- Skrama got it‘s new wooden handle out of curly birch wood. Dyed and oiled. Only a huge leather sheath needs to be done anymore! I can tell, tang of this blade was awfully long to get hidden inside wood and fitted almost perfectly there! 😅

Looks very nice. but i think i prefer the rubber grip for its shock absorbing qualities.
Yeah. The new handle is awesome, but it is a downgrade on the original ergonomics. Rubber is awesome.
Still, this looks a lot nicer than the original.
Looks great!
Thank you so much for the company’s feedback 🙏🏻💪🏻
Now it's got style! Well done, Osmo.
Great job and very pretty that grip on that birch with those nice grains.
Greetings and thanks for sharing it!
That looks incredible. The Skrama is IMO the ultimate do all blade. It’s plain no frills utilitarian looks are part of its charm I guess. But I love it so much I find myself wishing I could class it up/trick it out just a bit. A wooden handle like the one you made would be perfect. Last year they released an anniversary edition in stainless with a curly birch handle… for $350! Ugh, I’ll prolly wind up buying it someday 🤦♂️. I’d rather just have a wooden handle on the original.
Thanks! I haven’t seen stainless version yet.
beautiful handle ,awesome job
Thanks Vlad, happy to show!
I think you gave that blade the justice it deserves! Absolutely awesome and I really think wood scales and handles are way better! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs 👍🏻🇨🇦🔪
Thanks for your kind comment! It was extremely awesome to do this work. 👍🏻
@@thetopicala of course bruv! Nothing but appreciation and love in this amazing community!
Beautiful work!
Was wondering when someone was going to improve the handle. Thank you
Hello Osmo... Yet again a beauty of a knife... Regards
i was waiting for ur part 2 nice job...
Really nice. Great to watch. Thank you.
Thank you!
Great job! Just finished one myself, but I cut the handle in 2 pieces and I milled the shape of the tang in the wood, and used epoxy to glue them together again. Worked great. Cheers
Okay great! It’s totally different to do this in a way how you described it. Cheers!
Yes it is different, but I didn’t have the tools to make a hole in the wood for the tang, so I decided to cut the wood in half, milled it, and epoxied everything together again (lot of work, took me 2 days..). I would send you a picture, but I don’t know how..
@@masterp6062 it would be very challenging to drill (a hole for tang) such a long way and using one ling drill bit. My hint to you and others is that use normal length drill bit and drill it from both ends of the wood block and finally finish the hole with mini saws (from both ends). 👍🏻
@@thetopicala what type of adhesive did you use to secure the tang to the birch handle? Epoxy?
@@porkrind225 yes, it’s epoxy.
It‘s a piece of art! I admire your work, but you have changed a knive designed for hard work into something i would rather put into a display. ….I would buy a second knive to solve this major problem 😉😀!
Great job, it's looks awesome!
Thank you!
Well done Osmo!
Thank you Garrett!
Nice job Osmo 👍❤
Thanks a lot!
Very nice end result!👍👍
Thank you!
Good job
Thanks!
nice work and a nice piece of birch osmo,well done.
Parempi ja käytännöllisempi kuin alkuperäinen? Tuskin (lausutaan Oiva Lohtanderin äänellä). Kauniimpi, kyllä! Taiteilijoitakin tarvitaan. Hienoa osaamista.
What a beautie!!!!❤
It is! Thank you!
Great job Osmo,LG Christoph
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👋🏻🇫🇮👍🏻
Awesome
Wow!👏👏👍👍
Thanks!
All the wows thanked! 😄👋🏻🇫🇮
Looks great! What dye did you use?
I'm hoping someday Varusteleka will make a Skrama 240 with a Skrama 200 type/length handle. Might have to buy the 240 blank and shorten the handle myself.
Why? That would disrupt the center of gravity.
The beauty of this knife to me Is the balance point. So that would be a no go for me...
Amazing!!! 💪😎 How long do you work in it?
Attaching wood block into Skrama tang and make it carefully is hours of work, way longer than regular puukko rat tail tang and wood block. Fitting it in the front and end without loose… you can imagine.
Ok now stop it sir. This art is getting out of hand. Beautiful!
Thank you! Dave! 😄
Been thinking about doing this to mine, but wondering if it still fits the sheath
Make it fit. Just do the same size like original and it fits into original plastic sheath.
Si cool. Do you think is it possible to do the same with a terava 110?
👍🏻
Eheh. Finally I got a 140 😆 we never know!
How'd you manage to get the tang in there? I've just started working on my Skrama, and I've found myself at a loss trying to cut an opening.
Good preparations: measures and drawings and markings and carefull drilling from both ends, using mini saw too. Finally it wasn’t that bad.
@@thetopicala would have been nice to see!
I can only tell, make drillings first from the both ends and use small hand saws…
Millä terällä sä askartelit läpi reijän tuohon?!? Minun pitää heti tilata sama terä!!!😅🤣😂
Tila ruodolle on tehty tavallisella ei mitenkään erityisen pitkällä poranterällä ja minisahanterillä. Hyvä suunnitelma ja ajan kanssa. Poraus molemmista suunnista. Varaa aikaa. 😃
Pitkällä ja ohuella terällä et pysty poraamaan pitkälle suoraan. Lähtee vaeltamaan sivuun.
@@thetopicala kiitos. Edellisen tein kahdesta palasta ja inhoan tuota puussa näkyvää saumaa.😀
@@Pave1985 Kahdesta palasta teko on kyllä fuskua ja halvan näköinenkin! 😄 Vinkki; Tasalaatuiseen / mittaiseen palikkaan piirrät ruodon linjan päälle ja päihin ja teet hintsusti ylipitkän reiän ensin. Lopuksi muotoilet ensin toisen pään ja sitten toisen. Ruodon myhkyrät hiot suoraksi. Varot vain, että kummankaan reiän päät ei leviä kun tavoittelet materiaalia pois reiän keskeltä. Ruotohan on ns tasapaksu ja suora. Muuta ei nyt tule mieleen t. Osmo
😮 …. 👍🤩
🙏🏻👋🏻🇫🇮
U2 approves
I'm not impressed (sarcasm 😊)
🤭
What did you use for glue?
I guess every knife maker uses epoxy, in my case slow Araldit.
