Fixed blades

Not quite as cool as the battery of knives on display.

We'll agree to disagree

A Randall model one from the mid-sixties that I cherish

Wow, that's a combo they probably wouldn't make today if you'd try to order it.

I think this may be the Finish equivalent to a Ka Bar ( I’d take this over a Ka Bar any day ).

JP Peltonen in 80Crv2 - excellent utility knife.

Randall model 2-5 from the late-sixties.

I just counted the options on the knife, It has five and that is the maximum on a Randall these days. So, it can still be ordered.

Options:
1-Stainless Steel
2-Brass Luged Hilt
3-Micarta Handle
4-Scalloped Brass Collar
5-Flanged Scalloped Brass Butt Cap

Great, now i need one!

Yes . Definitely worth the asking price ( around $120 ish if you search ). They come in a few blade lengths. The pictured version is the longest blade 5.75 inch. I was actually surprised at how well these cut. Full tang and 5/32 stock with good heat treatment. There is actually some interesting history behind these knives - the designer is fairly well known in Scandinavia ( military ). I think anyone living in a snow covered part of the world would appreciate these even more. Very well thought out design from knife to sheath.

For y’all who have Terava’s, do you prefer the saber grind of the Peltonen?

The Terava 140 is a great knife, it may be better for carving that the Peltonen. The Peltonen definitely has better fit / finish, easily sharpened with the secondary edge.

Both are great knives

absolutely love my tops 2.5 I carry it with me basically everywhere. I’ve used it for regular edc and in the woods it’s a great knife. I put an alti clip on it and it’a improved it even more, definitely recommend.

I appreciate your feedback. I love my 240 and my 110 has shown itself to be pretty fantastic, so I was planning to get a 140 but now may have to give the Peltonen a try.

I haven’t tried either, but generally, in my experience, scandi grinds do a little better carving wood and a little worse in most other areas and flat/high saber do a little worse carving wood and a little better everywhere else.
Obviously there are many other factors to consider, but as a generalization when it comes to two similar knives this is what i think.
