Well, there it is - Peltonen for the win! I have both, and honestly, I would pick the Peltonen all day, any day. I honestly can say that it is, pound for pound and dollar for dollar, the best woods knife out there. I cant say enough how much I like mine. But one thing - I've never owned the leather sheath for either knife. I have the composite fornthe Peltonen and the kydex for the Jääkääri puukko, and the composite sheath for my Peltonen, with that roller thingy, is amazing! Great vid my friend! 🎉🇫🇮🇨🇦
I've tested also the composite sheath and really liked it! Though normally more of a leather guy. Im getting the M07 with that one. Like you said for the money I honestly cant think of a better and more realiable outdoor knife. Thanx for watching, have great week my friend!🇨🇦🇫🇮🌲🔪🌲
Thank you. I don't own jääkäripuukko, Peltonen I bought when I was in army over 20 years ago. Countless use and the knife is still like new (don't forget to oil carbonsteel). I had leather sheath and that didn't last. Please don't buy it. It's widely known that peltonen's belt loops rivet is weak and gets easily broken with time
Fun video. I have the Peltonen knife and the Terava 110, and I like them both. I haven't used either one enough to pick a favorite, but both are great knives. Hello to your daughter from the United States and have a great week.
Thanks for your thoughts on these two well-respected tools. I’ve been considering purchasing one and the opinion of a Finnish outdoorsman is much appreciated. By the way, as a father myself, your daughter’s “help” made me smile.
Thanks to the Chech republic people who makes one of the best guns and knives in the world in terms of quality. The first pistol it was CZ75 which I gave to my uncle as gift and it was great and still is to this day.
Thank you for this very interesting review, and for showing us the Finnish lakes. I live in Scotland, parts of which seem similar to Finland. I have both these knives, and cannot choose between them. I think that I use the Peltonen 07 the most. I very much enjoyed kayaking and campcraft with my little girl, suddenly, she is 40, and I am starting all over again with my Granddaughter. Another one on the way, due November.
Thats really cool! Great gift to your daughter and granddaughter to learn the outdoors. I want to teach my kid the love for nature and outdoors I got from my dad. I love Scotland, been there couple of times. Did also some fly fishing in the 90s there. Thanx for watching my friend!🌲🔪🌲
I'd say that the sissipuukko is better for slicing but the jaakaripuukko is way tougher. JoeX broke the sissipuukko almost immediately and it took him quite awhile to break the jaakaripuukko.
I don't have the peltonen. But I have the 110. And I have the beautiful leather sheath for it. I carry it almost everyday, whether I'm in the woods or not. Sometimes old guys will ask me about it, because they like the look of the sheath. In my experience, the 110 is absolutely wonderful out in the field. And I love the feel of the handle. I first got it when I lived on the summit of a snowy mountain. And used it for 2 years there for all manner of bush tasks. And now, I live in an arid desert. And the wood here is hard as rock. It still is handling business as usual.
I would love ro see a kivalo design teeri update down the road. How is it holding up? is it still one you would grab in your great collection of steep competition?
Thats good idea! Im definitely happy to have it in my collection. I really think the whole Kivalo design is one of the most original new comers to Finnish puukko world. Will most likely get some other one at some point. Thanx for watching, have an enjoyable day!🌲🔪🌲
I still have the old J.P. Peltonen with the flat grind in both sizes. The new one only in the 110 cm blade and is saber grind. I have both Jaakkari puuko's also. They are both pretty similar but I agree with your conclusion. You can see on reviews of the Skrama the rubber handle material is too soft and can come loose. But one thing is for sure. The Finnish sure know how to make knives.
Dang! Now I have to get the Peltonin for my collection! Ha! The Peltonen and Terava will keep each other company! BOTH are great knives, it's like deciding which is your favorite child! Ha! GREAT review! Very close, but the Peltonen takes the win! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together! Love it!
Yeah! Not an easy choice! Almost pains me to pick a winner here. They are BOTH great! And that M95 wins imo. it doesn't take anything away from Jääkäripuukko. Thank you for watching my friend, have a great week!🌲🔪🌲
@@OldForestBushcraft Did they really not update the original model? Well then, I’ll have to try out the other two! By the way, what is the difference between the original, Sissipuukko, and Ranger?
Great video! I have them both and love them equally as much. They both have their strengths, as shown in the video. For general use and for hiking I'll bring the Peltonen, mostly because of the care free nature and protection from the elements that comes with coating. For day hikes when I usually split a lot of wood I usually bring the Terävä, not because the Peltonen can't handle "abuse" but rather I think the Terävä is slightly better at that task. In all honestly I don't have a lot of data to support my opinion and it's more of a feeling and what I'm used to. Thanks for a great video and greetings from Sweden 😎
Thank you! They are indeed both great and it almost pains me to pick the winner here. Over the years I've grown to prefere more the Peltonen. Also tad biased.. Like you I use the Terävä as camp type knives. Have it im my garden shead. Boy is it a work horse. Cant go wrong with either one! Thanx for watching Pierre, and have great week!👍
I made my jaakaripuukko with a scandi grind and a convex edge and it really really bites in wood also carves very good and feathersticks are also very easy.
I wasn’t happy with the way the one I received was ground. The angle was too obtuse. So I reprofiled it on my waterstones into a convex grind, and now the thing is a f’ing light saber. Convex is definitely the way to go on the jaakaripuukko
Actually dont know anymore, at first my thinking was to that it would be better without coating, but I kind of like the look of it now stripped away...
I have the an original Peltonen and was a bit soft, the new edition is better for the upgrades in steel and finish. I also prefer the nylon sheath over the leather as it takes less room up on my belt order; its then quite a slim compact package. Thing is it is more pointy than the Terava making it a better all round hunting woods knife. I also have all the Teravas and no question they are excellent woods knives. If processing wood is your priority then the Terava have it. Elbow deep in muck both will get the work done. I'm a huge fan of the Terava 240 Skrama too.
Im also a fan of Skramas! Have them in all sizes. I will get the M07 pretty soon, and will have it with the composite sheath. Looks good! Thanx for watching, have a great day!
@@OldForestBushcraft For poking about in the dirt then the longer blades are better. Though I have a Terava 110 and thought of getting an M07, they aren't adding anything much. They aren't really fine or short enough to be a wood carving tool, which a much shorter fixed or folder might be. All will do fish, and I prefer something 120 or M95 length for field dressing game if portioning. However, in the cavity when doing a gralloch then many prefer short. Frankly, anything sharp and a bit pointy will do it. Kitchen knives for the larder are best for finished produce presentation. These are the knives to have once getting past Moras. Also, for those who want to do some work but don't want to wreck their fancy blades. Everyday is a great day. Its all fun, and knife stuff some of the best. ATB
I have a secret lake that I go to sometimes (secret is it is surrounded by hikeing trails but nobody but me ever seems to go there). There is an old sunken boat there. I think the biggest fish in the lake is a 5 cm ahven 🤣. I also prefer the Sissipuukko, nicer handle, nicer grind and the sheath is absolutely fantastic. I do think however that the Jääkäri seems a little more robust. I also don't think I could break a sissipuukko if I tried😂. Awesome video mate. It's cold and windy here today. I can't believe I used to live in Spain. Those temperatures would kill me now.
Have to say, this lake doesnt have the best stock if fishes, but still I go there, love the lake anyways. Nobody goes there.. and I have my peace. But man you have such a great fishing places there, Im envious. Thanx for watching my friend, have a great day!
Have you BTW used the m62 bayonet shaped Peltonen knife? That was the knife we used/bought in my military unit in 1994. And the only Peltonen I have used.
I have that one in my collection. But havent really used it. I used also the old Peltonen with full flat grind, and higher blade. Was a nice one also. Thanx for watching!
Hi there, I think I have to buy one of these knifes. Two of my frinds have the Terävä puukko, but after watching your videos I think I will go for the Peltonen. By the way, why do you know german? Im actually from Germany :)
Die sind beide grossartige Messern. Aber ich mag am ende Peltonen mehr:). Mein vater war von Deutscher Herkunft, und ich habe ein bisschen die Sprache von ihm gelernt. Wir waren auch super viel in Deutschland in meiner Kindheit. Mein Vater arbeitete da. Finnisch und Deutsche Sprache sind die wichtigsten für mich. Danke für's Zuschauen, und hab einen schönen Tag!🇫🇮🇩🇪
I have had to fight with my inner self about buying a production company knife of this magnitude and/or its little brother. Not exactly happy that I defeated the inner me with a compromise. I will make a small knife that will maybe look somewhat like the M23. I will use a 80mm Laurie Martellie blade and shape the handle out of brass or antler and birch bark. The inner self is happy with my idea, but we both prefer hand forged.blades by real blacksmiths not computer generated and stamped out like cookie blades.
I like your style! Have to be honest I'm pretty much a traditionalist my self. Wooden hadles, and leather sheats are the way to go. Actually just visited a medieval museum in Turku, and there was a Puukko from the 1300 hundreds, and the wooden handle was still kind of ok. Amazing. Thx for watching my friend, have a great day!
Morakniv has way better quality and preformance, compared to the worst knife I ever had (Jaakari Pukko). Worst and uneven grinds I've ever seen, failed heat tretment (no matter what edge I tried (all convexed too, the edge chipped like crazy,even with the lightest use, it also got dull in the first couple of minutes of use, so it wasn't the steel hard and got sao many chips, but because of a completely failed heat treatment. Handle also moved back and forth, and I had to glue it. Sheath chiped after first use, it got a hole on the middle part of the leather,so leather is also cheap and thin in the same time. Should I cointinue? Even if you didn't get a Jaakari puuko with a bad heat treatment, all you who praise it,you should question your knowledge on knives.You either have little or no knowledge or experience. The 4mm blade with the edge bevel geoemtry it comes with, is a joke too. Even a Mora Robust works better, I'd suggest the Bushcraftt Black over Jaakari Puuko. WAY better knife,from any point of view.Even it's sheath and handle work better, and never failed on anything I throw at it. PS Also, If these knives are fantastic, what TRC Mille Cuori is? Only Pentloten is ok of the 2 and it still is far behind "fantastic" level of knives.
Finally someone who talks sense, I've had this argument with so many in different TH-cam channels, the heat treat is awful, the one I received the grinds couldn't have been anymore uneven, how anyone can compare one to a Mora is beyond me, Every knife mora makes is better than this junk.
@@TheDavewatts That's because Youtbers know little about knives,they just "sell" videos to make money. I hate to say,that it would be better if it was made in China. Even the handle is not glued at all... Sheath on mine worked fine,but it got damaged from the first use.It's probably made with poor quality and thin leather.That's still the only good part about that knife. I sanded down the handle (a bit on the top and way more on the bottom,which improved the ergos) but I couldn't live with the heat treatment, it kept chiping with normal use no matter what edge I tried. I gave it 3 reprofiles, steel kept chiping a lot and so easy.Never had that,with any othe scandi edge,even with zero scandi on cheaper knives...
To add to my first comment, ALL new mass produced knives, must be sharpened, at least once, before first use. Most of them, also need reprofiling. Also, the steels on mass produced knives, in most if not all cases, comes "burnt; from the factory belts they use to create the edge bevels. That means, for the steel to show it's true potential and not chip or roll it's edge with noprmal use, these knives need at least 2 to 3 full sharprenig sessions, to reach that "proper" level. PS I repair/sharpen knives professionaly, since the 90's where I also got my first degree in Chemistry/Metallurgy. So give me a break to all those who have little to no knowledge on knives. I owned thousands, tested hundreds and I've limmeted my collection, to 580 fixed blades the last 2 years.I own anything from custom to Semi-custom, like TRC knives, LT Wright, Bark River, Fallkniven and so on, down to all Morakniv and Ka-Bar models etc.
@@RichardBarnes-nb6nz Imagine a 1095 on Stereoids. Good old low alloy carbon steel.That's what Silver Steel is. Forged custom knives, usually come with a great heat treatment,so do not expect it to perform as your common 1095 mass produced knives, it will be harder than them. It supports thin edges, better than soft stainless like Sandvik 12c27 etc which are tougher, but don't have the strength,that the low alloy (carbon steels) have. Don't expect any serious carbides like on modern PM steels either. Just a simple steel, ideal for scandi grinds,that's why they use it on those traditional knives.
Well f.e my Tommi Puukko by Risto Mikkonen has it. And it has been a real pleasure to use, takes a wicked edge, and helds it really good. Quite easy to sharpen as well. Sp pretty much nothing to complain. Ideal for wood work.
Well, there it is - Peltonen for the win! I have both, and honestly, I would pick the Peltonen all day, any day. I honestly can say that it is, pound for pound and dollar for dollar, the best woods knife out there. I cant say enough how much I like mine.

PS I repair/sharpen knives professionaly, since the 90's where I also got my first degree in Chemistry/Metallurgy. So give me a break to all those who have little to no knowledge on knives. I owned thousands, tested hundreds and I've limmeted my collection, to 580 fixed blades the last 2 years.I own anything from custom to Semi-custom, like TRC knives, LT Wright, Bark River, Fallkniven and so on, down to all Morakniv and Ka-Bar models etc.
What do you think of the hand forged silver steel that some of the famous Puukko smiths use for their blades?
@@RichardBarnes-nb6nz Imagine a 1095 on Stereoids. Good old low alloy carbon steel.That's what Silver Steel is. Forged custom knives, usually come with a great heat treatment,so do not expect it to perform as your common 1095 mass produced knives, it will be harder than them. It supports thin edges, better than soft stainless like Sandvik 12c27 etc which are tougher, but don't have the strength,that the low alloy (carbon steels) have. Don't expect any serious carbides like on modern PM steels either. Just a simple steel, ideal for scandi grinds,that's why they use it on those traditional knives.
Well f.e my Tommi Puukko by Risto Mikkonen has it. And it has been a real pleasure to use, takes a wicked edge, and helds it really good. Quite easy to sharpen as well. Sp pretty much nothing to complain. Ideal for wood work.
Scandi grinds suck
