Tops Tanimboca Puukko

Product detailed description

Puukkos is a style of knife originally developed in Scandinavia. They have remained largely unchanged over the years. They are characterized by Scandinavian ground knives with thick, round wooden handles. Most do not have a finger guard, allowing the person using them to bring the hand as close to the blade as possible. This allows the user to make very precise and controlled cuts. Their simplistic design is both useful and intuitive and has definitely stood the test of time.
TOPS teamed up with Goran Mihajlovic to produce the Tanimboca Puuko. Goran is originally from Serbia, but grew up in Germany. He has now lived in Colombia for more than 20 years. He owns the Tanimboca Nature Reserve, which contains hundreds, if not thousands, of species of plants, animals and insects. He has been a user and knife enthusiast all his life. In recent years, he started making knives in his forge in the Amazon jungle. He prefers Puukkos knives for their ability to perform a large number of cutting tasks well.
His TOPS design blends traditional elements with TOPS style. It has a classic Puukko blade with a very slight clip point. The spine is ground to a 90 degree angle for scraping tasks. The well-rounded Tan Canvas Micarta handles with red inserts honor the traditional style. The knife sits deep in the leather sheath. Add a breakaway chain or paracord and it can easily be worn as a neck knife when needed. Once you get your hands on the Tanimboca Puukko knife, you won't want to put it down.
