The Vaara ("Forested Hill") has a good-sized blade at almost 4", and the full-sized handle is shaped at both ends to provide a firm grip and would work well even while wearing gloves or mittens. This version of the Vaara has a carbon steel blade.
Below are the detailed measurements of this knife. One important note: for best comfort and grip, the length of your middle finger should be similar to the circumference of the handle.A beautiful well-made knife and sheath. It's my first knife of this style in my small collection. Will buy from them again.
Bought as a gift. Very nice looking and quality looks top notch. Well satisfied!
Like the previous review, I have been impressed with my carbon steel Mora knives. In fact have retired my Buck knives, and given Moras to my brother, son and brother-in-law. But, in the looks department, the Moras are pretty poor. So I got to looking for a nice looking upgrade which would have carbon steel. After a search found the Ahti Varrapuukko. It arrived and I am pleased with the quality of the knife. It will be something I would be happy to wear in camp, and I have no doubt it will work as well as my Moras in the field. I am not so sure about the sheath, which would dangle as you walk and is hard to draw the knife out of. But that can be changed.
100% enjoy my carbon steel Mora's but wanted a "pretty" yet functional traditional puukko. Looked at a bunch of manufacturers before deciding on the Ahti Varrapuukko. What a great choice! This knife is awesome in every regard. The carbon blade is a very useful length, is a full 1/8" thick, and arrived scary sharp. The spine is flat, sharp edged, and rough so am certain it will easily light up a ferro rod. The curly birch handle is beautifully figured and fits my hand great. The brass bolster is well fitted and a very useful addition to the design. The sheath fits perfect and as a bonus comes as a solidly constructed belt loop dangler. I could not be happier. The price is very fair for such an excellent knife. Communication with Knives of the North went well and delivery was as expected. My only conflict is deciding on which leuku style I should add to the collection next!
