TOTPUK01RMT: Tanimboca Puukko

TOPS Knives

Puukkos are a style of knife originally developed in Scandinavia. Through the years, they have remained largely unchanged. Characteristically, they are Scandi ground knives with thick, round wooden handles. Most do not have a finger guard, which allows the person using it to get their hand as close to the cutting edge as possible. This gives the user precise and controlled cutting. Its simplistic design is both useful and intuitive and has definitely withstood the test of time.

To make the Tanimboca Puukko, TOPS has teamed up with Goran Mihajlovic. Goran is originally from Serbia but grew up in Germany. He has lived in Colombia now for the last 20+ years. He owns a nature reserve called Tanimboca that houses hundreds if not thousands of species of plants, animals, and insects. Throughout his entire life, he has been a knife user and enthusiast. In recent years he has begun making knives at his forge in the Amazon jungle. He prefers Puukkos for their ability to perform well at a large variety of cutting tasks.

The TOPS version of his design mixes traditional elements with TOPS' style. It has the classic Puukko blade with a very slight clip point. The spine is ground to 90 degrees for scraping tasks. Well-rounded tan canvas Micarta handles with red liners honor the traditional style. The knife sits deep in the leather sheath. Add a breakaway chain or paracord and it can easily be worn as a neck knife when needed. Once you get your hands on Tanimboca Puukko, you won't want to put it down.

Cons: None
Best 3.5-4" fixed blade ever. Just buy one.
After 40 years carrying, using, co-designing a broad variety of great blades by blade masters such as Phil Hartsfield, Bladerigger, RJ Martin, Dedyukhin & others over 40 years I can now say the TOPS Tanimboka is arguably the most useful, easy in the hand, versatile knife I can imagine for its approx 3.5-4" size & design intent. This blade fits so, so easily in the hand, every square inch of the knife of it can be used, adapted to almost any basic task with ease. In a world of kydex I now prefer leather or kydex/leather sheaths to keep them quiet. The sheath for this knife is absolutely perfect and very well made from excellent leather. The Tanimboka is simple, works equally well with ANY hand grip, the 1095 steel excellent, easy to sharpen and the grind just wonderful to use. One can baton  this knife or perform minor fine/surgerical tasks & can prepare slice/food with ease. The round bow-divets sin the handle double as a thumb reference for quickly deploying reverse or forward grips. Just a brilliant, brilliant blade/sheath for a very fair price. I rate this Tanimboka the best of best of the non-traditional Puukka designs offered brands such as Spyderco, Benchmade, etc. The Tanimboka takes over when my Spyderco Para 3 folder falls short. I strongly recommend this knife to anyone seeking an incredibly robust, useful 35-4" blade. For the paltry sum asking price this knife is a no-brainer for a killer EDC that has no negatives IMHO.
