M07 SISSIPUUKKO

Shorter version of m/95. Manufactured by J.P. Peltonen. Rubber coated handle and rough finish on blade.

”I have the newer version of the M07 (not from you guys BTW, they were very difficult to find in stock anywhere). It's a very good knife, on a par with the Terävä Jääkäripuukkos. Let's be honest, the JP is the knife Varusteleka designed to offer a similar knife to the Peltonen which was always out of stock - and you did a very good job. So well that Peltonen ended his cooperation with Fiskars and shifted the production of his knife blades to Laurin Metalli, the same who make the Terävä knives. The Peltonen Sissipuukko and the Jääkäripuukko are obviously made from the same blade stock - 80CrV2, same width, same thickness. Thus, excellent steel. The Peltonen Sissipuukko has a different profile, with a higher grind and a thinner tip, more suitable for either cutting cheese or stabbing something or someone.”

Sotilastarkkailijana toiminut J-P Pelonen inspiroitui Libanonissa palvellessaan käsiinsä saamastaan yhdysvaltalaisesta sotilasveitsestä jo vuonna 1979. Mielessä alkoi muhia idea järeästä ja isohkosta puukosta, joka kuitenkin sopisi myös pohjoismaalaiseen eräkäyttöön.

Vuonna 1995 kehitystyö lähti käyntiin sodankyläläisen everstiluutnantin harmiteltua Peltoselle, että koko maasta ei tunnu löytyvän todella pätevää puukkoa jossa yhdistyisivät eräpuukon ja sotilaspuukon käyttöominaisuudet.

Pitkän kehitystyön lopputuloksena syntynyt sissipuukko on NATO-koodilla varustettu työkalu joka palvelee ammattilaisia ja eräharrastajia.
