Description
The Procat puukko knife, chisel model, is designed to meet the challenges of demanding construction and installation work, where you need both a cutting blade and the ability of a chisel to remove material efficiently. This tool combines the versatility of a traditional puukko knife with the durability of a chisel, which makes it an essential part of the toolbox, especially in timber construction and renovation projects.
The blade of the product is made of high-quality carbon steel, precisely ground to the optimal angle. The tip of the blade is shaped as a straight chisel, which allows precise recesses, for example when fitting hinges or locks. The thickness and hardening of the blade are optimised to withstand the twisting and impacts typical of chiselling work.
The ergonomic handle is designed to offer maximum grip and safety in all conditions. The handle material is chosen to absorb impacts and reduce hand fatigue during long use. The shape of the handle protects your fingers from slipping onto the blade, which is a critical safety factor in work stages that require force.
The tool comes with a durable plastic sheath that protects the blade and the user during transport and storage. The sheath has a practical belt loop, so the tool is always within easy reach. The shape of the sheath ensures that the knife stays firmly in place even during mobile work, yet it can still be drawn with one hand.
Intended use:
- Woodworking and installation: The product is primarily designed for shaping and finishing wood materials on installation jobs. It is excellent, for example, for fitting door and window frames where precise material removal is needed in tight spots. The chisel tip allows straight, clean cuts across the grain of the wood, which is difficult with a traditional puukko knife. The tool can also be used for precise working of plasterboard and other building boards.
- Renovation and demolition: In renovation projects, the chisel knife is an excellent tool for removing old trims, glue residue or other fixings. Its durable construction allows light striking, for example with a hammer or the palm of the hand, so that the blade can be driven between even tight joints. This makes it more versatile than a traditional fine joinery chisel, which may be damaged in rougher use.

Procat puukko knife, chisel model, instructions for use:
Always use the chisel knife in a controlled way. When using the product as a chisel, make sure the workpiece is firmly clamped. Guide the blade with your other hand and use light blows on the end of the handle if needed. Do not use the tool as a lever with extreme force, so that the blade does not break. Maintain the blade regularly by sharpening it to the original angle with a whetstone or diamond file. Clean and dry the blade after use, and apply a thin layer of oil to the carbon steel surface to prevent corrosion if the tool will not be used for a long time.
Warnings:
- The blade is extremely sharp; handle with care to avoid cuts.
- Do not use the tool near live electrical parts, as the handle is not electrically insulated.
- Always wear safety glasses when striking the tool with a hammer or other striking tool.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not use a damaged tool or one with a loose handle.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Can this knife be struck with a hammer?
Yes, the Procat chisel knife is designed to withstand light blows on the end of the handle, which helps the chisel penetrate the material.
How does a carbon steel blade differ from stainless steel?
Carbon steel is easier to sharpen to a very keen edge and holds its edge well in woodworking, but it needs drying and oiling to prevent rust.
Is this suitable for electricians?
The tool is well suited to making cable channels or recesses in wood, but it is not voltage-protected (VDE-approved), so it must not be used on live parts.
Recycling instructions:
The blade must be recycled in metal collection. Sort the plastic handle and sheath into plastic collection or energy waste according to local regulations. Recycle packaging materials (such as cardboard) in carton collection.
