Description
The Procat puukko knife with rubber handle is a general-purpose tool designed for mechanical working, cutting and carving. The overall length of the product is 220 mm, the width 50 mm and the thickness 20 mm, which makes it optimal for routine cutting tasks. The total weight of the knife is 92 g, which allows long periods of use without significant static strain.
The blade is firmly fixed to a rubber-coated handle that guarantees a numerically higher coefficient of friction than traditional smooth plastic handles. The rubber material reduces the risk of slipping when working in damp conditions or wearing protective gloves. The ergonomically sized handle geometry spreads the grip force evenly, which improves control of the cut in installation work.
The end of the handle is completely flat and designed for direct force transmission. This allows the tool to be tapped safely and lightly with a hammer, for example when wedging or rough chiselling. The direct striking force is directed along the long axis of the blade, so the structural stress is spread evenly without the risk of the handle breaking.
The tool comes with a storage sheath that protects against mechanical wear. The sheath has an integrated belt clip that allows direct attachment to work clothing without separate fitting kits. The construction includes a hanging hole that allows the tool to be stored on pegboards at workstations. The standard delivery does not include separate retail packaging; the product is supplied ready to use.
Intended use and suitability:
The mechanical properties of the Procat puukko knife make it a versatile tool for various physical installation and dismantling tasks. The tool is optimised to withstand impacts and to offer a secure grip in varying industrial conditions.
- Installation and dismantling work: Suitable for shaping and cutting timber, plasterboard and soft building materials. The flat end of the handle allows the knife to be used with hammer assistance where light chiselling is needed.
- Logistics and storage: The blade allows quick cutting of packaging materials, plastic films and strapping. The rubber handle keeps the tool under control even in environments with dust or moisture.
- General maintenance: Works as a basic cutter when fitting hoses and cables. The compact 92 g weight and the belt clip on the sheath ensure that the tool can be carried seamlessly between tasks.

Procat puukko knife with rubber handle instructions for use:
Using the tool safely requires correct technique and the use of protective equipment. Follow these steps to get the best cutting performance and avoid mechanical damage:
- Getting started: Remove the knife from the sheath by pulling it straight out. Check the mechanical bond between the blade and the handle.
- Cutting: Grip the rubber handle firmly. Bring the blade to the material and always make the cutting stroke away from your own body.
- Hammer-assisted use: Place the blade at the required angle on the workpiece. Only strike the flat end of the handle with the hammer. Do not strike the sides of the handle.
- Storage: Clean dirt off the tool. Push the knife back into the sheath until it locks mechanically in place. Attach the sheath to your equipment with the belt clip.
Warnings:
Note the following mechanical risks and hazards when using the product:
- Risk of cuts: The blade is industrially sharpened. Bare skin contact with the blade causes an immediate, serious cut.
- Risk of eye injury when striking: When hammering the end of the handle, high-speed fragments can come off the tool or the material being worked. Always wear standard safety glasses.
- Reduced friction: Although the handle is rubber-coated, liquid oils and industrial solvents can critically reduce the friction coefficient of the rubber, causing a risk of slipping.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- Can the handle of the Procat puukko knife be struck with a metal hammer? Yes. The end of the knife handle is flat and designed to take light mechanical blows, for example in installation and fitting work.
- How is the storage sheath attached to clothing? The sheath has a mechanical belt clip that slides over belts or trouser waistbands and locks in place by friction.
- Does the tool have separate retail packaging? No. The product is supplied ready to use without individual packaging in outer boxes (100 pcs). The sheath has an integrated hanging hole for standardised storage or shop display.
Recycling instructions:
At the end of the product’s life, the materials must be sorted properly. Separate the metal blade and recycle it in metal collection. Sort the rubber-coated handle and the protective sheath into the combustible waste or mixed waste fraction according to local waste management regulations. The tool contains no electronic components.
