Varusteleka (Terävä) Skrama 200 handle scales

The Varusteleka Terävä Skrama 200 (model often listed as Skrama 200, blade length 200 mm) is a mid-sized evolution in the Terävä heavy-duty bush knife series, bridging the compact Skrama 80 and full-size Skrama 240

The Skrama line debuted with the original Skrama Bush Knife (now 240, 240 mm blade) around 2013, inspired by the ancient Scramasax/Seax (Iron Age single-edged blade) and Lapland Leuku—a versatile chopper replacing axes for bushcraft, firewood prep, batoning, and wilderness tasks. Made by Laurin Metalli in Kauhava, Finland, using 80CrV2 carbon steel (59 HRC), full-tang, molded rubber handle, Scandi grind with differential edge (25° near grip for whittling, 34° main for chopping), and leather sheath

Demand for a lighter, more portable option led to the Skrama 200 launch in early 2020 (announced January 2020 via Soldier Systems Daily and Varusteleka; forum posts February 2020 confirm release). Specs: 200 mm (7.85") blade, 350 mm overall, 370 g (13.1 oz) knife weight, 4.2 mm thick, curved spine, flat back (no saw), sturdy TPE/rubber grip, and 80CrV2 steel—ideal when a standard puukko falls short but a machete isn't needed

Variants include stainless (e.g., N690 chef's version), bare tang for custom handles, and double-sheath sets with Skrama 80. Priced affordably (~€80–€100), the Skrama 200 earned praise for balanced chopping power, control, and Finnish craftsmanship—solidifying Terävä's reputation for rugged, purpose-built outdoor tools
