Finn Lite - Puukko Knife - Fixed-Blade Carbon Steel Knife with Leather Sheath - Small Full Tang Camping Knives - Scandinavian Camp Utility Knives

This little minimalistic BPS Puukko knife is tough as nails and easy on the wallet. If I'm not mistaken the word Puukko means small, so if you opt to buy one don't be surprised at how little it actually is. There's nothing about the knife that is fancy or has a WOW factor in any way or shape. But don't let that dissuade you from picking one up. Sharp right out of the box, a little rough around the spine and hilt, but otherwise fantastic for doing jobs that larger and fancier knives run at double or triple the price. It's really a woodworking knife, but I can see it serving in a more expanded utilitarian role. What's not to like about it? Lightweight and easy to use, BPS hit it out of the park with this tiny guy.

Hard to beat for the money!! Super sharp, full tang, Scandinavian grind with a sharp 90° spine in carbon steel. It’s a small knife but very comfortable in the hand. Excellent bushcraft and general purpose crafting knife. This knife hones very easily but needs to be touched up occasionally. The sheath is a nice shape but made from leather that is too thin for a sheath. Either create a liner for it to make it safer or get a replacement. You can also dip it in straight melted beeswax to make it a little stiffer if you don’t want to replace it.

As someone who owns and regularly uses knives from a wide range of brands, I can confidently say that BPS Knives continues to impress—and this Finn Lite is another excellent example of what they do so well. First, a quick note on the brand: BPS is a Ukrainian company, and in my experience, they consistently deliver honest, no-nonsense craftsmanship at a price point that’s hard to beat. I own several of their knives, and every one of them has been extremely well made, highly functional, and ready to work right out of the box. This knife is no exception. The edge comes razor sharp out of the box—not just “factory sharp,” but genuinely usable for carving, food prep, or camp tasks immediately. The Scandinavian grind performs exactly as expected—clean, precise cuts with excellent control. The walnut handle is another highlight. BPS does a great job with their wood handles, and this one feels solid, ergonomic, and warm in hand, with a natural grip that works well in both dry and slightly damp conditions. Fit and finish are excellent for the price. The full tang construction gives it a reassuring, durable feel without adding unnecessary weight, and the overall balance makes it a pleasure to use for extended periods. The included leather sheath is also well done—simple, functional, and sturdy enough for real field use. What really stands out to me is the value. You’re getting a knife that performs like something in a much higher price tier, without any gimmicks—just good steel, good geometry, and solid craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a dependable small fixed blade for camping, carving, or general utility, this is an easy recommendation. BPS has quietly become one of the best value brands out there—and this knife shows exactly why.

I picked up this one on a whim. I'm glad I did. The knife is quite impressive. Kinda like a Mora #1 with a subtle guard. The blade is thin and well ground. It came with just a little bit of a burr still hanging on the edge. A minute or two of stropping had it singing right along. I'd say it's an excellent camping knife or EDC. Good for cutting cordage, whittling marshmallow sticks, fuzz sticks, opening Mountain House bags, etc. It is clearly an inexpensive knife, but there is truly no deceit in the matter. I'm paying for inexpensive carbon steel, and unfinished wood handles. No problem there. That's stuff I can improve myself, and I'm happy for the project. Fit and finish overall was very good for the price paid. Blade grinds were quite symmetrical and well done. Handle is comfortable for most hands, at least for short to medium usage. extensive usage would likely find a larger handle a bit more comfortable. Now the sheath...I actually like the design. It can be set up with a paracord dangler, an Ulti-clip, a belt loop made, etc. It's actually a very nice design. But the leather is about as thick as construction paper. It's not a matter of if the sheath pokes through, but when. This sheath is hot trash, but the knife is a good enough value that it deserves something better. kydex, some other leather sheath, etc. In my case, I had an old dangler from a long gone Greco knife that molded in and fit like it was custom made to it. The old sheath can get ya' by in the meantime, but just know that it's not gonna last forever, and be prepared to deal with it.

Every outdoors type person can benefit from this well made and super affordable knife. Compact, lightweight and easily carried, the robust and sharp little blade can accomplish most camping or bushcrafting tasks. Like all BPS knives , it comes with a very sturdy leather sheath that allows for different carry options. Just remember to keep a little oil on the blade to prevent rust.

When the first knife arrived it came without a sheath. I cycled around the AI bots asking for a sheath ONLY. Apparently the AI bots couldn't process that so finally I "chatted" and I was offered a completely new knife with sheath. Although that wasn't what I wanted I said "sure" and "thanks" It arrived 2 days later free of charge, "don't send the other back" Now, the review. I love the size, the scandi-grind and sharpness. I love the size. What I do not love is the screws that stick out from the handle, the rough wood of the handle and the lightweight very tight fit sheath. Believe me when I say that it is not a "high quality" sheath. For the money, yes. Its a decent small blade, but it's not 4 star, and neither us the sheath

Amazing knife, especially for the money. Razor sharp out of the box and good feel in hand. Got this one for my father and I'm getting one for myself.

Some people feel that the sheath leather is too soft. I do not agree. True, most BPS knives sheaths are thick stiff leather--but this is appropriate for this knife. This is an excellent knife for carving! The short blade and fine tip allow for excellent and precise control. A thumb on the spine of the knife gives full control for intricate detail work. It is almost suitable for an all round Bushcraft knife, but is just a bit small. Together with a small hatchet--you could do it all. I favour small knives for Bushcraft, experience has told me that they are superior. This knife fits nicely into the utility knife leg pocket on work pants. The steel is, of course good, and it arrives very sharp. The eyelets in the sheath allow you to design your own carrying method. A leather bootlace made into a loop and toggle system would allow it to be hung of a belt without even unbuckling.

5 stars - quality for price. Good carbon steel, sharp enough, does rust so needs oil. Sparky on ferro rod. Wooden handle fits nice, not perfect. Sheath was much better than expected, not cheap pleather. Money well spent, happy I am.

Coltellino fantastico. Piccolo, ben fatto, ottimo acciaio al carbonio, si affila in un attimo, tiene bene il filo, il profilo scandi con lo spessore non eccessivo (2mm) divora il legno. Smontate le guancette e passivato la lama, non un filo di ruggine in qualche mese, e ora è anche più bello. Custodia in cuoio ben fatta, non molto spesso, penso che la tratterò a cera per dare più rigidità. Con questo e un victorinox con seghetto nello zaino si fa tutto, e si viaggia leggeri, lavoretti vari, legnetti e fuoco sono assicurati (alla bisogna il dorso lancia scintille come un drago). Funzionalità come un Mora companion carbon, ma questo è full tang e ha 100 volte più fascino.

En av de knivar jag använder mest i skogen. Perfekt storlek att ha med. Ingen kniv att batonera med. Har den som neckknife.

Das Messer kam schon ab Werk Rasiermesserscharf an, was echt selten ist. Es liegt wie angegossen in meiner (recht normalgroßen) Hand und der Holzgriff hat bei meinem Messer eine perfekte Verarbeitung. Was mir noch besser gefällt als beim Mora Companion, ist dass hier der Messerrücken sehr scharfkantig ist. Feuerstahl anreißen oder Holz mit dem Rücken abschaben um die Schneide zu schonen wird also gut funktionieren. Wie es sich bei der Holzverarbeitung schlägt wird noch getestet, aber heute damit gekocht und das hat anders als bei vielen Scandis sehr gut funktioniert, ohne Karotten Meterweit wegzuschießen, was wohl an der dünnen Klinge liegt. Und die Patina für den Rostschutz kommt dann auch von allein.Also grad beim Wandern oder auf Touren braucht man eigentlich garnet mehr. Dass Scandis genauso gut für Lebensmittelverarbeitung sind ist selten, und für Holz sowieso das beste. Es hat die gleiche Qualität in Sachen Verarbeitung und Werkschärfe wie ein Mora, aber mir gefällt der Stil besser. Holzgriffe und Lederscheiden (wobei es bei diesem Preis wohl eher Kunstleder sein wird) gefällt mir einfach besser als Plastik. Wer sich dafür entscheidet sollte nur bedenken, dass es wie jedes Carbonmesser rosten kann, wenn man es beim Regen draußen vergisst, oder nicht sofort trocknet. Aber dafür bekommt es durch Patina ein individuelles Aussehen, und man kann es schnell mit sämtlichen Mitteln wieder schärfen. Für diesen Preis wird man ziemlich sicher kein besseres Messer für Wandertouren und Holzverarbeitung finden

Envoie rapide, super petit couteau idéal pour la sculpture et les feather sticks. Petit couteau idéal en complément d’un couteau de camp. Belle réalisation, excellent rapport qualité prix.
