The result was the sissipuukko, or ranger puukko, which combined the traditional Finnish belt knife with the toughness of a military blade. Peltonen introduced the M95 in 1995 as standard equipment for the Finnish army. The M07 is its shorter, handier sibling, built on the same pattern but sized for everyday outdoor carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBare Carbon Steel, Built Thick\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blade is made at the Laurin Metalli workshop in Kauhava, Finland, from 80CrV2 carbon steel hardened to about 59 HRC. At roughly 0.17\" thick, it is noticeably beefier than most Nordic puukkos, and its 23° saber grind gives it a strong, easily maintained edge. With no coating, the steel will gradually darken into a gray patina with use, which many owners prefer, and it should be dried after each use and wiped with a thin film of salt-free oil. The TPE handle has a rubber-like grip that stays secure with wet or cold hands, and the tang runs close beneath the handle surface for strength. The polypropylene EasyLock sheath holds the knife firmly yet releases with one hand, works for left or right-handed carry, and mounts on a belt or MOLLE webbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAround the Fire and in the Field\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHunters use the Ranger Puukko to process game, and campers rely on it for carving feather sticks to start fires and whittling roasting skewers around the campfire. The thick blade and secure grip also make it a good fit for batoning small kindling and general camp chores where a thin Scandinavian knife might feel fragile. The uncoated finish appeals to bushcrafters who want to sharpen and maintain their own blade without worrying about scratching a coating. At around $100, it offers Finnish-made carbon steel and a military-proven sheath design for less than many comparable European outdoor knives.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peltonen Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67109893275889,"sku":"67109893275889","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/M05_FJP_146.jpg?v=1790959128","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/peltonen-knives-m07-pukko-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
