Innovation and Tradition: The Pillars of Peltonen Knives
Juha-Pekka Peltonen, the mind and soul behind the creation of Peltonen knives, has spent years in extreme conditions, from the heat of South Lebanon to the cold lands of the North, developing equipment that meets the most demanding needs for quality and functionality.
This experience has led to the creation of knives that are not just precision tools but true life companions for those who own them.
Outstanding Technical Specifications

Precise Hardening and Sharpening: M07 and M95 boast uniform tempering at Rockwell HRC 59, while the M23 features an inductively hardened edge at Rockwell HRC 62, ensuring precise and lasting sharpness.
Innovative Coatings: Available with or without coating, the M95 and M07 models offer options in PTFE or Cerakote for enhanced protection and reduced friction.
A Journey Through History: The Evolution of Peltonen Knives
The journey of Peltonen Knives began in 1979 when inspiration struck Juha-Pekka Peltonen during a mission in Lebanon. Encountering an American service knife prompted him to create a knife that combined the ideal weight, manageability, and perfect balance, suitable for the rugged Finnish conditions. From this vision, the legendary Ranger Puukko M95 was born, followed by the M07 and the more recent M23, each designed to meet the specific needs of military personnel, hunters, explorers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
