The search for the best large bushcraft knife may have been over a long time ago. The Terava Skrama 240 checks all the boxes for a large bushcraft knife for its capabilities in the forest. A durable bushcraft knife with a unique handle, and a well ground edge to match. It also would make a really good survival knife too, in a one tool rules all scenario. Overall, I cannot complain one bit with the terava skrama. It is a very capable blade, and for those who love a large bushcraft knife, this one may just be the every best out there. And its affordable too!

For a long time i disliked larger knives and to an extent machetes. Then i got a skrama 240 and its just simply awesome. The ergonomics, materials, design and execution are top notch. Its insanely useful in a forest setting and like you said a "one tool" consideration.

I'm with you on that one. None of my other large knives really challenge my axes for bag space like the skrama.

@toddkanhai3164 2 ай бұрын

I've got one. I love it. 240 mm. Just the right length. That first two inches of the blade has that scandi grind to for the finer details like feathersticks. Nice weight too.

Right on, its a fun one for sure. Thanks for watching!

A superb tool and absurdly tough to boot. A couple of years back I was clearing a portage trail in thick brush and hit a block of granite full on with the edge of my Skrama 240. There was edge damage but not as bad as I thought there would be. I found an old brick and used it as an improvised whetstone and not only cleaned up the damage, but I sharpened it back to the point I used it for the remainder of the trip. I still carry and use it to this day, and it will accompany me on all my extended trips.

crazy, I've hit rocks before with other knives and had them chip badly. Would be a useful tool for making a portage trail!

I have the 240 and OMG! The moment you pick up you can feel the possibilities. Amazing value and a brutal bushcraft tool.

@TheDaveDryden Ай бұрын

agreed! I just came back from a bushcraft survival solo and I only brought the skrama for a cutting tool, no axe, saw or other fixed blade. The vid will probably go live in a couple weeks, thanks for watching!

Hello! I already have a Skrama 240. Maybe I have around 40 knives in all shapes and sizes but I agree. You are right. The Skrama gives a special feeling. I live in Germany and the actual prize for one Skrama with plastic sheeth is 75 Euro, 10 to 15 Euro for shipping. Nobody can beat this prize for such a quality. You know what? You made me feel so enthusiastic that I orderd two Skramas. One as a present and one for the car. You earned yourself a new subscriber. Greetings!

One of the most useful knives you can buy. Mine is at least seven years old and one of my reach for tools when there is work to be done. Thinking man's golok.

I definitely agree!

@Feanor821 Ай бұрын

Awesome vid. Shipping from Finland to NY was actually very affordable, $8.99 I think. The affordability is part of what makes this tool great but I’d love to see a premium version. 3v with micarta handle. I would buy it, like, so fast.

@TheDaveDryden Ай бұрын

hehe ya that would be nice. thanks for the feedback on costs! Even if they offered a 14c28n on there Jaakari puukkos that would be cool too.

Great review🙂 I am a major skrama fanboy. The balance is so great. My only negative of them is boy do they want to rust! I don’t care though. Rusty Skrama for the win!🤩🤩🤩

haha true that, they are the definition of "carbon steel rusts." just gives it another edge in the weapon department. taste the tetanus!

@TheDaveDryden there is a tendency for many of these channels to be so serious. The reality is it's just building forts in the woods and playing with fun toys. Anyone who says it isn't is lying (to themselves). Sure, pick up skills along the way and learn some preparedness. Glad to see you out, wearing your '$hit eating grin'

I mean, it's basically a parang. Im not sure why it would be orkish. Nevertheless, it is a great chopping tool.

Hey Dave, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel. Wanna try out a free thumbnail first?

No, for anything over 3 inches, a Folding Saw would be more efficient! Also quieter.

True definitely quieter, but where's the fun in that!

Spoken like someone who's never used a skrama

@longrider42 2 ай бұрын

Well its almost in my price range. But I think my Condor Moonshiner or my Khukuri with a 8 inch blade, will work just nicely. But, this knife does remind me of a Parang.

It is pretty unique feeling overall, not quite parang not quite seax

Ive agonized for nearly 12 months to get the 200 or the 240.. The 200 will arrive this week.. if they made the 240with the 200 handle.. I really dont need another axe disguised as a knife..

@TheDaveDryden 13 күн бұрын

I don't think there is a wrong decision really. Depends on what you are going for and use it for and the knives you already own. I'm sure the 200 will be a fun one too enjoy!
