Lapin Puukko knives are made in the small town of Tervola in Finnish Lapland, near
the artic circle. The shop was founded in 1974 by Esa Silvola. It has since grown to five knife
makers.
The knives are very traditional in form and severely functional in style. They have little in the
way of decoration, but are made with the highest quality materials. They are knives meant to
be used. Click on the image for a larger image of the knife and it's sheath.
#3001; Leukupuukko 1, A basic small puukko with a blade about 3 3/8" long, and about 7 1/4"
overall. The highly polished carbon steel blades are hardened to about 59 on the Rockwell C scale, and are about .125" thick (about 1/8").
They take and hold a superior edge. The knife and sheath weigh only about 2 1/4 ounces.
This would make a neat neck knife. The leuku style flat pommel facilitates using the off hand
to apply pressure to the point. It comes with the traditional pouch sheath that hangs from a
twisted thong.$35
#3002; Leukupuukko 2, A mid-sized puukko with a blade about 3 5/8", and about 7 3/4" long
overall. The highly polished carbon steel blade is about .118" thick and hardened to about 59 on the Rockwell
C scale. The knife and sheath weigh about 3 3/4 ounces. Many think this is the ideal size for
an all around knife. The diameter of the handle is still within the range of average sized hands.
It comes with the traditional pouch sheath that hangs from a twisted thong. $39 Out of Stock
#3008; Leukupuukko 2 with furred sheath, The same knife is available with an optional
flat sheath decorated with fur. The knife and sheath weigh about 3 3/4 ounces. $49 Out of Stock
#3003; Leukupuukko 3, A larger puukko with a blade about 4 1/8", and about 8 1/2" long
overall. This is a good knife for those who like a slightly larger blade.

The knife and sheath weigh about 3 3/4 ounces. It comes with the traditional
pouch sheath that hangs from a twisted
thong. $45

long. It's the same blade as the Leukupuukko 2 shown above. The knife is about 7 3/4"" overall,
and comes in a flat style sheath that hangs from a belt loop. The knife and sheath weigh

This might be a more generally useful size. It comes with a black sheath and the knife

#3050; The "Military Knife" is a version originally sold only to the
Finnish military .

#3032; The "Outdoor Knife 145" has a larger blade about 5 5/8" long and about .131" thick. The longer blade and
well defined pommel flare make this one suitable for light chopping as well as slicing. The knife and
