What's a Puukko? The Peltonen M95 Finnish Military Field Knife Review

[@DerSlash]

I got the slightly shorter Peltonen M07 in January and it has since become my favorite knife. High quality, robust and easy to sharpen. Knives from Finland like the Peltonen M07 and M95, the Terävä Jääkäripuukko or the large Terävä Skrama are made for hard use, perfect one tool options!

[@lalli8152]

I personally think the Peltonen as slightly better over jääkäripuukko, but thats mainly just personal preference thing. Funnily i think jääkäripuukko was designed based on sissipuukko because they were often out of stock

[@pupper5580]

I have owned M95 for 10 years, I've only sharpened it once while in the army (10 years ago), and it is still too sharp for my needs. Also, the knife is still in pristine condition. I would not want to go through army (or a war) without this knife. Definitely a must have knife for myself.

Greetings from Finland, I have the original M95 with leather sheet bought in 1995 when doing my military service (then black and leather sheet was the only option). Small chip of the tip broke off after dropping to concrete floor during excercise. I dont cut food with it as the knife has been used to ration hexogen. It is a good knife, made to last and easy to keep sharp.

Packed a knife for the first day of military service and the military police said good job as you literally need it on the first day. Some other army companies will take your knife from you if you take it with you on the first day. The knife was my fathers old puukko which has a wooden handle and a leather holster. The wood didnt crack and the leather survived in very good condition through winter, rain and the hot sun

The early version has a rounded spine, full flat grind with a leather sheath. The rubber wheel is a rubber grommet for running wire through which is pure genius! Hook your thumb over the sheath to pull it back into the sheath instead of pushing works very well. This knife inspires confidence!

[@Hosenfuhrer]

I remember I had to order the black versions of these when we were in the NCO school. I had mine razor sharp, sharpened by my father. One time during training in the woods, the LT was trying to open a bag of beef jerky, but couldn't get it open for some reason. I offered him my knife, he took it, sliced the bag open and said something like "...that's a sharp knife". After the service, this knife has served me in moose hunting, or the aftermath, since the blade is so thick and long, it can easily go through a moose sternum.

[@greekveteran2715]

Nice video as always! PS 2 mistakes I often see done, by many KZbinrs. No1,that's not feathersticking...what's demonstrated here,is simply cutting wood.Fethersticks are something very different, a part of a technique that helps start a fire. No2, Amount of Carbon on a steel, has nothing to do when scraping a ferro rod, it only takes a sharp edge to do that.That means, that you can scrape a ferro rod, with a piece of glass or anything hard but most importantly sharp. What makes people get confused with that, is the technique where we can use a hard rock in an emergency, to hit the spine of a Low alloy (Carbon steel) blade, in order to create a spark,that can be used with different techniques to create fire. That though, is sonething completely different, with the use of ferro rods.

Hello from Finland. Used the m95 ”sissi”puukko while I served. Best knife for a recconance scout we could make everything we needed while on the field with the m95 (firewood,stakes) and cut quite thick willows or other trees for rafts etc. I would reccomend the m95. 1/16 KaiPr

[@radialrothary]

A small correction, I don't think they're actually used by the Finnish military in any official capacity, because the Finnish military does not issue knives in the first place (apart from the few exceptions I mention further down). Their argument is that since puukko is such a personal item, they prefer you bring your own. The Sissipuukko website does offer purchasing them as so called kurssipuukkos (course-puukkos) for NCO or reserve officer courses (basically a bulk purchase of custom memento puukkos), but this not unique to this company (which isn't even the most popular company for kurssipuukkos) and is something the conscripts have to take care of themselves and again is not an official thing by the military. In our case the guy whose responsibility it was forgot to take care of it, so we never got any. The only official Finnish military knife I'm aware of is the Finnish M62 bayonet, which fits on the RK62 assault rifle and is basically a puukko on its own, but hasn't been standard issue for decades and is generally only seen on the chromed RK62s of the conscript band rifle showteam. The Defence Forces has also acquired a small number of German Eickhorn KCB 77s for display purposes with the RK95TP assault rifles, primarily for the sentry duty at the presidential palace. The M62 and KCB 77 remain the only knives featured on the 2024 edition of the Soldier's Hand Book. In short, it is a puukko designed by a Finnish military officer primarily for military use that some conscripts bring with them to the military (personally I never saw a single one, but then again very few people actually even brought a knife of their own, which is why I think the Defence Forces should probably rethink their "just bring your own" knife policy) and some might acquire as a kurssipuukko, but it is not and has never been officially issued by the military.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

It is a money issue. FDF do not want to spend money on htem. Nowadays most people don't have knives (mostly because it is illegal to carry without proper reasons). Some have blade shaped objects, but a real knife is a rarity.

[@radialrothary]

@@XtreeM_FaiL I don't think its a money issue when the FDF issued us with 3€ foldable plastic cups no one ever found any use for (since we already had mess kits) while the Mora knives at the canteen cost 2€.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@radialrothary Good knives cost bit more than 2€ and conscripts would spend hours looking for lost knives.

[@radialrothary]

@@XtreeM_FaiL But the knives they actually tell people to buy, if they haven't brought their own, are the said 2€ moras sold at the canteen, which could (as issue items) be given the same treatment the plastic cups get: its yours to keep and we don't care if you break or lose it, just buy a new one from the canteen. The problem with them not being issue items is that few people actually bother buying one despite often needing a knife. I've had to lend my knife to people in my squad more often that I care to count, each time reminding them they should just buy one at the canteen, but no. Simply issuing a cheap mora instead of the plastic cup would solve the issue while actually saving money. My own guess would be that it's more the not-as-realistic-anymore expectation of people bringing their own beloved personal puukko that they surely have (which was the written reason in our case), combined with the FDF probably generally considering it a non-issue (which it indeed kinda is on paper, less so in practice), probably in large part thanks to the aforementioned point & the provided opportunity of just buying a cheap mora if you don't have a knife of your own.

[@mikhailarutyunyan4126]

I have a question. How they avoid that the knive cut that rubber thing over time? Does not seem a durable design

[@salonen5]

This is done by design. The way the blabe fits and slides in and out from the sheath minimizes this, it's a matter of geometry. You'll also feel immediately if the blade tries to move somewhere it shouldn't while sheathing. The rubber wheel itself is shaped, it has a groove in a middle which has atleast two functionings, to minimize the cutting strain and make the wheel change shape so that it balances the strenght of the locking and the force needed to open it. It's a bit hard for me to explain verbally but if you ever see one You'll understand what I'm trying to say :D. The system is really sturdy - mine has lasted for 18years and it's as good as new when it comes to functioning. I have the black flat grinded version ( I also think that the blade is a bit longer than in the version shown in the video) with black leather sheath. Get one and It will last at least to your grandchildren.

The shape, the construction, the materials, the overall look are far removed from the traditional puukko. It's definitely still a puukko, just not easily recognized as one.

A puukko is anything but a fighting knife. The lack of any finger guard makes sense for a utility blade, making it easy to to get the angles right right for e.g. whittling. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a puukko than nothing in hand to hand combat. Probably I'd have a bayonet or a sharpened entrenching tool, but a puukko is always there.

You might want to read some finnish military history, just a plain ol' puukko was very well utilized in combat. Many soldiers carried normal puukko's with slightly larger blades 12 to 15 centimeters were the so called normal puukko has an 10cm or 4 inch blade. Many soviets got offed with puukko. The modern day finnish don't even know how to use a puukko today for the most part but 100 years ago it was dangling from every mans belt basically and they had skill to use it.

@@Oozy9Millimeetah Please don't accuse me of being ignorant of Finnish military history. The puukko is a basic tool for everything involving cutting or whittling, and carrying one in public won't raise an eyebrow. Sure, the Finns were masters at making the things at hand work for combat. I feel for modern times something more specialized may be called for.

is it full tang?

[@Hellsong89]

As mentioned yes, even though its hidden inside the handle.

What do you think of this knife compared to say a Mora Garberg? ✌️🇺🇸

[@juhanaliesjarvi9139]

It's mora on steroids and meets military stantards, tbh try it and you'll see the difference, it is from another world realy

[@AlessandraAndersson]

Reminds me of the Swedish Mora knife system

I like this knife a lot! But most likely I will buy its little brother m 07. Since in Germany you can't walk a knife more than 12 cm on the street. Even if one goes camping, in the woods and the police find a knife in my possession, it is a crime. 11.9cm - no problem, axe - no problem). I don't know, it's like not liking a woman when you like another woman. But maybe the m07 isn't so bad either?
