MKM Fara Slip Joint Wood 18

Superb knife. Solid half stops and lockup with a good four finger grip - my pinkie fits nicely around the metal butt extension. The scales are beautifully done, and the anodised titanium blue ferrule on the pivot gives a nice accent. The blade steel, being Böhler's M390, is beyond reproach. Mine came with a lovely pocket sheath with a magnetized folding clip. I use it every day - it's also UK legal so I have no qualms about carrying it anywhere. A gentleman's folder that will get the job done with style and finesse. It's a gorgeous piece of form and function.

First impression was that this was smaller than expected, a three and a half finger knife for my size large hands. Also a thin handle, no relaxed grip here, my hand will be a tight fist. The spring is quite strong, no worries there. Mine shipped with a pocket, rather than a belt sheath, much better. With its diminutive size and "friendly" wood handle it will make an acceptable EDC, even a Gentleman's knife, but it is not for hard work, for me, hence its good quality steel is pointless. So, I only award it two stars with its price in mind. A version with a deeper and slightly longer handle would get five.

Lovely little knife, super slip joint in both direction, great materials and styling. What is their not to be impressed with. Super sharp out of the box. This knife reminds me of Kylie Minogue.... Small and super fit.
