If you like the Skrama and the jääkäri puukko you should also like the Peltonen, think it´s great :)

Pierre Larsion that’s been in my shopping cart for a long time. Just never pulled the trigger on one

@@MichaelTravis12c27 You should :) Thanks to you I got the Skrama and the Jääkäri, and I´m very thankful and happy for it ;) Best regards from Sweden

@Benny Silin You watch too much KZfaq "marketing" videos on survival and bushcraft channels but you don't have any real experience, in the field, or even better experience, from a real soldier point of view. Marketing tricks, like knife batoning, have sold tons of knives, that eat dust, inside, many backyard Rambos, drawers. This knife son, is the real deal. Doesn't get any better than this. Kydex you mentioned, breaks in cold conditions for example, and becomes unsafe, in hot conditions. G10, is a very heavy material, that most of the times, not only adds unessesery weight, but it also destroes, the knifes balance. I could right for hours, but if you don't go out there to really use a tool, in real conditions, that it was designed for, you will never be able, to bypass, the brainwash, that KZfaq marketing, has done to peoples minds, and you will always beleivve, what the backyard Marketing Rambos said. I know, truth hurts, I've been there...stay safe son..

@Benny Silin I insist, its' all marketing. There are other polymers and plastics, that hold much better, on hursh weather conditions, than kydex does. That's the reason, standard editions on Ka-Bar and on this knife, don't come in kydex. How many soldiers, you saw carring a knife like that while serving? Are you kidding me? It's a store, that sells knives, to the new knife community, that KZfaq has created the later years and tha't... called marketing sir. I never saw a soldier, carring a knife on his belt with dangling system. Modern warfare, isn't a cowboy western hollywood movie. Just my opinion

@Benny Silin I'm really sorry, I apologise. But you know what? It's the era, where people hate the truth. all peoples minds are under control, The bait is the money and the trap is the banks. Their tools that created all this mess, is called TV Programming and nowdays internet. That's why all people hate each other, and there is only "ego" and no real love around. I know, that truth hurts, that's why I apologise.Have a nice day

@@greekveteran2715 couldn’t agree more sir!

Yes. Or a *scandi grind with a secondary bevel,* which is just a longer way of saying the same thing. ;)

@@kaizoebara I don't agree.Scandi is a different grind.This knife is 100% Saber grind.

Definitely. The original model was actually a full flat at 5 mm thick and I think that when he moved production to Laurin Metalli and 4 mm thick 80CrV2 blade stock, he kept the same grind angle as that makes it a very good slicer - but the newer style blade now has a modest shoulder, making it a sabre grind, or 'high flat with secondary bevel'. It cuts very well and chops above its weight, too. (I have the M07 short version, Mk2, by the way, with a leather sheath as the hard plastic one is only available for the longer 150 mm M95 model; I have always wondered why there is no short version of the plastic sheath, which seems to me to be the better one).

You can find M62 bayonets in auctions from time to time, in the range of 150€ to 250€. Bayonets were illegal for general sale in FI until 2003, so the only available domestic copies were the ones given as military course memorabilia in the 1970s. They appear steadily into auctions as that generation's possessions start to circulate. But the original Peltonen made from the bayonet blanks is absolutely unobtainable; I have never seen one except the one I have. Luckily I bought mine from J-P himself at a weapons fair in the 90's :D so I have the whole range from M62 to M95-2015. Of all of them, the original bayonet blank version is the most beautiful blade to my eyes, but I can't bring myself to using it for anything. Too much of a treasure. (The handle is dangerous for any utility use, but you could pop it off and put your own in its place for utility work ;) )
