Products from Peltonen Knives

Peltonen Knives is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality knives that has its origins in the vast plains of the Middle East to the dense forests of Finland. Founded by Finnish military observer Juha-Pekka Peltonen, the idea for these exceptional knives was born amidst the searing heat of southern Lebanon and has since adapted to the harshest conditions of the north.

The centrepiece of their collection, the Sissipuukko or ranger knife, was developed with functionality as the top priority. It serves not only as an indispensable tool for professionals, but also as a trusted companion for quality-conscious hunters and adventurers.

The so-called Sissipuukko by Peltonen Knives impresses with its robust rubber handle and a well thought-out sheath that has made it a firm favourite among those who need a durable and straightforward knife. The special sheath features a secure and silent rubber roller that holds the knife securely in place and allows it to be worn upside down on an equipment belt. The blade of this masterpiece is specially designed for real-world use and is easy to sharpen while retaining its cutting ability superbly. In addition, the blade is also great for splitting firewood, making it a versatile companion in the wilderness.

Juha-Pekka Peltonen drew inspiration for founding Peltonen Knives from his time as a military observer in Lebanon. There, in 1979, he saw US service knives that made a lasting impression on him. Another crucial motivation was a conversation with a Finnish lieutenant colonel stationed in the harsh conditions of northern Finland, who emphasised the urgent need for a new knife. A knife that combined a robust structure with military practicality and had all the features you would expect from a wilderness knife in Nordic conditions. Peltonen Knives' Sissipuukko is the result of a long development process and proudly boasts NATO certification. It is highly regarded by professionals, hikers and bushcraft enthusiasts alike.

Peltonen Knives, with its exquisite Sissipuukko, embodies the tradition and practicality of Finnish craftsmanship. Their knives are not only reliable tools, but also symbols of perseverance and the pursuit of perfection, born in the harsh environments of the North.
