The Peltonen Knives M95 Ranger Puukko Fixed Blade in Coyote Tan is a purpose-driven survival and tactical tool originally designed for military use and refined into a trusted companion for demanding wilderness environments. Built in Finland and designed by former Finnish Defence Forces Captain J-P Peltonen, this knife carries a legacy of disciplined engineering and real-world field performance, making it a dependable choice for camping, survival, and tactical applications where failure isn’t an option.
At its core is a 145 mm (5.7") drop point blade crafted from 80CrV2 carbon steel, a material known for its toughness, edge stability, and ease of maintenance in harsh conditions. The blade features a sabre grind set at a 23° angle, delivering a strong balance of slicing efficiency and structural durability, especially under heavy use. Heat treated to approximately HRC 59, it holds a sharp working edge while maintaining the resilience needed for batoning, carving, and general field utility tasks. The blade thickness of 4.25 mm (0.167") reinforces its capability as a rugged, no-nonsense outdoor performer. In this coyote tan variant, the finish complements its field-ready aesthetic while offering additional protection depending on coating application.
The handle is constructed from coyote tan TPE, engineered for excellent grip performance across wet, cold, and high-stress environments. Its ergonomic profile supports extended use without fatigue, while the reinforced hidden tang construction ensures long-term structural integrity. The design is ambidextrous, making it equally accessible for left- or right-handed users, and it includes a lanyard hole for added retention options in dynamic field conditions.
Measuring 273 mm (10.7") overall and weighing approximately 200 g (7.05 oz), the M95 maintains an ideal balance between portability and control. The included tan synthetic sheath is MOLLE and PALS compatible, integrating seamlessly with tactical gear setups. The EasyLock system and Velcro belt loop provide secure, adaptable carry options whether mounted on a pack, vest, or belt, ensuring fast deployment when it matters most. Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and demanding environments, it’s a reliable field companion built for real-world utility.
This knife reflects a straightforward philosophy: durability, functionality, and trust under pressure, making it a standout in modern fixed-blade design.
