Yep, pretty solid folder. I like that Ahti puukko you tested. I picked up one from Tops a few months ago. I really like the style as you can really do some intricate work. Take care!
A good demonstration of a variety of tasks. It is AUS-8A, so edge retention is adequate, but not great. It is not hardened, so it will bend before breaking. It will break across the thumb stud hole if forced hard (see Joe x video for destruction test). The thumb stud interferes when sharpening, so it will need to be removed for sharpening. The end point of the handle is too thin and can be easily damaged, resulting in the blade tip becoming uncovered when folded. If you want to try another great outdoors folding knife get the Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter in S35VN. If you want to try a robust folding knife get the Cold Steel 4 Max Scout. If you want to try a large outdoors folding knife get the Cold Steel Rajah 2 kukri. If you want to try a low cost versatile fixed blade knife get the Cold Steel SRK or the smaller SRK-C.
I carried this knife at work and used it in an industrial fashion for a year. It is a comfortable utilitarian design that passed the test.
My wife picked up one of these, apparently brand new, at a thrift store for $2. I knew nothing about it, but was very glad to see your nice review.
What 2 dollars? This is not it!
Thanks!
Great video bro and I love that blade 👍👍 love how easy to sharpen. My Puukko knife from Findland has been wonderful

Have you tried to sharpen it yet?? Does that thumb stud interfere with the stone?
Awesome video stay safe
Thanks 👍

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m a fixed blade knife kind of guy for most outdoor adventures but I do like to carry the Finn from time to time.
"It is not hardened, so it will bend before breaking" lol wtf are you talking about.
This knife wound up in the garbage! Could not close it!
dunce
You gotta work it in a bit. They are stiff at first. Leave it half open at night and work the action alot when you're just sitting around
you do have to break in the lock a smidge. Just playing with it for an hour or so does the trick
