If a man or woman is going to be taken seriously
as a Youtube knife star you’re gonna need-
well, other than hair gel, and the words tactical
survival or something about prepping or bushcraft
in the name somewhere- you’re gonna need
some choppers.
Choppers are overly large knifes that take
the place of power tools for idiots, because
hedge trimmers, saws, axes don’t give the
neighbors things to talk about.
Yeah he was chopping bushes with this large
murder blade.
I’d offer my electric hedge trimmer- but
there’s something not right about him.
And why does he always have a camera pointed
at himself.
Is he filming pornos?
I’m late to the game like nearly everything
I review here, but all the other outdoor-ish
Youtube experts seem to think the Terava Skrama
is a good knife to point a camera at and talk
about for 15 minutes, so why the fuck can’t
I?
And while we’re at it Instagrammer and cool
as shit dude Aleforme70 sent me his I’m
gonna fuck this up Jaakaripuukoo to review
to, along with a beer.
If you like knives and beer or half of those
things please check out his Instagram linked
below this video.
And if you don’t you’re a complete dick.
So while you sign up for Instagram, so people
like you more, let’s look at the dimensions
of the Skrama and the Jerkypuke-o.
Did I say that right?
Like the overall lengths and weights.
With and without the sheaths.
I know there are a lot of things to look at
here.
Blade sizes and cutting edges.
Look at it this way if you sign up for Intsagram,
think about all the creative other unethical
things Mark Zukerberg can do with your data.
Handle Size and grip area.
I for one would like to see him testify again.
Because there’s certainly not enough things
to pay attention too already.
Spine and handle thicknesses.
Like these Youtube videos.
Instead of learning a new skill engage in
some wonderfully passive entertainment.
Talnesses.
Why try and paint a picture of a knife, when
this dude here can listen to this asshole
talk about Mark Zuckerberg in a knife video.
The Skrama and the whateverPuuko which I’ll
link in the description below, so you don’t
have to spell it from the way I say it, are
available shipped from Finland from a website
called VarusTeleka.com.
This finish knives or whatever are available
in a few options, like stainless or carbon
steel, full sheath or basic scabbard, with
or without a handle covering.
My Skrama is stainless, and Aleforme70s Puuko
is carbon steel…
I think you can identify the steels by how
dark the top section of the steel is… carbon
is darker and stainless is lighter.
Ok so a closer look at the Skrama blade- the
stainless steel here is known as 4110 or X55CrMoV14-
which they claim is similar to Sandviks 12C27.
If you work in the slime and wetness often
opt for the stainless.
If you don’t care the carbon steel version
is about $10 cheaper.
The edge has a chopping section for most of
it and a slightly steeper angle grind for
something called detail work closer to the
handle.
Chopping up front feather sticking by the
handle.
The Pukko is just your standard small bigass
pukko knife, it actually comes in a 5 1/2
and 4.3 inch version.
It feels nice and weighty in the hand- translation
not as light as a Mora because if it’s kinda
thick blade stock and not quite full but bigger
than a mora tang.
The version seen here is $32 euros without
a sheath, which is about $30 euros for a dangler
sheath.
So you’re looking at about $75 before shipping
for it fully outfitted.
And I want to say fully outfitted on my Skarma
was a touch over $100 USD shipped.
The sheath and shipping is where they get
ya.
Blade finish like the luster or polish is
a little uneven, something that affects nitpicking
and not knife performance.
The Pukko is said to have a Scandinavian grind
with a small microbevel or cutting edge as
non knife people would say.
And the carbon steel used is 80CrV2.
The product description of the steel makes
it sound like a laminate steel… they say
the inner core has a different heat that than
the softer outer.
A laminate steel is just steel sandwiched
together, and since no other steel is listed
we’ll assume it’s a laminate of just 80CrV2.
The product description claims the carbon
is better than the stainless because of it’s
higher toughness and it’s easier to sharpen.
You’d choose stainless if you want corrosion
resistance and not have to Lube and clean
your blade.
Quite as frequently.
As always stainless is not rustless, just
more rust and corrosion resistant.
It’s never good practice to leave your blade
gross and wet.
Handles.
The material on both feels like a TPE, so
a hard rubber with not a ton of give.
That gives you plenty of grip in the wet,
but it’s not replaceable without cutting
off the material and building a completely
new handle around the tang.
The rubber feel of the handles is similar
to something like a Fallkniven or even that
Steel Will Roamer I review a month or two
back.
The pukko has plenty of grip area for my hands,
with a little extra room to spare.
You can almost fit too hands on the Skrama
knife so yours and a friends!
I like the feel and function of the handles
but not the idea you need someone to make
new handle scales instead of just bolting
on new ones like an esee.
You got a hole on the back for easy lanyard-ization.
Might be a good idea on the Skarma whilst
a chopping.
Sheaths.
When they say leather, they mean leather wrapped
around a plastic core.
Well made, and both have drain holes in the
bottom for moisture.
Looks like they’d retain less moisture than
a fill leather one, but give you the look
and the danglyiess of a good leather sheath.The
sheaths are kind of a necessary add on…
the puukko ships without a sheath, and the
Skrama comes with basically the plastic core
scabbard it’s leather sheath is constructed
around.
The Puukko sheath is a little more akkwaard
to close, spelled like this… because of
the snap on the top… so leave it unsnapped
for easy unsheathing and snap it when running
through the jungle.
The Skrama has a snap loop, a little easier
to snap one handed, same when running snap
it when stationary leave it unsnapped.
When unsnapped the retention is just so so
because it’s such a heavy knife.
Wellcome to hour 3 or comparispons.
First both side by side.
One is made for chopping and the other smaller
chopping.
For what it’s worth chopping is both described
as an appropriate activity on the product
descriptions… unlike other manufacturers
that build stupidly large knives and tell
you they’re just for cutting.
Wink wink!
Our knife warranty doesn’t cover the stuff
big ass knives are sort of good for.
You should probably use an axe.
Now the puuko.
Compared to a Mora Kansbol.
Both grippy handles, the Puukko is a more
comfortable handle and has a full length tang…
if you baton baton with the Jaakaripukko,
and give the Mora to a friend.
Vangedal Rover.
This who knife is $40 and change shipped.
I’d say the Jaakari is better for durability
and grip.
The rover is still a very capable outdoor
knife.
Now the Fallkniven S1.
Both similar sized knives the Puukko is a
rougher finished but probably easier to sharpen
blade.
Save some money by going with Puukko, go with
the Fallkniven to impress knife snobs who
don’t use their knives on your Instagram
account.
Now the skrama.
Here it is, you all know what it looks like
by now.
You’re a student of the bushcraft.
How about next to my Zombie Tools Vakra, still
my favorite chopper and halloween accessory.
This is heavier, and has more weight behind
the blade for chopping.
Also I just really like the feel of the Leather
wrapped handle.
And the sheath that has the leg stabilizer
mount thingy.
Now the Junglas II, big blade- a lot of fun-
it’s an esse, so you can replace the handles
and it has an unconditional life time warranty,
you’re a dumbass and break your knife- they’ll
fix it.
You’re still a dumbass though.
How about My Aranyik Cane Machete.
I have had this review mostly shot for a while
though- just waiting for them to open their
store back up.
It’s super cheap at $50 sans a sheath though,
but an $8 Cold Steel sheath works.
The only thing that sucks is the handle doesn’t
have a lot of grip- no rear quill ions or
finger grooves just smooth wood.
Now let’s wrap it up verbally- I know you
love the sound of my voice- so do I but you’re
paying those big Patreon bucks to see a sort
of lame mayhem.
Like I’m not fighting bears or hanging from
cliffs, but I do drink beers, and play with
sharp things, and say the F word and I think
thats almost the same.
These are both good knives for the money I
think.
I mean if you look at Cold Steels line of
affordable Chinese made Choppers maybe the
Skrama is a little expensive.
You can probably also get a decent Condor
for under $100 too.
You can save some money if you go with the
carbon steel varieties, and lose the sheath.
As far as JaakariPuukko goes, if you look
at a Mora full tang offering like the Garberg
well that’s probably more expensive at $80-100.
Both knives can handle whoopins, pretty well-
and if you want something finnish, but want
those full tangs because you treat your knives
like the people on Youtube do- then these
are good options.
Or just go with a few Cold Steels and a case
of Natural light and make a weekend out of
it.
