The Brisa Birk 75 Curly Birch Wood is a folding knife that feels like a Finnish woodsman’s handshake—firm, honest, and built to last. It’s a modern spin on the classic Scandinavian Puukko, packing a 2.95-inch (7.5cm) D2 tool steel blade—satin-finished, Scandi-ground, and razor-sharp out of the box. That steel’s noteworthy—hard at 60-61 HRC, it’ll hold an edge through carving, whittling, or whatever you throw at it, without crying for a strop every five minutes. At 3mm thick, it’s stout but not clumsy, slicing clean with a flick of the wrist.
The handle’s where it shines—curly birch wood, natural and wild, with those gorgeous, wavy grain patterns that catch the light like a frozen river. It’s chamfered flat, sits flush with the stainless liners, and feels like it’s welded to your palm—no slipping, just pure grip. At 4.1 inches (10.5cm) closed and a lean 3.3oz (95g), it’s pocket-sized but punches above its weight. The liner lock’s tight, no wobble, and the bronze washers make the thumb-stud flip silky—snaps open like it’s got a point to prove. Deep-carry clip keeps it low in your jeans, countersunk screws won’t snag, and there’s a lanyard hole if you’re into dangling extras.
This isn’t some flashy gimmick—it’s an indispensable tool with soul. Brisa took the Puukko’s spirit, stuffed it into a folder, and made it look damn good doing it. Perfect for EDC—slitting packages, shaving kindling, or just feeling like a badass on a hike. The curly birch glows with that rugged elegance, and the whole thing’s built to take a licking without begging for a polish. Simple, tough, and ready to roll.
