Product detailed description

Wood Jewel Leuku 23LE

Large traditional lappish leuku knife with a 21 cm long blade. Leuku is a traditional tool in Lapland, where it is used for everyday activities, from easier wood work such as cutting smaller wood pieces or removing bark to gutting animals. As a durable and reliabile knife, leuku is an excellent choice for outdoor activities, bushcraft or hunting.

Wood Jewel Leuku features a 21 cm blade made of 80CrV2 carbon steel. With a thickness of 3,3 mm it can handle a lot. 80CrV2 carbon steel is known for its extreme toughness and quite good hardness at the same time. Also it is quite easy to sharpen, even in the field. Just like most leuku knives, this blade features a scandi grind and a straight back blade profile.

Handle is made by skillfull craftsmen using a combination of curly birch, reindeer antler, leather and brass. This blend of materials provides a comfortable grip during use and looks really well. Handles are ergonomically shaped and fits into the hand very well.
