Raw soup or marrow bones work great. Knuckle bones are also an option and provide hours of chewing happiness. Is there a butcher nearby that could maybe set these aside for you?

You can go to the store and buy some soup bones for your pup 
If you go to a pet store, you can buy sterilized bones, and stuff them with things, or give them out plain.
After a couple minutes of them chewing on the other item, I approach the dog say, "Give" and trade back the original item. Lather rinse repeat over a couple of days, the problem will diminish quickly.
I don't even know how often my dogs get them....generally they chew all the meat off and are allowed to keep the bone (and it is clean, clean, CLEAN) until a piece splinters, and then I chuck it.

Relatively so. It's a high value item. To correct this, I simply present the dog with something of equal value, tell the dog to "Give" the other item while I replace it with the new item, and praise the dog.

Depends on where you're located and the size of the bone
You can, but I generally don't recommend it.
The good ones have meat, blood, and gristle xD
Never be sorry for trying to educate yourself

Although I doubt a puppy would chew hard enough to do so, some very aggressive chewers have been known to break teeth on harder (primarily beef) bones, which happen to be the weight-bearing bones. Just wanted to mention it as a general precaution.

Indeed I did not know that Skelaki
My dogs get the smaller soup bones when we go raw, otherwise I buy sterilized bones and flavored Nylabones.
If I get knuckle bones they HAVE to be fresh from the butcher....pet store ones are HORRIBLY greasy and make my dogs very sick.
