Well it's a honor to talk to you sir. I remember your article on Mora knives before the whole bushcraft craze began, I must have read it a dozen times. You were wearing a rather unique Finnish jacket. The old school camo but with slant pockets with large green zippers. It took me forever to find one back then and cost be a stupid amount of money, I still have it. Again thanks for the info,I tried to find that brochure but it's long gone. It very well could have been from the smith you mentioned. It was a pile of unmistakable 95 blades with a caption along the lines of Finnish military knives ready for handles. I wonder if he sharpened them before handle install? Thank again
 
Puukko1, Thanks for your kind words. J-P has sold his company and the blades are now made by Lauri Metalli in Kauhava, Finland. They have been in the knife /blade making business since 1918, and make blades for several different companies. John

Thank you John for the info. I guess I just assumed that if the blades were in his shop that he made them. One should never assume lest he make an ass of himself. Sorry every one for the wrong information.

One more thing John. Do you know if that article you did on the moras is on line anywhere or what magazine and issue it was. I would love to read it again for old times sake.
 
Thanks, late 90's if I remember. You didn't have a tip in the article involving velcro on the sheath when wearing around your neck did you? I was going to start a thread about a tip when using a neck knife, it's something I think I thought up,but I just want to make sure it wasn't something I seen in that article. I've put my foot in my mouth once on this forum, I wear size 12 boots I don't have room for another😊
 
Puukko1, It must have been someone else, as I do not remember a tip involving Velcro on a neck sheath, but then again I do not remember a lot of things! John

John,I remember it was something I came up with not too long after reading that article, seeing you wear it around your neck. I didn't like the way the knife was in the way if I was doing anything but standing up. See my thread on the solution I came up with. I don't know how to link. I thought it works great, but am getting shit for it. Thanks

I've owned 2 of the m95s and worked them both hard. No failures...ever. Tough, no nonsense blades.

I own two as well. One sits right at the computer. The other two fixed blade knives within reach are an Al Mar and a Kizylar Supreme Sansei.
 
Someone gifted me an M95 years ago. It's one I won't part with, one of my favorite rambling knives. (Although it must be said a rather excessive one.) It's not this clean anymore.

is Peltonen M07 true scandi grind?

The folk who took it upon themselves to create the "official" definition of the "Scandi Grind," BritishBlades.com, are years gone. Enforcement, if you can call scolding that, no loinger takes place. Neither of the Peltonen knives fit the "officaial" self-appointed definition: low saber grid; no secondary bevel. M95 has a flat grind with a secondary bevel. The MO7 has a high saber grind and secondary bevel. Nice, all-'round knives.

That surprises me.

80crv2 krupp steel is supposed to be among the toughest carbons and Lauri definitely has their heat treat down to the letter.

Then again he was holding a broken skrama too.

He seemed very surprised too. All knives get destroyed, that's his thing, but it's how very little it took to break the knife in half, he expected a lot more.
To be fair, the knife appear to be very well constructed. That failure could be attributed to a manufacturing defect either in the original steel, like a micro crack or somesuch, or a failed heat treat, it is a sample size of 1 after all.

Any tool can be broken by the right wrong person. He used it as impact tool against an " iron rod." What a moron.

You obviously don't know his channel. He destruct test knives, that's his thing, so all the knives, and there's a lot, gets destroyed on his channel. Point being to see how much abuse can a knife take before failure.
