If I was in the market for a super robust, easily maintained blade that was a moderate financial upscale over a Mora then this would tick a few boxes. I recently received an email from Peltonen showing off their new M07 with stainless Böhler N690 steel instead of the coated carbon steel. I live in a wet climate and around water a lot so, combined with the multiple sheath options and the lack of a coating, which I find often wears poorly and also hides dirt makes this very attractive.

I love how 'Sissipuuko' translates to 'Guerilla Knife', although I am led to believe that there is no true English translation equivalent.
 
The word "sissi" describes a member of small patrols (usually less than 10 men) that usually patrol behind enemy lines and gather information.
In WWII they sometimes formed larger parties with 100 men or so and attacked enemy supply depos and destroyed them.
 
I still have one of the original models like the center one in this picture from their sitepeltonen knife.webp
but I added a finger guard from "Sugru" puttypeltonen knife.webpknife guard 1.JPGknife guard 3.JPG
A great knife but a little handle heavy - if the newer ones are better balanced then I think I want one!
