! As Luke at TOGR says that Varusteleka has been known to be pronounced, "Where's the liquor?" I hope that Amazon will be able to sell this knife in the near future. It sure does resemble the Mora Garberg...hmmmm.
nice, informative review - thx for sharing. If you want to know, what the tang looks like, you don't need to tear it apart, just take a look at their blade blanks - I call it a full tang, just slightly narrower than the handle to allow for overmolding (you don't want to touch steel at -40°C/°F).
Had one for awhile. The 110. Excellent knife. Glad you found the same. Excellent to see you light char cloth with the blade and a flint. I shall try that. Mine wasn't finished very well but I bought it to work. Never bought the sheath. I made one. Are you intending to try their skrama next? I keep looking at it. Love the channel. All the best.
This knife has near same dimensions as the "Helle" brand that comes from Norway. (Common shape in Scandinavia) Many "Helle" knifes have a laminated SS blade. I have a Harding model by Helle. I have had it for almost 30 years. Stays razor sharp and has harvest many deer. I have battoned with it many times. This knife will probably suprise you. Great vid.
Hey Bryan and viewers did you know that there are now 2 variations on a mini version of this knife available? No 1 is a basic all steel (skeletonised handle) the available sheath is a simple slip type leather sheath with 2 holes in a little hump at the mouth so it can be hung point down around the neck No 2 is same size but has the full overmould handle of the normal knife tbe sheath for this one is a scaled down copy of the original that's the mini puuko there is also a mini skrama same dimensions etc slightly different blade shape, I have both variants and think highly of them 👍 Bill
Great knives. I have the mini Skrama, I have a paracord handle on it for now but I'm going to make a micarta handle soon. When I get the micarta slabs on, I'm going to make it my EDC, retiring my Busse Active Duty.
I think I might like this better than a Garberg. The interesting differential heat treatment sounds really neat, and I love that sheath. Kind of reminds me if my 35 year old Maartinni puukko. It's about that same size, so maybe I should get the 140. The Finns made quite good use of their puukkos in the Winter War by the way. I love the Finns.
This 110 is a BEAST!!! I just got mine in the mail WOW such incredible quality for a budget price. They BLOW away top end knives and low end of course..
Whenever I see this knife I think of the Tops BOB. It has the same shape and is ground the same (Scandi with secondary bevel). It is a hair thinner though. I like that sheath. Thanks for showing it Bryan. The BOB would be another good knife to compare it to, along with the Garberg. Just a thought.
Nice review. I purchased my Puukko a few months ago. It's one of the best knife purchases I've made regardless of cost. At the price point, the quality, form , fit and function is hard to beat. Tough steel that stays sharp and the sheath puts a lot of higher prices blade sheaths to shame.
@@zoolkhan you heathens lay off lol. The Imperial system, especially length measurements, evolved from real-world examples, mostly related to the human body. I know from experience that cm/mm can get easier to "guesstimate" or visualize with repeated use, but a half-inch/inch/foot/yard all have rough analogs on the average human body.
Semi full tang or protruding stick tang is what is used to describe a knife where the tang is running all the way to the end of the handle and in some cases stick out (protruding stick tang), but the handle is overmould. We call it a full tang if you can see the steel on the side of the handle and it's handle slabs on the metal. Most Scandinavian knives have overmould handles because it gets really cold. The exception is Enzo (also Finish) who have full tang models also. It's just another way of calling things over here in the old world that might be confusing sometimes but I do recommend checking out Enzo. It's the brand I often take out when I need a small camp knife. You can see the tang of the knife on the website but it's broad. Not some flimsy rat tail. As you mentioned you can also feel it. The whole knife feels rugged. For the money one of the best smaller camp knives out there.
I’m a big fan of the puuko design shape From what I’ve seen and heard it’s a great knife I’ve kinda been digging on the super steels (crucible processed metals)lately though
Might have been forgotten... but i find it worth to mention that "varusteleka" is not a manufacturer, they are selling Army surplus stuff and sure enough this is from the finnish army. This is a finnish army jaeger knife. (jääkäri - Jäger(german) Jaeger(english?) in ww2 finnish soldiers all had their personal "puukko" (pronounce lik "puh-k koh" (not pjuke-o !) when the war came, and they used them sucscessfully in the forrest and on the invaders. nowadays, the finnisch army provides the knifes - if it would be anything less worthy than the (usually high end) individual knifes, it would just be thrown into the bin. So they decided to make it good pragmatic as they are in finland.
Good point on the Varusteleka part. A slight correction on the Finnish army part though. This knife is manufactured for Varusteleka by Laurin Metalli. These are brand new knives made to serve you well for a long time. Also the army does not provide a knife for the average conscript. We will bring our own knives to the service with us.
Great😠 I've been wanting one for a loooong time but gave up and kinda forgot about them cause they were always out of stock. Then Chris at PM101 did I his review that was it I totally gave up.....So this fathers day I was gonna try again and now YOU go and bring attention back to it😕 gee thanks Brian LOL Now they will be out of stock tell 2020......Jokes aside my stinking bank card wouldn't work when I finally seen them in and wah wah wahhhhhhhh 😒 😉 They are pretty cool but I might just get the Mora Carbon and let go of my Stainless. Both are cool knives and very different ....let folks know that in your comparison video, the grinds are very different IMO. Now that the Mora Carbon is here I think your comparison video would be cool.
Yet another winner from Finland, lol.
I've had several leukus and puukkos,(Ahti, Kellam, Wood Jewel, Martiini) and the only issue I've had is the hilts tend to be a bit short for my bear paws.
Other than that, they've all been beautiful, well made tools.
Throw in the Moras I've used, and you get the impression that the Scandinavian countries love good knives...
I have one and love it. Sheath is excellent. Quality is great..One of my favorites and didn’t have to take out a second mortgage to buy it....thanks Bryan.
It seems good so far
Have 140 and 110. 100% garberg killer
Definitely was worth me buying, I got the 140 with a brown sheath, I love mine,I put it through the paces an is still sharp,I've even some chopping with mine an batoning.
@@TheVilkas666 ,yes they are,good strong spine for batoning an ferro rod striking,an stout tip for stabbing an skinning,I love mine
Great knife. Thanks for the review. Got mine in 2 weeks for $8 shipping. Like it better than the Garburg.
Thank's Bryan, one of many reasons that i do love knives, is to see the passion through your words and presentation. Keep going and take care!
Ty for the video Brian, love that knife,I'm really digging that sheath
Nice review man! I've got one myself and it's by far my favorite knife. Easy to maintain, sharpen and handles all tasks I've tried. I've even chopped down a few smaller trees with it.
I am really impressed with your knife throwing skills. Well done!
Thanks Brian... good review. I REALLY like that knife! Heading off to order one now. (and a Skrama 240 too)
Thank you for this great review! Appreciated!
I'll have mine Tuesday nut I ordered the 140 along with a brown sheath an a stone as well,so excited an can't wait. Great video again Brian ty
Thanks so much for reviewing the Jaakaripuukko this knife deserves much more attention from RUclips channels
It impressed me
Always great and informative video's , thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Always enjoy your reviews. You played a big part in me choosing the Schrade SCHF 57 and SCHF 36. I love those. I have a Mora Companion but really like the sheath option with this one. Thanks for the work you do on these videos.
Thanks for watching
I have one of these and love it also bought the Skrama chopper from them and love it too
I got my new sheath in the mail a couple weeks ago. I had to buy one at a time. My knife in the box with out the plastic sheath. It came with a piece of card board. Oh well. I didn't mind. The knife was what I was wanting. I got the sheath and it was worth the wait for the sheath. I use mine as my a EDC gear. Now I want to get the big brother and the Skrama blade next.

Love the videos! Great hands on reviews.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Great knife, good video!

I agree
Great Review and Good to see You Enjoying Yourself !

Thanks for watching.
Looks like a great knife and I love that sheath.

I may have to get the 140 version. Looks like a great utility camp/outdoors knife. Thanks Mr. Bryan.
I think it is
Great knife. I bought one about 6 months ago. Took a long time to arrive but the outdoor/miltyp place had them on back order. Now Gerber is marketing an almost exact copy for $80. The hole in the tang is also good for holding a bow drill fire starting pin.

Wow, looks like the Mora Garberg carbon sure had a short run. Thanks for sharing Brian!
Not at all, just responding to requests. I think both are great knives
Survival On Purpose What I meant, was that Mora is gonna have a hard time selling Garbergs now with this knife as a competing option. Especially at that price!
I like it Bryan :) Seems the Garberg has to wait. Just ordered one of those and a Mini-Skrama. ( Finally. Has been on my list for ages.

Yes it is
Man, I've been wanting one for a while
A solid blade
Picked up the 110 and slapped it in a leather case made for a blah Boker Plus BC and it fits like a glove. Great Knife....Mora Killer indeed!
Cool
I'm really liking the looks of that knife. And it's affordable.
Yep
I've been in the game a long time, and this knife as well as the Joker Bushcraft Knife BS9 Campero CO112 are my 2 favorite bang-for-the-buck knives. The Fins and the Spaniards are doing it right, and greed-free!
One of my favorites. Hopefully they sent you a Skrama and at least one of the of the Mini Skrama or Mini Puukkos.
I did get a Skarma, no minis. Maybe next time. The balance test on the Skarma was FUN
I have the 140mm carbon steel version which is my favorite bushcraft/belt knife. The handle is exceptionally gripy and comfortable, overall a very capable work knife!
I agree
If you look at their webpage where it says "out of stock" there will be a line that says "expected on day xxx" It's a little unfamiliar for us but that day starts at Jan 1...Jan 6 would be "day 6"" etc.

Great knives. I have the mini Skrama, I have a paracord handle on it for now but I'm going to make a micarta handle soon. When I get the micarta slabs on, I'm going to make it my EDC, retiring my Busse Active Duty.
I like that one too
It's also available as the 85 model wich has a 8,5 cm blade.
The Martiini Condor Timberjack is a good blade as well. I agree with your view on batoning, there a middle ground between the two extremes.
I have heard that
Thats a finn jager knife ☺️☺️🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 greatings from Finland
I think I might like this better than a Garberg. The interesting differential heat treatment sounds really neat, and I love that sheath. Kind of reminds me if my 35 year old Maartinni puukko. It's about that same size, so maybe I should get the 140. The Finns made quite good use of their puukkos in the Winter War by the way. I love the Finns.
Both are great knives in my opinion
They sure did and the Bolsheviks where Destroyed by those Brave Finns !
I use my 140 for everything and it's bulletproof! I would trust and carry this knife in combat!
Yes it is
This 110 is a BEAST!!! I just got mine in the mail WOW such incredible quality for a budget price. They BLOW away top end knives and low end of course..
It is a beast
@@SurvivalOnPurpose how do you feel after all this time?? I just made a kydex sheath😁🤙🔪
Sometimes those knives are hard to get, on back order. They are great knives!
So I hear
They are worth the wait, I tried and tried for about 3 months before I finally got mine ordered.
Butch Hill I had a tough time ordering too. I was on a mailing list when they became available
Great view as always..
Did you ever do the comparison with the mora garberg?
Whenever I see this knife I think of the Tops BOB. It has the same shape and is ground the same (Scandi with secondary bevel). It is a hair thinner though. I like that sheath. Thanks for showing it Bryan. The BOB would be another good knife to compare it to, along with the Garberg. Just a thought.
Hmmm. You think so?
I have both and they are very similar blade wise (shape). The terava has a slightly higher grind and goes through wood a tad better.
That knife has been on my radar. ~~Susan
It is a good one Susan
You should put more of your music in your videos. Sounds good 🎸🔊
Sweet Knife.
Indeed.
Love that knife I have thr 110 in carbon steel and then bought the 140 in stainless. Both great and I have a hard time deciding which one to use.
Choices choices
I'd forgotten you'd reviewed this knife. I like it better than the Garberg. Better handle and better sheath.
Of all my fixed blade knives, this one is my favorite and most inexpensive. I've owned it for over a year now.
I like mine
Still your favorite? Have you tried Ka-Bar Mark 1 with kraton or Lionsteel M4 with micarta?
Nice review. I purchased my Puukko a few months ago. It's one of the best knife purchases I've made regardless of cost. At the price point, the quality, form , fit and function is hard to beat. Tough steel that stays sharp and the sheath puts a lot of higher prices blade sheaths to shame.
It is a good value
Metric system is best if you want accurate measurements, and that truly is exelent knive. Good review.
What could be more accurate than 37/64ths ? ;-)
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Metric😊
@@SurvivalOnPurpose something the rest of the planet is familiar with? .-)
@@zoolkhan you heathens lay off lol. The Imperial system, especially length measurements, evolved from real-world examples, mostly related to the human body. I know from experience that cm/mm can get easier to "guesstimate" or visualize with repeated use, but a half-inch/inch/foot/yard all have rough analogs on the average human body.
The imperial system was accurate enough to send men to the moon.
Semi full tang or protruding stick tang is what is used to describe a knife where the tang is running all the way to the end of the handle and in some cases stick out (protruding stick tang), but the handle is overmould. We call it a full tang if you can see the steel on the side of the handle and it's handle slabs on the metal. Most Scandinavian knives have overmould handles because it gets really cold. The exception is Enzo (also Finish) who have full tang models also. It's just another way of calling things over here in the old world that might be confusing sometimes but I do recommend checking out Enzo. It's the brand I often take out when I need a small camp knife.
You can see the tang of the knife on the website but it's broad. Not some flimsy rat tail. As you mentioned you can also feel it. The whole knife feels rugged. For the money one of the best smaller camp knives out there.
I agree with you. This is an excellent knife and a great value
Respect %
Thanks
Nice knife 😆
yep
Varusteleka is a cool company with good products that are hard to find. I've order several items from them and get them in a week or less.
Cool
They are now also making them in a stainless steel as well.
Yes they are
I’m a big fan of the puuko design shape
From what I’ve seen and heard it’s a great knife
I’ve kinda been digging on the super steels (crucible processed metals)lately though
hard to beat basic tough steel for working
Bryan, Did you know that you can use the pommel as a handle for the bow drill spindle?
Thx for vid! would you pick that knife brand over Mora Garberg?
If like that one, you should try it's big brother the Skrama. I just got mine last week, it's amazing.
Stay tuned ;-)
Might have been forgotten... but i find it worth to mention that "varusteleka" is not a manufacturer, they are selling Army surplus stuff and sure enough this is
from the finnish army.
This is a finnish army jaeger knife. (jääkäri - Jäger(german) Jaeger(english?)
in ww2 finnish soldiers all had their personal "puukko" (pronounce lik "puh-k koh" (not pjuke-o !) when the war came, and they used them sucscessfully in the forrest and on the invaders.
nowadays, the finnisch army provides the knifes - if it would be anything less worthy than the (usually high end) individual knifes, it would just be thrown into the bin. So they decided to make it good pragmatic as they are in finland.
Good point on the Varusteleka part.
A slight correction on the Finnish army part though.
This knife is manufactured for Varusteleka by Laurin Metalli. These are brand new knives made to serve you well for a long time.
Also the army does not provide a knife for the average conscript. We will bring our own knives to the service with us.
Great😠 I've been wanting one for a loooong time but gave up and kinda forgot about them cause they were always out of stock. Then Chris at PM101 did I his review that was it I totally gave up.....So this fathers day I was gonna try again and now YOU go and bring attention back to it😕 gee thanks Brian LOL Now they will be out of stock tell 2020......Jokes aside my stinking bank card wouldn't work when I finally seen them in and wah wah wahhhhhhhh 😒 😉
They are pretty cool but I might just get the Mora Carbon and let go of my Stainless. Both are cool knives and very different ....let folks know that in your comparison video, the grinds are very different IMO. Now that the Mora Carbon is here I think your comparison video would be cool.
