The Peltonen Knives M95 Ranger Puukko Fixed Blade in Black TPE is a rugged, field-proven knife designed for those who need dependable performance in demanding environments. Originally developed for military use, this Finnish-made fixed blade has become a trusted companion for wilderness exploration, survival, camping, and tactical applications. Designed by former Finnish Defence Forces Captain J-P Peltonen, the M95 Ranger Puukko reflects a practical approach to knife design, focusing on strength, reliability, and functionality when conditions are at their toughest.
The 145 mm (5.7") drop point blade is made from durable 80CrV2 carbon steel, offering excellent toughness, edge stability, and the ability to handle hard-use tasks in the field. The blade features a sabre grind with a 23° edge angle, providing a strong cutting geometry that performs well for outdoor utility, carving, camp chores, and survival tasks. Hardened to HRC 59, the blade achieves a balanced combination of durability and edge retention while maintaining the toughness expected from a serious field knife. This black variant features a black blade finish, giving the knife a low-profile tactical appearance while helping protect the carbon steel blade from environmental wear.
The handle is constructed from black TPE, delivering a secure and comfortable grip designed to perform in a wide range of conditions. Its ergonomic shape allows for confident handling during extended use, while the reinforced hidden tang construction provides exceptional strength and durability throughout the knife’s full length. The ambidextrous design allows both left- and right-handed users to operate the knife comfortably, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional retention options when working in challenging terrain.
Measuring 273 mm (10.7") overall and weighing just 200 g (7.05 oz), the M95 Ranger Puukko offers an ideal balance of portability and capability. It’s large enough for serious outdoor work while remaining lightweight enough for daily carry on extended adventures. The included black composite belt sheath features the EasyLock system, providing secure retention and quick access when needed. The sheath also includes a Velcro belt loop compatible with MOLLE and PALS webbing, making it easy to integrate into tactical gear, packs, and load-bearing equipment. NATO coding further reflects its military-inspired design and purpose-built construction.
Built in Finland and engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments, the Peltonen M95 Ranger Puukko Fixed Blade is a dependable tool for professionals, outdoorsmen, and survival enthusiasts. Whether carried into the backcountry or added to a tactical setup, this knife delivers proven performance with a simple, rugged design built to last.
