Varusteleka Oy gave us a sneak peek of their new Terävä Skrama 200 knife at SHOT Show.

Skrama – as in Scramasax or Seax, a short, single-edged sword popular in the Middle Ages. Much like the Scandinavian Leuku, it doubles up as a tool and weapon. A fine name is always nice and the best ones are those with some history behind them – our 21st-century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Saxon man from “ye good olde days”.

The 200mm long 80CRV2 Carbon Steel blade is slightly curved, with a hole in the tip for hanging. The back of the blade is flat, no saw teeth so it can be used for batoning wood when an axe isn’t handy. The full tang construction reveals a hole at the butt for a wrist strap.

The blade is sharpened to two different angles. Near the grip a 2″ portion has an angle of 25° for whittling and fine work. The rest of the blade has an edge of 34°, which has proven to be excellent for this type of chopping blade.

The handle is rubber for a positive grip, even when wet.

Comes with a leather sheath. Available with a plastic cover for a slightly less, in case you want to fashion your own sheath.
