I've had a lot of fun with a fairly unorthodox chopper, rooted in traditional Scandinavian design. The maker, Finnish Varusteleka, is originally a military surplus & gear store, but not being quite satisfied with some of the gear, they decided to design some improved versions of both military and non-military gear, launching some sub brands, including Terävä (Finnish for "sharp") for knives.I've been using mostly their big "Leuku", the Skrama for the last year, but also the smaller "Puukko", the Jääkäripuukko (Hunter's Knife), and I have been very happy with both. The chopper is just fantastic and pretty much replaces an axe in most outdoors uses, but also is a decent carving knife as it is differentially sharpened.The puukko is in the same range as the Peltonen Sissipuukko and the Mora Garberg, but substantially cheaper. It doesn't have the same finish as the other two, but performs the same and is a really good choice.Both come in both carbon and stainless, but only the Skrama currently has MOLLE sheaths as well as leather.You can read more about both knives here, and also see a short YT quick review: http://ift.tt/2fu6PGf http://ift.tt/2eBMxgB
