Description

TOPS Tanimboca Puukko has been a big success since it was made available in 2017. So, it was only fitting that when Goran approached TOPS about making a mini version, they were interested. The Mini Tanimboca Puukko is a great tool for making bushcraft items (utensils, kuksa, baskets, blow guns, etc. are all things that Goran had in mind with this), whittling around the fire, and even accomplishing some EDC uses.

This knife is smaller than most and has no guard (so use caution). The knife can be held close to the cutting edge and in multiple grips. If you like making things with your hands especially in the woods, this knife is going to be a must-have. It has the classic Puukko look, but in a much, much smaller package. The spine is ground to 90 degrees for scraping tasks. Well-rounded Black Canvas Micarta handles make the handle comfortable despite its size. The brown leather sheath is set up for a tip-down neck carry, but also has a loop that will fit most belts.

The Mini Tanimboca Puukko was designed by Goran Mihajlovic, who also designed the original one made by TOPS. Goran is originally from Serbia but grew up in Germany. He has lived in Colombia now for many years. He owns a nature reserve called Tanimboca that houses hundreds if not thousands of species of plant, animal, and insect. 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 large variety of cutting tasks.

    Impossible to sharpen

    Posted by Matthew Sutcliffe on 27th Sep 2023

    I’ve pretty much given up on this now, it lost its edge and since then, I’ve tried stropping, then I put a convex on with my Ken Onion but I just can’t get a razor, hair popping edge on it. I can on my many other knives though. I’m not sure if it’s the angle or if the steel is very hard (but I’ve no problem with 3V, S45VN etc.). I’m going to get rid of the convex and use my Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System and try a 25° or maybe 20° edge on it because I can’t give up entirely. It’s a very nicely made little knife, so is the sheath. Looking at it, it is quite a thick blade and the main bevel is not at all high, meaning that the edge angle must be pretty damn obtuse. My problem is also, there’s not much metal to go at, I’ve already taken maybe half a mil off.

    Perfect small knife - TOPS MINI TANIMBOCCA PUUKKO

    Posted by Stephen on 20th Sep 2023

    For those times that you want the security of a fixed blade, but the size of a small pocket knife. This is the type of knife that you constantly come up with Jobs to use it, just for the joy of seeing it doing a good job. Very quickly has become one of my favourite Go To solutions.
