The **Autine Leuku** is a large hand-made outdoor knife. And not just any type of outdoor knife: this is really a beast. Truly an improvement of the traditional Leuku design. Forged by hand in the woods of Latvia.


The blade is made from D2-steel, hardened up to 62HRC. And the heat treatment is something Autine is famous for. You can use amazing steel, but if it isn't hardened properly the entire knife is worthless. Autine's D2 steel retains its sharpness well. Something you can expect from 62HRC. At the same time the blade is tough enough to not break or 'chip'. The blade thickness of 4.9 mm seems a bit excessive. However, because of the properly shaped and nicely polished scandi edge this it feels as if it is a lot thinner. Just above the polished edge the flat par of the blade was kept rough. This is also called *Brut de Forge*. Literally the traces of forging from the manufacturing process.



The handle of the Autine Leuku is made from *curly birch*. This is birch wood with a nice wavy texture. The brass bolster and pommel are a perfect match with the curly birch. The handle looks straight, but is subtly enhanced with a wavy shape at the bottom. Almost invisible to the naked eye. However, when you hold it, it will make quite the difference. These are the details Autine excels at.


The Autine Leuku comes in a leather sheath. It is relatively flexible and will take the shape of the knife after some time.

## Autine by John Neeman.


Autine by John Neeman is John Neeman's baby. This master smith, also known from Neemantools, has years of experience when it comes to forging and creating stunning knives and axes. The best quality, at a custom level.



Please note: because of the handmade character of the knife subtle changes in terms of size and specifications can occasionally occur.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
