About Peltonen Knives
Finland has a unique knife culture and strong traditions in knife manufacturing. Finnish knife makers are rare because the craft requires special artisanal skills and a deep understanding, particularly in the handling of carbon steel. For over a decade, Peltonen Knives blades have been handcrafted by Finnish artisans at the Laurin Metalli workshop, which was founded in Kauhava in 1918.

A good knife must not only be safe and durable but also easy to maintain and keep clean, as well as sit securely in the hand and have an ergonomic shape. Peltonen knives embody all these features, combining ergonomics, functionality, and above all, safety. Our knives are among the best in the world as they are both durable and adaptable to various needs and purposes. They are carefully designed and manufactured based on real experience, constantly being refined and improved.

The Ranger Cub is an authentic Finnish design, developed and tested by professionals.

The sheath is half the knife
Great attention has been paid to the design of Peltonen knife sheaths. J-P Peltonen has designed them to be durable, versatile, and safe. Made in the traditional Finnish style, the knife's leather sheath represents genuine Nordic craftsmanship. Alternatively, composite plastic sheaths offer a more modern material that is lightweight and easy to maintain. A third material used is Kydex, which is equally durable, lightweight, and low-maintenance, and is available in various colors and camouflage patterns.

Coatings provide protection and simplify maintenance
We manufacture Peltonen knives with coated and uncoated blades, each selected for different purposes. Coating options include PTFE Teflon and Cerakote. The Teflon coating requires minimal maintenance, is wear-resistant, and is approved for food use. In contrast, the Cerakote coating offers excellent corrosion protection and allows for the use of colors. An uncoated blade represents a very traditional Finnish blade finish and requires the most care. A knife should always be maintained with the respect it deserves. Dry it well after use and oil the blade regularly. A carbon steel knife can be sharpened with a whetstone, for example.

Durable and safe handle with excellent grip
The handles of Peltonen Knives are the result of years of design work based on the actual needs and uses of the knife. The robust handle made of thermoplastic vulcanizate is produced using an injection molding process, with the tang of the blade running through the handle.
