Ive been using that knife for over 6 years, going on 7. Its my bench knife in the shop doing any cutting task you can think off in the shop, around the house, even acted as a spackling knife for touchups and then I would use it around the firepit to baton and breakup small 1/4 rounds. Its a great knife. Sold my garberg bc this one is so much better.
That's a smart little knife! Really love how easy it looks to use. The ability to change grips without discomfort and too much thought, and that amazingly effective scandi grind blade just makes this super appealing! Thanks for the vid, Aaron.
Aaron's, thank you for your reviews. I have added the Tanimboca Puukko to my collection several months ago. The Tanimboca Puukko is a very capable knife blade that is very durable. The handle ergonomics is a very common neutral "broom handle" style handle. The handle will work well for medium and large hand grips. This blade works well for any blade tasks that are needed. It is one of our go-to blades and is used probably more than any other blade in our collection. I only throw my two cents in when I really like the product I also usually pair the Tanimboca Puukko with the Brush Wolf. You cannot go wrong with either or both of these blades. I like that Tops Knives are made in America and are "Top Quality". Thank you
Do you think that there are enough contours to be able to make a minimal, hopefully taco style, kydex sheath to be able to drop the whole knife in your pocket?
Owned it for yrs works great for its size sharp spine which most tops knives don’t and mostly harden just the edge and not the spine and I like a sharp spine for scraping wood fibers or striking a fire steel it also has bow divot and a non polished grippy micarta handle for a better grip even when wet some don’t like the screws used in the handle because of looks but it doesn’t bother me at all.
Definitely,I think this one the actually got one even bushcrafters will like an want,I mean the bobs knives are Kool,but too pricey,I did like the brakimo,the tambukko was decent,I think the handle was a tad too thin for me,some of their knives like the one the Shango notch is ok,I'd use my own striker or the back of my saw on my Leatherman surge,I did like the tahoma field knife
@@glbwoodsbum2567 soft spines just don’t stay crazy sharp nearly as long though I believe this tops knives spine is one of the tops models with a hardened spine at least it seems to be mine still has a sharp spine with yrs of use camping hunting screwing around in the yard etc
Almost went for one. The more I looked at the handle, the less I liked it. The two small holes close to the blade bothered me, they look useless. I would have made it with a skookum tool hole pattern, using 1/4" holes. I went with a tops bob 3.5.
That was the knife that I used as part of my EDC during Hurricane Maria and I would continue using it during any other catastrophic events. Highly recommended this puukko. Great video
Thanks for the review! I already own it, but was curious on your thoughts, nice job. I own too many Puukko and love this one almost as much as my Malinka Custom Puukko which is art. Of course all the Mora's are a screaming value but this one is a real gem, the size for me and grind are spot on. Cheers
Looks like a good knife! Those grinds are good for slicing and carving, but not the most ideal for all bushcraft tasks.Notihng beats a 3mm low scandi edge. That's why knives that are close to these specs, like the Skookum, the Bushcraft Black. This knife here, is a more versatile knife, rather than specialized, that those others I mentioned are! You like it as much as a Malanika ftom the "looks" point of view, or the performance?
Great knife. Had mine for a year now. Spine is sharp. Excellent size for carry. Sheath is very nice. Everything you should expect from a Tops knife. Sorry but a Mora is not this kind of quality. Best Puukko for $100.00.
Aaron, ya gotta buy the Enzo Elver from DLT Trading. Its a kit they have for $49 and all ya gotta do is glue and screw the corby bolts down, then sand um down. You can keep the micarta scales nice and thick for our ...large size hands 😉 Its gonna be gone Brisa told me they aint gonna make them now. It comes with their good sheath and dangler. I wish Brisa would not discontinue it but thats the knife world. Anyways, it would be a fun project to show your boys ....not much work and simple too do. The knife is awesome from one knife lover to another its a keeper.
Got my first scout Mora, with plastic handle, when i was 5. I'm 50 now. Live 30 min from the factory here in Dalarna country. Used knives and axes all my life in different environments, work and outdoor. I don't consider myself an "expert", i'm always a student. I recomend some kind of fingerguard on your outdoor knife....for safety😁 i have old Järvenpää and Martini pukkos, wonderful knives. My one knife option is my CS SRK in carbon 5, bought 32 years ago👍
Kool,now tops makes a great blade for bushcraft,an one that's not 200.00,I bought myself the jaakarri pukko 140 5 inch blade two years ago and,been a tough knife so,but then saw the skrama an got a month before goit to go camping in October last year,I liked them so much my I got a guy to make a double piggyback kydex sheath for not the larger skrama blade an bought the smaller pukko of the sheath maker,he had the knives already which also took no time to go an make the molds, basically I like these knives when I saw them on UA-cam an their toughness an thickness and easy to resharpen,got them early before everything thing went up,great bushcraft knives,also since tops hasn't made this overly price,I'd recommend it to everyone,I may get one eventually, heading blade I'm June an may see tops there at a both an pick one up,I don't think 100.00 is too bad an pricey,an nice leather sheath an 1095 carbon steel.
Imo scandi grind is a little better for carving, if it's a true scandi, but it's too obtuse with thicker steel like the 2.5-3.3mm models, only the basic has a thin enough blade to cut food nicely. Pukko grinds are more shallow with a quicker to sharpen small bevel. Scandis from mora and others that run their steel at 55-58 HRC and %12 degrees per side just rolls too easily for anything harder than carving softer woods, and if you put a secondary on the scandi, you might as well go pukko grinds for better food cutting
In the Scandinavian countries they view knives with guards as suitable for young children, who have yet to learn correct knife use. Interesting modern take on a historical classic.
Our grandfathers knives and all the way back, most didn't have gurads. Only some daggers used to have guards. I still have my grandfathers knives and none has one. I like the knife to have a small one, or a similar desing like the Mora 2000/Kansbol, which doesn't get in the way, but still it gives the feedback of tha handles limits! That's perfect for me!!
G'day Aaron, nice collab there, always good to hear from designers. Not a puukko user personally, but just about any design is still interesting to me. I particularly like the grind on this one and it does go to show what a smaller well made tool can do. Enjoyed the vid. Cheers Duke.
I understand the fear of slipping while using a Puuko knife, and slicing your hand wide open. However, consider that years ago, many men carried non-locking folding pocket knives and did a lot of work with them. And most of these pocket knives had smooth scales, and no finger guards of any sort either. My first hunting knife was an inexpensive Soligen lock-back folder with a carbon steel blade, and smooth wooden scales, and I never hurt myself gutting, or cleaning animals with it, although I always knew that I had to be careful, or I was going to the hospital, and hiking out with a badly cut hand would be no fun.
I really like a puuko and the sabre type grind is becoming more popular and I know the cutting ability is amazing but the ease of field sharpening a scandi grind still keeps from moving
I would love to see a comprehensive review of the Condor Aqualore. I know its basically a Bushlore with a fancy handle, but id still like to see it reviewed in the future. Please and Thank You
Is review of some Yakutian knife on thi channel? They are very interesting tools. In terms of this video, I absolutely agree. The puuko design really can't be improved more and the simplistic handle is also quite ingenious in my opinion. Modern handles with finger grooves are overrated although they certainly have their place in certain situations.
I like when they put a metal insert in the bowdrill divot, makes it soooo smooth. My FC7 "Firecrafter" by White River Knives has that. The knife is overpriced but I'll never regret the purchase. Should have got the 3.5" or 5", the 7" is a lil big for hiking with. This puukko looks like it would be a great size
Bamboo or dried palmetto is what I've always seen for friction fires down here. Bushcraft in Florida sucks and not just because it's usually hot as hell. An awful lot of our common woods are hard as a rock.
Finally a note on blade length. 4" is minimal, but I think the knife should be capable of making a coyote, wolf, or cougar get off you. We are seeing a lot of cougar attacks on joggers lately and now coyote attacks even in Los Angeles. Maybe bear spray. But animal attacks are no longer a joke.
IMHO puukko knives aren't great because they have that saber/Scandi grind plus signature handle design (I prefer Essee Izula and some of the Beckers, but his is purely a personal choice), they are neat because the Swedish obsession with the design, coupled with their permissive knife carry laws, means imported Puukko's are plentiful and cheap - incredible quality under $50 even under $30. There are some American companies, like Tops, who make upscale designs (and are worth every extra penny) but for the average country dweller, a cheap Morakniv etc. with one in every car and tool box and bedstand is an attainable goal.
Agree. I also feel that the cheap, hardware store screws in the handle are ridiculous. I guess I long for the days where manufacturers would pin their handle. When a knife manufacturer uses relatively cheap carbon steel, inexpensive handle material, and a ridiculously cheap and ugly method of fastening said handle, then charge 100 plus dollars for it, I usually lose interest real fast. Jmho
You might check out Frankie and Birds channel, if you havent already. I dont mean to suggest the "competitions" channel, but i know they've reviewed quite a few Ganzo knives.
That handle didn’t work for me hands. It was too small at the back end and I kept getting hot spots. Bummed me out because it was amazing in every way otherwise.
The Tops Tanimboca Puukko is full tang and all Mora's besides the Garberg are not full tang. And the Mora Garberg is about $100, like this knife. So technically, no, your Mora can't do everything this blade can do.
Oh God...these "but my $2 Mora will do anything" comments. 🙄 We all are well acquainted with Mora but the reality is they suck and can't "do everything" let alone do everything perfectly. I've had all the Moras over the years and while they are cheap and great for small woodworking tasks....they are cheap for a reason, folks. I look at Moras like throw-away blades or emergency back up blades.
It's to pricey for size..and there a bushcraft black, companion, garberg that falls under 100..this knife should be 50 bucks..but that's me who runs around in the woods with a mora 120 with a 90° sharpen spin.
I served this nation for 3 wars. My Marine Combat knife by Ka-Bar sure did me well. 2 knives I always carried...SAK, Ka-Bar Combat. A good multi-tool would have been added if they were more available back then.
I have a mint condition version if your interested in a trade its a great knife for its size can’t go wrong if your not looking for a machete but I would like a mint blade I like in return I can have it in the mail as soon as you show me something I want to trade for. I’ll even throw in the Benchmade pukko in 3v which I beat the bag out of and was very disappointed with the grind of the whole blade and it’s very fat huge almost a joke of a V edge it was the worst edge on any knife that wasn’t made by frost cutlery and I love Benchmade but what a fail on that pukko everything besides the green rubber grippy handle was just pathetic I’d fire someone if I saw that we were mass producing such a bad knife won’t even try any of their green rubber handled 3v steel fixed blade knives hopefully the pukko is by far their worst version and I on 20 Benchmades 18 folders the crappy pukko and their fantastic cpm154 meatcrafter what a blade for slicing dear meat chunks or even filleting fish though I would use it as a main hunting knife but for breaking down the meat for eating right away or for the basement freezer
Bingo, large is not always better and even can hinder certain wood crafting tasks. Learn how to use your knife. A true scandi grind right to the edge is preferrable over a secondary bevel re sharpening issues IMHO.
I love puukkos. Puukko basically just means knife but often used for small fixed blades they would use in cold climates instead of a folding blade. Usually a stick tang for that reason. It's a take on the puukko but not the best. Size and shape are ok. I see no use for these two holes in the front. I miss the lanyard hole at the back for working over open water, maybe gutting fish outside the canoe. These scews are ugly and also see no use for the bow drill holes. Carbon steel and a leather sheath are not the best in wet climates. The carbon steel will rust and the leather will rot. Still the best Tops design knife. Not a fan of Tops design and also this design compared to a real Scandinavian design and taking in consideration the price it's a no for me. I think the designer was limited by Tops, not given free hand. I think Tops set some parameters. There's no other way I can explain this. The only selling point possibly being USA made. In wet climates I would choose my 12C27 steel Brisa Elver any time.

I'm Finnish Guy so Have used puukkos for my hole life from 6year old never Have had a broblem for not having guard on knife
For bow-drill fires in Colorado, and the Mountain West in general, use a Cottonwood fire board with a Juniper or Sagebrush spindal.

I bought a Tops Tanimboca Puukko a year ago and it has become my “Go too” blade. Compact and light weight, it just does everything well.
Do you think that there are enough contours to be able to make a minimal, hopefully taco style, kydex sheath to be able to drop the whole knife in your pocket?
The Tanimboca puukko is amazing! I have it and the mini as well. 👍
I've had mine for well over a year now and use it a lot.
Top Knives! Tip of the hat for partnering up.
I like how you described the puukko as a "pro knife." The way that blade shape bites into wood...it does the same thing with flesh!

Yep, guards were for fighting knives and such. For carving, you want to get as close to the blade as you can for better leverage.
My Tanimboca came with a terrible edge. Took some work to get a good bite into wood. After all was said and done, it's a nice little knife.

Why call it a scandi grind at all? Seems to me it’s just a normal high sabre grind
That is true
It's just a modified scandi or a scandivex.
@@thorin693 what makes it different from a high sabre grind?
I call it the tapioca pukko. 😂 I know you like knives with guards for your needs, but it is a sweet lil blade.
Great review but here in the UK we pay double that price for it. The lack of a guard puts me off so I prefer the Tops Scandi Trekker
the scandinavian blades don t have an secondary bevel! and the degree of the bevels are 34°
its not at all uncommon to see secondary beqels in puukkos. alot of finnish puukkos have them. it doesnt make ot sny less ”true”
Tops still makes knives? Online website is always out of stock! You have to go on Facebook and ask who’s selling.
Bamboo or dried palmetto is what I've always seen for friction fires down here. Bushcraft in Florida sucks and not just because it's usually hot as hell. An awful lot of our common woods are hard as a rock.
To Aarons mind blown
Do you say this is a great fix played for every day Carrie and every day use are better options
Knife handles must have pins, not screws... (We don't even look at knives with screws!)

Puukko knifes are pull cut knives by design. Not generally recommend for push cut unless your very experienced
My morra will do everything that knife can do but at a 1/4 of the price . I do like the size though 👍

@@theaveragewoodsman6002 So precisely what can this full tang knife (a cutting tool) do that a mora robust for example can't?
The pukko design knives have only been field tested over a thousand years.

That's a sabrevex
Wrap the handle in paracord okay

Guys u definitely see pars bushcraft..... Mini bushcraft is the same knife
Dude You only hang out with guys with big hands
Bingo, large is not always better and even can hinder certain wood crafting tasks. Learn how to use your knife. A true scandi grind right to the edge is preferrable over a secondary bevel re sharpening issues IMHO.
Too blocky handles , a straight line with the blade edge, with nothing to stop the fingers from sliding to, giving no comfidence for a hard use.
I love puukkos. Puukko basically just means knife but often used for small fixed blades they would use in cold climates instead of a folding blade. Usually a stick tang for that reason. It's a take on the puukko but not the best. Size and shape are ok. I see no use for these two holes in the front. I miss the lanyard hole at the back for working over open water, maybe gutting fish outside the canoe. These scews are ugly and also see no use for the bow drill holes. Carbon steel and a leather sheath are not the best in wet climates. The carbon steel will rust and the leather will rot. Still the best Tops design knife. Not a fan of Tops design and also this design compared to a real Scandinavian design and taking in consideration the price it's a no for me. I think the designer was limited by Tops, not given free hand. I think Tops set some parameters. There's no other way I can explain this. The only selling point possibly being USA made. In wet climates I would choose my 12C27 steel Brisa Elver any time.
NOPE! I don't like Tops. I can always find a better knife in better quality, made in The U.S. at a better price.
It is not the next level Puukko. 🤷🏻♂️
