Hi everyone, I would like to buy a bushcraft knife for less than 100 euros.
I was currently thinking of two knives: Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110 and peltonen knives m07 ranger puukko fjp146. Which of the two would you recommend? The cost of the two knives with sheath is very similar, around 85-90 euros.
I accept advice from other knives and if you can explain why. Thank you very much in advance.
 
They're both good and pretty similar, from what I've read and discussed with friends. I've only personally used the terava.

I say, flip a coin.

The stromeng leukus are a similar vibe in the blade but more traditional.
 
This guy (more knowledgeable than I am) believes they actually have the same manufacturer. I don't think you can go wrong with either.


Granted he's not using the M07 but the M95, and the Terava 140 over the 110, but I think this fits your situation.
 
I decided for the Terävä Jääkäripuukko but at this point I'm undecided between 110 and 140. I wouldn't intend to do chopping but for batoning the 140 could be more useful. What do you think?
I'm also undecided about the sheath.

The 110 is a really great knife that can do much more than the size would indicate. If you plan to baton, the 140 allows for longer reach and the knife has a strong following for a reason. Either will be great. The leather sheaths Terava has are excellent. I have a non- leather sheath for my 110 and it fits very well and allows for different carrying methods/positioning.

If you plan to do lots of chopping, grab a 200 or a 240 (one of my favorite knives).

I wouldn't do chopping with either the 110 or the 140, I prefer to use an ax for this purpose.
But for batoning yes.. and that's the only reason why I'm undecided, vice versa I would take the 110. Are you saying that the 140 for batoning is much superior?
What doesn't convince me about the leather sheath is the method of transportation and positioning. Having only the belt loop I wouldn't know how else to position it, furthermore if I hung it on the backpack with a carabiner it would swing a lot. In what ways do you position it? if the leather sheath had had some holes it would have been perfect

The longer blade allows you to have more area to strike as well as theoretically thicker wood to baton through while not striking the spine too close to the tip. IMO if you plan to attach it to a pack I think the Boltaron sheath would be a better choice.

I only have the leather for my Skrama 240 which is a great dangler. It fits very snugly as well as has a snap loop. You could certainly attach a carabiner to the D-ring if attaching to a pack. I truly prefer the look and feel of leather, but sometimes Kydex, Bolotoron or similar is just a better way to carry.
