Laurin Metalli — known simply as Lauri — has been forging blades in Kauhava, the traditional heart of Finnish knife-making, since 1918. This is one of their leuku blade blanks: a hardened, sharpened 175mm blade with a 37-39mm-deep, 3.25mm-thick spine, ground to the classic full Scandi profile and left with a narrow tang rather than a finished handle. The leuku itself is the big working knife of Lapland — heavier and longer than a puukko, traditionally used by the Sami for splitting kindling, processing firewood and handling larger butchery and carcass work around camp. This particular blank is made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel rather than Lauri's usual carbon steel, trading a little edge-holding for real resistance to corrosion — a sound choice for wet fieldwork, and for anyone using the finished knife on fish or game where rust is the enemy. Supplied as a blade only, it's aimed at knife makers, bushcrafters and stalkers who want to fit their own handle scales, bolster and sheath rather than buy a finished knife off the shelf, giving a low-maintenance basis for a genuinely heavy-duty field or camp knife.
