What's your favorite current production Scandinavian/Finnish knife?

[Arathol]

If you are looking for something nice that won't break the bank, look up the offerings from Erapuu.

Strømeng?

Strømeng?

Indeed.

No experience with the Scandinavian knives yet.. just ordered the Terävä trio (Skrama 200, Jaakaripuuko 140 and 110). Let’s see if they’re worthy.

Well done, sir. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Just to introduce another maker into this thread...from way up north in Sweden: Karesuando

This is the Galten model in "Survival" guise. Added fire steel and 90° spine portion at the rear. Whether the ZERO retention sheath will aid in survival situations is up to debate. Picked up at auction for a fraction of retail, so I won't complain too loudly.

Well done, sir. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

He got to see a couple at our recent CT blade forums gathering. I am pleased in his judgement.

I do like a hultafors. Good knives very cheap.

Semi-related, check out this trailer for a Finnish movie called Sisu...Lots of Puukko usage....

Well done, sir. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, I’ll be able to get some field time once they arrive. They’re ultra utilitarian looking, nothing pretty or fancy about them. That’s my favorite thing about them.

Brisa Trooper 115 is a really great bush knife for me. Also really like the Trapper I have in N690co , and the new Kephart as well.
My favorite Scandinavian knife company for sure. Well made knives with no BS features.

I am Scandinavian but I don’t really have any Nordic knives in my collection, except possibly for this guy. Next time I’m in Mora I’ll have to get myself one of the standard issue classics, a nr 1 or 2, those feel just like something Emil would have used to carve his figures when locked up in the woodshed for getting into mischief in Lönneberga

Edit: not sure what blade Emil is using below, is that a reverse tanto?

I was bashing my way though some horrendous logs with my 200 and a guy was like. "Just use a hatchet"

He did . It bounced off.

I like my #2 classic, myself. A #3 seems like too much blade and a #1 seems like not enough handle. It’s just a solid knife- nothing fancy and very handy. I’d be inclined to believe Emil is using a well-worn sheepsfoot.

Received the Terävä trio yesterday, super impressed with feel in hand and balanced great. Handles are amazing! Wish I found out about these sooner.

Coming very close to pulling the trigger on the Skarma 200. The fact that they offer a left handed sheath is probably going to be the last little push I need...
We also have a Mora Kansbol (car knife), Garberg, and a pair of Eldris neck knives.

My current favorites are the Peltonen Sissipuukkos, but that is mostly the new toy effect, as I have had the Jääkäripuukko for several years and it has been a favorite all that time. The Skrama 240 is my favorite of all big blades in my experience (admittedly limited) of whatever provenance.

 

[runscott]

After reading your suggestions, I checked out Ahti and ended up ordering the Korpi for whittling.

I enjoy my Kellum knives quite a bit.

I have three now, and they have all performed great, and sharpen up nicely.

Light, and a comfortable handle too boot.
