Laurin Metalli — known simply as Lauri — has been forging blades in Kauhava, the traditional heart of Finnish knife-making, since 1918. This is their Small Leuku blade blank: a hardened, sharpened 180mm blade with a 27mm-deep, 3.25mm-thick spine, ground to the classic full Scandi profile and left with a generous tang rather than a finished handle — around 310mm overall and roughly 126g unhandled. 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 Small Leuku carries a slimmer, lighter blade than Lauri's standard Leuku pattern while keeping a long, useful reach. Made from 80CrV2, a proven high-carbon tool steel, it takes a genuinely keen edge and holds it well through hard use, though it needs a wipe of oil after a wet day to keep rust at bay. 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.
