Peltonen Knives – Pure Nordic Craftmanship. Since 1995.

Peltonen Knives is a brand from Finland inextricably linked with the creator of the knife known in Finnish as Sissipuukko and in English as Ranger Puukko. Juha-Pekka Peltonen (J-P Peltonen), the man in question, is a retired Finnish army soldier who participated in peacekeeping missions in Cyprus, the Sinai Peninsula, and served as a UN peace observer in Lebanon and Kashmir. It was after returning from the mission in Lebanon in 1979 that Peltonen, inspired by the knives used by American soldiers, seriously conceived the idea of creating his own version of the puukko knife.

Combining the traditional Finnish puukko with designs featuring military aesthetics, Peltonen created the ‘sissipuukko,’ i.e., the Ranger Puukko M95, introducing it in 1995 as standard equipment for the Finnish army. A smaller version created in 2007, named Ranger Puukko M07, laid the foundation for a range of knives based for many years on two sizes, meeting the needs of military personnel, hunters, bushcraft enthusiasts, survivalists, campers, and all who spend time in nature. Today’s Peltonen Knives offer a wealth of options in terms of handle colors, blade finishes, and sheath types and colors, accommodating the needs of both right- and left-handed individuals.

The Patch Yesterday and Today

Historically speaking, patches were designed for military purposes. They were attached to jackets, other parts of uniforms, or backpacks. They made it easier to distinguish friend from foe.

Today, patches are very popular in the non-military market, used for identifying and personalizing clothing and personal gear. Almost anyone can get an interesting patch. With a patch, we can easily highlight our hobbies and interests. Patches are popular as a sign of participation in informal associations and groups. Patches distinguish us, making us more visible in our own personal way.

Computerized Embroidery for Maximum Uniformity with Attire

The patch has been crafted using an incredibly detailed computerized embroidery technology. Each shape in the design has been stitched with great precision for this type of technique. Even the smallest elements are very well visible and neatly embroidered. The patch features edging along the edges to reinforce those areas. The entire patch is backed with Velcro hook and loop fasteners, allowing it to be placed on any gear or clothing element featuring soft layer. It is rigid enough to maintain its shape during use yet flexible enough to easily conform, especially to panels located on clothing.

When attached, it protrudes less than PVC patches, it’s thinner, more subtle, but no less durable and simply complements the garment more nicely. Once attached, for example, to a hoodie or shirt, it can stay there permanently, without the need to detach it for laundrying. In fact, it’s even more durable in laundrying than the garment itself. Due to the materials it’s made of, the embroidered patch presents greater uniformity with the materials it’s attached to: clothing, backpacks, waist pouches, passport holders, etc.
