About Peltonen Knives
Finland has a unique knife culture and strong traditions in knife making. Finnish knife manufacturers are rare, as the craft requires special manual skills and a deep understanding, especially in handling carbon steel. For over a decade, Peltonen Knives blades have been handmade by Finnish craftsmen in the Laurin Metalli workshop, 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 qualities, combining ergonomics, functionality, and, above all, safety. Our knives are among the best in the world because they are both durable and adaptable to various needs and purposes. They are carefully designed and manufactured based on real-life 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. Crafted in the traditional Finnish style, the knife's leather sheath represents genuine Nordic craftsmanship. Alternatively, sheaths made of plastic composite offer a more modern material that is lightweight and easy to maintain. Kydex is used as a third material, which is equally durable, lightweight, and easy to care for, and is available in various colors and camouflage patterns.

Coatings offer protection and facilitate 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, for example, with a whetstone.

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