Peltonen M95 Ranger Puukko Survival Knife Kydex Sheath Coyote FJP023

My evaluation and experience

I had the Peltonen M95 with me on several tours and it has proven to be very functional. When chopping firewood and batoning, the drop point blade turned out to be extremely resistant and efficient.

Preparing food was also no problem. I especially like the robustness when prying - a task where many other knives could fail or get damaged.

The Peltonen M95 is based on a long tradition of Finnish knife craftsmanship. Finland has a rich history of producing high-quality knives designed for everyday use as well as specialized tasks like wilderness survival.

The Peltonen brand is known for its dedication to quality and innovation, reflected in the development of the M95 survival knife. This knife combines modern materials and technologies to create a tool that meets the demands of outdoor adventures.

Technical data of the Peltonen M95 survival knife:

• Blade material: High-quality steel (80CrV2 carbon steel) known for its durability and sharpness. This material ensures that the blade (4.3 mm thick) remains sharp even with intensive use and can be easily sharpened.
• Blade length: Ideally sized at 15 cm for a wide range of tasks, especially for heavier work like chopping wood. Overall length 27.3 cm. Blade with PTFE coating.
• Handle: Ergonomically designed for a secure and comfortable grip, even when wet or wearing gloves. The rubberized TPE material also provides good grip. There is a hole at the end of the handle for a lanyard.

Customer opinions often reflect my impressions. Many appreciate the durability and the simple, yet effective design of the Peltonen M95.

The quality of the 80CrV2 carbon steel and the thoughtful balance between handle and blade are particularly highlighted.

However, some note that the knife might be too challenging for beginners or those with low hand strength. But in the community of Bushcrafters and survival fans, it is considered a great tool that fits perfectly in the survival equipment.
