The Iso Uppo is specifically designed for hiking – an activity where the weight of the pack is a crucial factor. It is sized between the Jätkänvuolu and the Poromiehenleuku, incorporating all the features a hiker needs in a compact form.
The Iso Uppo features a polished carbon steel blade and a birch bark handle treated with linseed oil, which provides a secure grip and is not slippery even when wet. Alternatively, the Iso Uppo is also available with a lacquered handle.
The blade is extremely sharp and easy to maintain with a sharpening stone. Its size makes it suitable for camp tasks, cutting firewood, and preparing kindling and carving. Due to its light weight, it can also be conveniently carried on a belt.
This excellent tool requires proper care: always clean, dry, and oil it with food-grade oil after use, and never leave it wet in the sheath. For sharpening, we recommend our whetstones that come with a leather sheath for carrying around on a belt.
Overall length is 27.5 cm, knife length is 24 cm, and blade length is 12.5 cm.
