Woodsknife Big Leuku Knife 180

A leuku is a traditional larger outdoors knife used in Finland for ages, it's used for those jobs that require less finesse, chopping stuff, and carving sticks into stakes, etc. This "Big" leuku is truly worth its name, giving it excellent chopping power for heavy use!

Features

80CrV2 carbon steel blade (59 HRC), which is very good for puukko style knives because it is easy to sharpen and retains the sharpness quite well. The knife has a beautiful curly birch handle. The sheath is of the traditional Finnish style, wet-formed leather, fitting snugly over the handle. 4-6 cm (1.6" - 2.4") wide belt hanger.

The blade length is 180 mm (7.1"), width 27 mm (1.1"), and thickness 3 mm (1/8").

These types of traditional knives have been around for ages, and for a reason: they are rugged, simple and practical. They have been used as weapons almost as much as everyday tools, at least in the past. Still today they are an essential piece of kit for any outdoors enthusiast. What makes a traditional puukko and leuku special compared to modern blades is that they have no saw-edge bullshit or anything like that - you have a simple, strong, and sharp carbon steel blade with a wooden handle. This truly is all you need, if you know how to use it.
