Puukko knives

The Nordic puukko tradition is alive and well. The traditional Finnish outdoor puukko is a versatile tool: it’s perfect for carving kindling for campfires, but also useful in fishing, hunting, and even for the demanding task of opening a sausage package. A basic puukko with a plastic handle works well in almost any situation, while a wilderness or bushcraft enthusiast often chooses their puukko more carefully—considering, for example, whether they prefer a full-tang structure, where the blade’s tang extends the full width of the handle instead of being a narrow spike.
