Finnish Knife Brisa Polar Puukko 95 | Curly Birch & Carbon Steel
Superior Steel and Traditional Geometry
Like its smaller siblings, this model utilizes 80CrV2 high carbon steel. This steel is chosen for its exceptional toughness and ease of sharpening—crucial qualities when you are miles from civilization. The blade features a classic Scandi grind, known for its ability to bite deep into wood with minimal effort. The upper flats of the blade retain the dark forge scale, giving the knife a rustic, authentic look while providing extra protection against the elements.
The handle is crafted from Curly Birch (Masur Birch), offering a warm, secure grip. The barrel shape is ergonomic, ensuring comfort during prolonged use, even in cold conditions. The contrast between the figured wood, black fibre spacers, and brass bolsters makes this knife as beautiful as it is functional.
History and Versatility
A Puukko of this size has historically been the standard "belt knife" for Finnish outdoorsmen. It offers the perfect balance of control and power:
- Bushcraft & Camping: The 9.5 cm (approx. 3.75 inches) blade is long enough to baton small kindling and process firewood, yet still agile enough for carving tasks.
- Hunting: The blade length and shape are excellent for dressing game and general butchery in the field.
- Camp Kitchen: Unlike smaller carving knives, the Polar 95 can comfortably slice bread, meat, and vegetables for your campfire stew.
The knife comes in a high-quality leather sheath with a deep-carry design that holds the knife securely by friction alone. It features a stamped reindeer motif and a dangler loop, allowing the sheath to move with your body for maximum comfort.

Care Instructions
This knife is made from natural materials and carbon steel, requiring proper care:
- Blade: Carbon steel is not stainless. Always wipe the blade dry after use. Apply a thin layer of oil (e.g., camellia or gun oil) for storage to prevent rust. Be careful with acidic foods.
- Handle: Treat the wood occasionally with linseed oil or beeswax to maintain its water resistance and beauty.
- Sheath: Keep the leather supple with a quality leather balm.
- Warning: Never wash this knife in a dishwasher.
Please note: Curly birch is a natural product. The grain and colour of your knife will vary from the photos, making each piece unique.
Safety Warning
This knife is a sharp tool intended for cutting. It is not designed for throwing, prying, or combat. Always use with caution and respect for the sharp edge.
I recommend adding a high-quality maintenance oil to your order to keep the carbon steel in top condition.
