My Holy Grail Neck Knife? J-P Peltonen M23, ’Pikkusissi’.

Photo with Mushrooms from 20 yrs ago, lol.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyromit...
(I mentioned that my father-in-law didnt cook these, only dried them. Remember, you HAVE TO cook it, THREE TIMES!!!! You dont play with mushrooms)
(Btw. the sound behind the footage of deers is not cars, its a nearby waterfall. )
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella
(And yes, the footage of wildlife was all from the same trip…)
Length: 63cm
Steel: 80crv2
It's been hardened to two degrees: 62 and 59. (you see the line in mid of the cutting edge)

    Nice introduction again. Looking forward to seeing the cranes here again. They are back, I have heard their dinosaur noises but not seen them yet. The toads reminded me of Unni (though hard to tell they weren't frogs, I think I need glasses 😂). She caught one on Karhunkierros, it tasted disgusting, she wouldn't feed that even to a human. It's a great little knife. I am sure we will both be carrying them a lot this summer. Glad your feeling better mate.

    Hallo mein Freund, sehr schöne Bilder. Fast wäre das Messer zur Nebensache geworden. Aber nur fast. Das Messer scheint wirklich beeindruckend zu sein. Die harte Schneide und die differentielle Härtung tun dem Messer anscheinend gut. Vielen Dank für die schöne Vorstellung. Wünsche Dir einen sehr angenehmen Tag.

    Interesting seeing the birds, amphibians and animals all enjoying spring in your introduction. I did a small amount of research on the whitetail deer that I see in your videos. They were a gift to the Finland people from Finnish immigrants from my childhood state of Minnesota in North America. 1935 seven fawns were imported to Finland a few years later more were imported to give more genetic diversity because only one of the original males had lived to mate with does. Now there is a thriving population. I grew up eating meat from these beautiful animals. It was a milestone in a young man’s life to have successfully hunted harvested one of them. I enjoyed your walk up the little creek to the lake. I also have spent many happy hours following creeks and rivers, they seem happy to have someone checking in with where they come from or where they are going. I like the shape of the of the little knife, am hoping that the blade manufacturer will soon sell the blade only so that I can make my own with birch bark handle. I am not interested plastic handles or sheaths, they don’t have any soul, in my opinion. I am old fashioned, I like horses, wood boats & canoes, log homes, bamboo fly rods…..the list goes on and on. I was worried about you, afraid that you had stop filming KZread videos. Glad you were able to successfully defeat the flu. My wife brought back a flu bug she picked up in the Netherlands. We stayed away from each other or wore masks, I was lucky and did not get it. Thank you for your good reviews, I enjoy them immensely.

    Oh yeah, they brought them here from there, remember reading about that. We have three different deers nowadays here where I live: white-tailed deer, roe dee, some european fallow deers. A bit northern from here lives the Finnish Forest Reindeer (which is different than the regular reindeer) kzread.info/dash/bejne/laFnrcRvqLeperQ.html I like your old fashioned way! I very much like that too. I grew up only using wooden handled puukkos with leather sheaths, thats it. This is one of the only kydex sheaths I own. And WOW, always wanted to have Bamboo rods. Love them! I have some vintage Orvis Graphite rods. Thanx for watching my friend, have s great day!🌲⭐️🌲

    I've watched this about 6 times today! LOVE that M23! Got to get one! What a knife, love it! Especially the "pointy" tip, it can get into some very tight nook and crannies when you are carving, plus 80CrV2 steel, my FAV carbon steel!! Can't wait until they hit the US! Other than my Puukko's, most all of my knives are drop point, nothing as "Pointy" and precise as this blade! Also love the neck sheath, particularly in the winter with heavy layers of clothing can make access to a belt knife rather limited! With the neck carry, you know right where it is with minimum fuss! In the summer, when roaming around it shorts and T-shirt, the neck sheath is out of your way and so lightweight, you hardly know it's there, yet still at your fingertips! 👍👍

    This comment doesn’t have anything to do with this small fairly expensive knife. This is the only way I know how to contact your You are also the only Finnish fly fisherman that I feel like I know, so here is my question. I would like to know if you have any knowledge of a a Finnish Salmon Fishing Fly called Vihree made with brown bear hair, green hackle, and gold, red yellow fly tying materials. I would like to know more about this flys history, plus anything else about this fly. I would be happy to communicate in some other way. Text or email, but I don’t know of what those ways would be. I don’t even know your name. I do know that we share a lot of the same things in common.

    Hi, I did some digging and it appears to be designed by guy named Juha Järvinen, a professional fly fisher. If I understood correctly it was designed specifically to the River Teno, border river between Norway and Finland. One of the biggest salmon rivers in Europe. Funny enough I started my Fly Fishing in that very river in early 90s. Though Im more of a trout and grayling fisher. Looks nice the fly! Please check my instagram account, there I share much more other stuff. And it great way to chat and share things. (My name is Ilari btw.)

    Thank you for telling me about the origin of that fly. A friend of mine in Minnesota sent me a couple of Vihree Flies and instructions on what materials were needed to tie it. He couldn’t remember where he got the original recipe for it other than it was from Finland. He also said it was an excellent trout fly in smaller sizes. In 2019 I made a road trip to Northern Finland to Utsjoki on the River Teno to see the famous Teno River Boat. Spent a few hours with the builder and his wife, beautiful wooden boat, expertly hand crafted by him. They have a nice internet web site Tenon Vene if you want to see his boats. I would love to have one to use in Alaskan Rivers but getting one over here is beyond the limits of my financial ability. I too am mostly an Arctic Grayling and trout fisherman, dearly love to float a Klinkhammer dry fly to rising Grayling on the nearby rivers. Thank you for you videos and information provided in them. Have a sparkly day!

    How could you get bored watching this interesting review of this new knife. Not my kind of knife by any means (I don’t like modern materials for handles or sheaths) but, for many of us a close enough rendition of the almost perfect knife for real life uses. Very few of us are daily fighting bears, man eating cats or Rambo fighting thick chested men. This knife is really all we need.
