![]() Full tang construction ends with the bare head of the tang sticking out, with a hole for a wrist strap. ![]() The back of the blade is flat, with no saw teeth or whatnot, perfect to beat a piece of wood against when batoning ( Do not use a rock/axe/anything else than wood, it will eventually damage the blade!).

A fine name is always nice and the best ones are those with some history behind them - our 21st-century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Saxon man from "ye good olde days". Much like the Scandinavian Leuku, it doubles up as a tool and defensive implement. Skrama - as in Scramasax or Seax, a big single-edged knife popular in the early Middle Ages. This is naturally no axe, nor a precision tool for extremely meticulous work, but something in between and a solid and dependable companion above all. The Skrama is a versatile heavy-duty bush knife - a tool that builds shelters chops firewood and even carves feather sticks! If you're taking just one knife into the bush the Skrama is a viable option.
