@varusteleka-fi Terava Skrama , pretty much ready for anything winter can throw at it .

I’ve made more! Meet Ciatra (Seadweller), Dheist (Rust), and Terava (Teal)!

A simple but effective little mod for anyone using a @varusteleka-fi Terava Jaakaripuukko as a bushcraft /survival knife,  creating a useful all in one emergency survival package .

A standard sized firesteel toggle fits well in the over large lanyard hole on these knives .

If you add a small 550 firecord tinder lanyard the cord sits on the back of the toggle and helps to create a nice fit inside the lanyard hole .

I finish mine with a ITW Nexus toggle end which allows for easy removal for striking on the Jaakari’s spine and have added gitd powder to the plastic clip for low light use .

A great tool for working outdoors, bushcraft or as a dedicated survival knife for TEOTWAWKI type scenarios  the ‘Scrama’ by Terava  via @varusteleka-fi is a no nonsense relatively cheap but very reliable cutting tool in 80crv2  high carbon steel made in Finland .

Camp dinner prep , Scandi’s aren't generally thought to be the best slicers when it comes to food prep but the Jaakari puukko from Terava via @varusteleka-fi did well enough with veg .

 @varusteleka-fi Terava Jaakari Puukko from Finland , which I got as a companion to my Skrama bushknife .

I chose the 80CRV2 high carbon steel one over the stainless  version like my Skrama and opted for the unsheathed version as will make my own for it . 

You will notice that the knifes spine has been slightly ground on either side this helps to create great sparks from a fire-steel and is also done as the outer sides of the steel are softer  52 HRC than the central core which is 59 HRC so is technically differential heat treated

The Scandi ground knife shipped shaving sharp and came with a basic molded plastic blade guard .  This was perhaps designed so it could be inserted into a traditional style leather sheath , its unfortunate that it doesn’t lock up onto the knife like with the molded plastic skrama sheaths  but look forward to making my own and using this in the coming months . 

Snow test .

The large rubberized handle on the Finish Puukko proved excellent when using thick snow gloves and the scandi grind made short work of the tasks it was asked to perform  .

In the snow when wearing Gore -Tex over trousers I prefer to keep my sheath knife sheathed in my jacket front pocket as this certainly makes it easier / safer to re sheath with cold or gloved hands and lessens the chance of accidentally cutting expensive Gore -tex or myself .
