This is our take on the quintessential Finnish puukko, a utilitarian knife made for handling a large variety of tasks.

At Kasperi we believe the things we produce should last for life. Items should cultivate a special connection with their users. After the popular collaboration in 2020 with Roselli - we came together to create the second edition of the Explorer Set.

In our 2022 collaboration, we created the Kasperi Puukko, our vision of the quintessential Finnish utility knife paired with a Firesteel, crafted by Roselli. Now in natural tan leather!

For Finns the puukko is the original multitool. The skill of using a puukko in versatile ways safely is not only useful but also a great source of joy. In Finnish tradition, the puukko is used for absolutely everything. It was used for preparing a fire, carving, making shelters for the night, preparing a meal, and eating. The Kasperi Puukko is made to cultivate these wilderness skills.

Optional addition: Roselli axe, short w/ Kasperi custom sheath

We still have a limited quantity of these Roselli's travel Axes available to add to your Puukko order. The axe with a shorter handle is an effective wood-cutting tool, whether used while camping or at the summer cottage. The wide blade angle prevents the axe from getting stuck, and in addition to woodcutting, it can be used for whittling as well. This special edition comes with a Kasperi custom-made Cognac-brown German SOHRE Tanneries vegetable-tanned leather sheath to protect the edge. The axe handle is made from birch and is stained and coated with linseed oil to ensure a firm grip, even when wet.

Design

Puukko – the Original Multitool

The shaped handle is made out of curly birch and treated with linseed oil for a firm grip even when wet.
The burly 4 mm thick blade and the full tang structure make this knife uniquely equipped to handle rougher tasks with ease.
Roselli's signature Ultra High Carbon steel keeps the edge sharp like no other.
Our tailored sheath made out of vegetable-tanned leather protects the blade and lets you hang the Puukko safely on your belt.
The Firesteel that’s housed on the sheath makes the Kasperi Puukko a valuable tool for creating a fire.

Usage instructions

How to make a fire with the Roselli Firesteel

The Firesteel is housed in the tailored sheath along with the Puukko. The firesteel is a tool with which you can create sparks for creating a fire. The firesteel is used with the backside of the knife to strike sparks on a prepared “primer” tinder - for example, dry birch bark that is rasped with a knife to create a flammable kindling. Once you get the kindling ignited, it is gradually fed with larger sticks until you have a campfire.

How to take a good care of your Puukko to make it last for life?

UHC steel offers unparalleled blade performance, yet this also means that the blade should be handled with care. The hardness of the steel means that small rocks in between the blade and wood can cause blade edge damage. Edge damage can be refurbished easily by a knife smith or by sending the knife to Roselli's included lifetime sharpening service. Therefore we recommend that when batoning (splitting wood with the knife), take care that you always use the knife on the clean side of the log and take care to not drop the knife on rocks or other hard surfaces. For corrosion protection rinsing the blade from any saltwater, then drying and oiling the blade is the best practice. By keeping your blade clean and oiled, you'll make sure the blade will stay sharp and strong for ages.

This product includes Roselli's lifetime sharpening service. So in case your blade needs refurbishing, just ship the product, and Roselli will take care of it!

A little gem

I am very satisfied with the Puukko Kasperi x Roselli. The knife is very solid, perfect for general bushcraft tasks and outdoor excursions. The stained birch handle is beautiful, and the 4mm-thick Wootz steel blade needs no introduction. The package is rounded off by a beautiful, expertly crafted leather sheath that includes a fire steel. An excellent product.

Don't buy... crazy expensive price for no reason at all...!

Way way more expensive than the best knife brands (Fällkniven, ESEE, Lionsteel, Gerber, Mora, Varusteleka, Brisa, etc...).
Totally fake steel informations, etc etc...
A 50€ Mora or Varusteleka knife are better than this one...

Collector’s Item

Collector’ item means two things: pride of ownership based on the rarity of the product, and it means the product is overpriced given its actual performance value. In this case, I would say 120 euros overpriced.

The knife arrived quickly and reasonably well packaged, though given the price one would expect a wooden presentation box.

The first impression is stunningly good. A beautiful knife-sheath-ferro rod combo. The second impression was less favorable: sheath retention was so tight, it took serious force to pull the knife (and I am quite strong). After a couple of days trying to just stretch the sheath I gave up and wet-moulded the sheath to where it has good retention, but the knife can be drawn with one hand. Clearly this should not happen, given that Kasperi specializes in leather work: a disappointing start.

The second disappointment is aesthetic: out of the sheath the handle looks oversized, too bulky for the blade. Those are personal quibbles, of course. However, compared to direct competitors like the Casström Lars Fält, the LionSteel B40 or the Brisa Trooper 115 (see picture) I find this knife both the least aesthetically pleasing and the least convincing design.

But then: I am comparing to what I consider to be three of the very best comparable knives in the world. Coming in second to them is no shame. Using the Kasperi-Roselli for a while, I did come to appreciate its rugged design. I also appreciate Roselli in general, and this is a much better knife than their own full tang hunting knife.

At the end of the day, the knife was worth the money to me, though as a collector’s item, rather than an especially successful design. For those on a tighter budget: the same money will buy any two of the other knives I mentioned…

Oikeaa käsityöperinnettä!

Arvostan käsityöntekijänä itsekkin (kultaseppä) Kasperin valitsemaa tapaa valmistaa ja toimia! Näin olette malliesimerkki tavasta toimia jos tuote on hyvä suunnittelu onnistunutta ja toimituskin pakkauksia myöten mietitty ja ennenkaikkea toteutettu. Silloin voidaan ottaa tuotteesta kunnon hinta myös! Sain ensimmäiset laukut jotka olivat juuri niin hyviä kun annoitte ymmärtää! Ostin ne pojilleni jotka vetävät meidän perheyritystä, olivat tosi ilahtuneet niistä. Tässä juuri naputtelen uusia tilauksia meidän muille lapsille ja vävyille! Kaiken tämän "krääsän Temujen"keskellä olette näyttäneet että on mahdollista menestyä laadullakin! Toivon, että teillä riittää voimia pitää tätä linjaa, saatte innostuneita työntekijöitä, ettekä sorru liialliseen ahneuteen! Terv.

Kasperi Puuko

Absolutely love this knife. It feels very solid and sturdy. Knife and sheath are beautiful examples of exceptional craftsmanship and great design - it is a joy to use this knife during picnic or around camp. As it is a quite solid peace of gear it is not the ultimate choice for ‘weight weenies’.
