Whenever I leave civilisation take my M95 Peltonen with me, the sissipuukko. It is a semi-official "ranger"-knife for the Finnish Armed Forces. Some are issued, many buy them as a conscription souveneir, as I did with my first one.
It is a pretty basic big knife, just a bit big to do any meaningfull finer woodwork but big enough to chop kindling and wood if you batton it.
The cool thing is the sheath-design that allows you to carry it upside down. Or horisontaly. It stays in place and is always accessible quickly with one hand. Really a great design, you can chose a plastic sheath to be all around tacticool, or leather.
If you are a tacticool conscript you wear it upside down on your left shoulder or plate carrier. Or at least when I got my first one years ago we did. It looks really tryhard and cringey when I think about it.
And the manufacturer originated in my home village, so please buy one, nowadays it also comes in two shorter, more practical models, the m07 and the m23.
Knives arent issued to finnish average conscripts, because they tend to go "missing".
Same thing goes with the "summer" ranger hat.
And by missing i mean they took it home, filed paperwork for lost knife and then a very small amount was reduced from their daily dogshit wage.
Same happened with mags, but some years ago when EU cuck laws made 30 round mags here "license only", stealing a magazine became a bigger crime than stealing 20 euros worth of shit, you would get slapped with "unlicensed possession of a controlled firearm part" charge.
Swedes did it right back in the day long ago.
Swedish army when they had conscription issued specially manufactured Moras which had a bright orange handle.
So if some civvie had one of those, it was ALWAYS stolen.
Then one day they sold literal truckloads of surplus, and those knives were surplus.
Back then you could shove your pockets full of them and only pay like 20 euros worth.
Now, theyre 30-40 euros for one.
Oh and, they were laminated which makes them kinda special for a mass produced "basic bitch" knife.
Back when i was in army, alot of our AUK and RUK guys bought that knife you linked, or a similar model.
I had 3 with me, a knife i had forged for general work, shitty ak74 bayonet for cutting wire(holster + knife becomes wire cutter) and to do rough work, then a small tiny carving knife.
Why a carving knife?
TO MAKE WOODEN DICKS, WHAT ELSE?
Favorite past time of the fingolian conscript in the woods, make wooden DICKS
