## Description

TOPS KNIVES TANIMBOCA PUUKKO KNIFE Puukkos are a style of knife originally developed in Scandinavia. Through the years, they have remained largely unchanged. Characteristically, they are Scandi ground knives with thick, round wooden handles. Most do not have a finger guard, which allows the person using it to get their hand as close to the cutting edge as possible. This gives the user very precise and controlled cutting. Its simplistic design is both useful and intuitive and has definitely withstood the test of time. To make the Tanimboca Puuko, TOPS has teamed up with Goran Mihajlovic. Goran is originally from Serbia but grew up in Germany. He has lived in Colombia now for the last 20 plus years. He owns a nature reserve called Tanimboca that houses hundreds if not thousands of species of plant, animal, and insect. Throughout his entire life, he has been a knife user and enthusiast. In recent years he has begun making knives at his forge in the desertcart jungle. He prefers Puukkos for their ability to perform well at large variety of cutting tasks. The TOPS version of his design mixes traditional elements with TOPS’ style. It has the classic Puukko blade with a very slight clip point. The spine is ground to 90 degrees for scraping tasks. Well-rounded Tan Canvas Micarta handles with red liners 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, you won’t want to put it down.

Review: Most Impressed - I absolutely love this knife. While I reshaped the micro-bevel into my own convex edge, I will say that the factory edge wasn’t terrible. The steel itself has been heat treated very well! Striking the same ferro rod with a schrade heat treated 1095 steel vs the Tops 1095 steel is noticeably different. The edge retention is phenomenal due to the heat treating on this blade. Granted 1095 is mid level steel, but I will say Tops does a great job of optimizing it for durability. Remember to coat it or it will rust. The length of the blade is a perfect length for bushcrafting and the thickness of the blade is good enough for camping tasks, such as batoning wood. It works as a fantastic companion for your axe. The spine came very sharp. You won’t need to worry about the ability to strike a ferro rod with this knife. I anticipate that your knife will be the same, as the QC is excellent with this company. The handle is simply excellent. It is a full tang knife with micarta scales. The grip is going to be great no matter how wet or dry your palms are. I haven’t utilized the bowdrill divot yet, but it’s nice to have just in case I decide to put my friction fire skills to practice. The shape of the handle is perfect and I haven’t experienced hotspots on my palm in the time that I’ve had this. My only gripe is that I wish it had a lanyard hole as the sheath is VERY well friction fitted to the handle, and can be difficult to remove from the sheath. Speaking of which, the rather sheath is very well made. I recommend polishing your leather sheath as it came to me as a bit dry. But it, non-the-less, Serves its’ purpose well. In conclusion, I do truly like this knife. Admittedly, there are aspects of this knife that don’t truly make it a traditional puukko (such as it being full tang rather than a rat tail/partial tang, or microbevels being placed on a scandi grind) but in my opinion, tops has optimized the puukko for modern preferences in a blade.
Review: Can't put it down - One of the best knives I've ever owned. It's 1095, supposedly tops give them a clear cerakote, but I still coat it with a mineral oil and bees wax mix that I like for carbon steel. Came sharp, carbon steel is easy to maintain the edge, so far the edge is holding really well even carving wood and cutting up cardboard and plastic at work. Feels great in the hand with a lot of control of the blade. Handle is fantastic but I'm biased, micarta is my favorite handle material, it holds nice when your hands are wet. It could be more aggressive but it still sticks to your hands when wet. I'd buy another as back up if it wasn't so expensive.

*by C***T on March 28, 2018*

Amazing knife! The blade is basic 1095 high carbon steel, which makes it easy to sharpen and maintain an edge in the field. The handle is well made brown canvas micarta, which has a very solid feel to it. The knife came razor sharp out of the box with a very well made brown leather sheath. I personally like a Kydex sheath, so I purchased a scout style carry kydex sheath from 7rattlesbushcraft.com, who has the knife in stock and doesn’t require you to mail yours in. I’d highly recommend purchasing this sheath, the guy who makes them is great to deal with and a very pleasant and respectful guy. Besides the sheath (which is a personal preference) the knife is simply amazing and well made. As an active military member I will be taking this knife with me on my next deployment. I’d give the knife 10 stars if given the opportunity! From bushcraft tasks to EDC carry, this knife will meet all your expectations for a small well built belt knife. I actually bought 2 just to have a back up, and so I don’t feel bad using the first one and putting it through everything I can throw at it. The knife goes for $150-$180 on the manufacturers website depending on the options you choice, so for around $100 on Amazon your really getting a bargain for such a quality product, you simply can’t go wrong buying this knife.
