For sale is my last Tapio Syrjälä puukko, handmade in Aura, Finland. This knife features hand-forged 80CrV2 steel blade with scandi grind (insanely sharp). The rhombic ground blade is mirror polished. The tang is peened to the butt cap and epoxied into the handle. The handle is stabilized and x-cut curly birch, and the collar and butt cap are brass. The sheath is black leather with wood insert and removable dangler belt loop.
The overall length of the knife is 7.75" and the blade is 3.5". There are some scratches and stain spots on the blade, I used it one time in the garden and stropped it on bare leather after. I would say it is 95% new.

Here's evidence that his stuff is as tough as it is pretty:

Tapio's work is in the $300 range these days. I bought this for $270 from Lamnia in Sweden. My price is $125 shipped, Paypal included. This is one of the best made and highest performing puukko you're going to find at any price, so this is an outright bargain.
