Compares well with more expensive Puukkos.

This is a difficult item to evaluate. I received it at the same time as my Linder Guide which is a huge bargain. This Puukko style knife seemed so small & light in comparison - & it was a tenner more. However, you can't compare chalk with cheese & this is a different type of bargain. It's a tough lightweight Carbon steel blade which has a black, carbonized finish. The handle is small but nicely shaped & feels good to hold. The brass finger guard is small but goes well with the ferrule. The tang goes all the way through the handle & is peined through a brass washer. The only thing that lets this knife down is the awful sheath whiich is totally out of keeping with this type of knife - & mine arrived scuffed & badly scratched. The knife deserves better & I'll make my own replacement. I've made several knives like this one & I bought this to compare quality/ standard of finish etc. My own knives fare well against this which makes me happy that my work is improving. I've handled many Puukko style knives & many are a lot more expensive than this one. This knife holds its own against products at 2 or 3 times its prce. It must be considered a bargain at only £29 - but ditch that ugly sheath!

This knife is good value, comfortable to hold, a handy size and looks sturdy. It is well built and mine had an attractive curly birch handle. Needed a bit of stropping to make really sharp.
