M23 Ranger Cub Carbon Knife - Green

Peltonen Knives is a Finnish brand founded in 1995 by Juha-Pekka Peltonen, a former army officer. On a posting to Lebanon he handled an American service knife and was struck by the weight, balance and handling of that blade. He then imagined a knife with the same qualities but adapted to northern conditions. A functional, tough tool suited to military and outdoor use.
That is how the brand's first model was born in 1995: the M95 Ranger Puuko.

The M23 Ranger Cub is the little brother of the legendary Ranger Puuko.
A lightweight but go-anywhere knife, much appreciated for its versatility. It is precise and easy to handle and can be carried around the neck or on the belt.A small puukko made for camping, hiking, bushcraft and carving... it will handle the everyday tasks of those activities. It is a sound choice for everyday carry too.

The blade of the M23 Ranger Cub is made in the Laurin Metalli Oy workshop in Kauhava, Finland.
An uncoated carbon blade with a scandi grind, where the upper part stays black after hardening, in the purest finishing style of the traditional Finnish knife.
Easy to sharpen and excellent for working wood.
The spine of the blade can be used to strike a firesteel.
Do note that an uncoated carbon blade is prone to corrosion. Remember to dry and oil it after use to prevent rust.

The handle of the M23 Ranger Cub is made from a TPE plastic blend (thermoplastic elastomer).
A practically indestructible material that nonetheless recycles very well.
Particular care has gone into the design, the ergonomics and the texture of the handle (slightly rubbery and very grippy). The knife stays in your hand whatever the conditions, even with wet hands.

The Kydex sheath of the M23 Ranger Cub comes with a paracord lanyard for neck carry.
The other option is horizontal carry on the belt. The sheath attaches easily and securely to a belt with the Pull-the-DOT® press stud.
Kydex is exceptionally durable: it resists knocks and weather, and copes with damp, chemicals and temperature swings.

The M23 Ranger Cub is ideal for all sorts of jobs: precision work in wood, making feather sticks to start a fire, preparing food... You will adopt it in no time! We love how it feels in the hand. A sense of weight for such a small knife, and perfect balance. You know you are holding something solid, a knife that will not let go!
