The spine is angled because of the heat treatment they use. The heat treat process leaves the surface of the steel softer than the core. It's similar to a differential heat treat but the variance is throughout the entire blade. The bevel gives a sharp angle away from the softer surface. Nice review. I own all of the Terava knives and I love them!
So because the surface is softer it doesn't work so well with the ferro rod so they grind away the surface to expose the harder core? Am I understanding right? This is the kind of comment that I like, the ones where I am learning something.
Good video! I've got the 110 and it's a great knife. Not pretty at all, but nice and sturdy. I may get the Skrama 240 someday to pair with it. I'm enjoying your channel.
That music sounds just like something from a 1980s children's TV show. I think all of us that remember the 80s are too old for that😂. Thanks for stopping by Chris.
Great looking spot Kuukkeli! Enjoyed the look at the knife and the trap which are both really cool. I especially like the last part of the video with the lake/marsh in the background! Very interesting!
Thanks for watching Thomas. I really like this little spot, great place to get away from it all. Glad you liked the video (and the accent). Best wishes
Yes I heard that the shipping to the US was cheap and fast. I heard 3 or 4 days on one review (at least that's how long their knife took). Takes over a week here to get it to the other side of the country 😂. That's what you get I suppose when three quarters of the population live in and around the capital. Terava make good knives. Finland is good for knives and for getting away from too many people. Thank you very much for watching my freind and I hope you have a terrific weekend.
Looks a lovely spot and a very honest review of what are an excellent range of knives, Would love to visit Finland one day. Thanks again for sharing. All the best from Scotland. Garry
You should visit Finland mate, or Norway, Norway is nice and not far away. I also need to see more of Scotland not been for years. Thanks for watching and thank you very much for leaving such a nice comment.
Interesting looking little beast of a knife, looks nice man. The mosquitoes are terrible here also from all the darn rain! Cool video man, enjoyed that awesome scenery you have there as always!
The mosquitoes have barely started yet here it gets worse. The reindeer are moving to the fells for the summer to avoid them, I wish I could do the same.
@@WaltRevenJr I think it is very similar here, we get blackflies later in the summer but also deerflies and horse flies. I used to think they were called horse flies because they fed on horses but since I came here I think it is because some of them are the size of a horse.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft When I lived in New Jersey growing up we had horse flies bad there, things hurt when they bit too not fun lol. We also had what people called GreenHeads(live up to the name, they had green heads) because we lived near the ocean, those suckers hurt bad too when they bit ya. Interesting stuff!
There's a Swedish brand called 'Nordic Summer' that can be shipped (funny enough are not allowed to sell it inside Sweden). It makes you smell bad but who cares when in the woods. After being stung by mosquitos and sand flies in Colombia (did not bring my Nordic Summer because of customs and stuff) I found 'Iruderm' in a tube and that heals you up pretty quick after being stung but never found it outside of Colombia.
I believe I’ve seen some photos of the 85 blade without the handle and the shape is different from the more sticklike 110 and 140. It follows the curves of the handle and looks like more of an actual full tang.
I have never seen the 110 or 140 tangs but you are right about the 85. They sell them bare tang. The tangs are just handle shape. The skrama tang appears more stick like. Thanks for watching mate.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Tim I completely agree I just got the 110 and made a kydex sheath if you'd like check out my LT Wright review's I did some bottle slicing😁🤙🔪
I watched your film and I thought I would be confident in saying which knife I would like to get but the 140 looks massive compared to the Mini One and I thought you might have had both in carbon steel. I do prefer stainless myself like my Mora knife that I use everyday for work in all weathers. The bit that I liked the carbon one for was that I have seen people strike Flint on the back of the knife like you demonstrated and being able to use it as a striker so it's more multi-purpose. The Moira carbon knife rusts up really quickly compared to the carbon steel of opinal pocket knives. If the steel was just as good as the opinal knife I would definitely choose carbon one but whether to go for the one 110 or the 140 is a different question.
I actually ordered the 140 in carbon steel and they sent it to me in stainless. I am sure that if I had asked they would have replaced it ( I hear varusteleka have excellent customer service) but as I don't have many stainless knives I thought I would give it a try. I am not sure if they actually still make the stainless version. I have had sparks flying off the mini puukko before (as in my first ever video) really not sure what was going wrong there ( perhaps the flint). On the video it doesn't look like I am trying but I edited out the first 5 minutes of me trying, I actually did try. I really don't like the angle on the back of the carbon steel version for use with the ferro rod but apart from that I think Terava make excellent knives expecialy for the price. I am sure whichever one you get you will be happy with it.
I prefer stainless for my food prep knife and in wet conditions because of the low maintenance. People also seem to forget that rust dulls the edge. For my woodwork and rough work I don't mind carbon steel at all. I have not seen the stainless version on their website since a long time already.
All the world uses metric except the USA, Liberia and Myanmar. Nice different trap. I like the traps that don't use cordage like the figure 4 you mentioned also. I have the 110. 140 and Skrama but this looks like a very capable small knife to have in your coat pocket, cargo pocket, haversack or Mochila. But I have bigger hands so that smaller handle might not be for me. Also never like jimping but it doesn't look aggressive jimping to me so that might not be a big issue.
Really not aggressive jimping I am sure it wouldn't bother you at all. However if you have large hands this might not be the knife for you. Probably worth getting just to complete the set though. A lot of my generation in the UK still use imperial measurements and with my viewers in the USA they make up about a quarter of my viewers which is why I try to give measurements in both. Glad you liked the trap, I thought it would be nice to show the knife doing something many people won't have seen before. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment. All the best Tim
@@KuukkeliBushcraft True that a lot of the people in the UK that grew up with imperial still use it and you also see more good knife reviewers in the USA giving both imperial and metric. Bushcraft is international. Might as well just add the mini puukko to the collection and see if I like it. If it really doesn't fit my hand I can always sell or trade. But watched the video a second time and doesn't look like your hands are smaller and it doesn't give you hotspots. After all the Finnish puukko style is my preferred style for a small camp knife and even bring one when visiting South America. I think (but wondering) that trap would work with bamboo also. Maybe not enough contact service as bamboo is hollow. I will find out because I sure will give it a go. Just to practice, not to catch. Always wondered how both Varusteleka and Brisa (both Finnish) manage to ship to my door in Holland the next day. All the best, Steve
@@StevanOutdoor no it doesn't give me hotpots. I wonder if the exposed tang where the lanyard hole is might bother someone with very big hands. But it might not do, if I had designed the knife the handle would have been bigger, that doesn't really mean it's wrong. I think the Siberian deadfall should work with bamboo, but would be probably easier with wood. But it sounds like a fascinating experiment and I would be very interested and grateful if you would let me know how it goes. Thanks mate All the best Tim
@@KuukkeliBushcraft I sure will let you know mate and probably make a video about it if it works. Might take me a couple more months before I can go there because I'm designing bushcraft and survival courses with a well respected school there. That small blade with a larger handle would be great for sure. My preferred handle is on the Hultafors GK (and that's a 10 euro knife) or the broomstick style handle. Atb from Holland, Steve

"They make decent knives". That's an understatement !

Hi I got the 110 about 4 years ago and in all that time my Lady has had her eye on it so Wednesday I ordered the 140 so I can give the 110 to her.
