Puukko
A traditional Scandinavian design — straight-backed, scandi-ground, no guard, and typically 8–12 cm. Simple, slim, and functional by design, the puukko is built to do one job extremely well rather than many jobs adequately.
General uses
- Everyday cutting tasks (rope, cordage, packaging)
- Traditional woodworking and carving
- Food preparation
- Fishing and small game processing
- A classic, minimalist companion for hiking or fieldwork
Puukko — Scandi grind
The traditional scandi grind on thin blade stock, historically with no secondary bevel at all (many modern puukkos add a very light micro-bevel to extend edge life). Typical edge angle: 20–25° inclusive (10–12.5° per side), matching the bushcraft category.
