MKM Malga 6 18

Loved the concept of this, and really wanted to love it... and I do, but it's let down by a few issues that really bother me at the price point it is at. The scales are not flush with the frame, all the way round. There is a noticeable overlap, to me at least, but maybe I am being picky. The finish to the scales isn't quite uniform either. The finish to visible parts of the tools within the frame is pretty agricultural. But, all of the above I could live with, even if I was a little bit disappointed. However, I have noticed that the corkscrew sits noticeably proud of the frame, and is slightly bent. I have only opened one bottle of wine with it! I didn't notice at the time, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary when using it. This issue makes me think it is just not fit for purpose. I have also noticed that the frame by the corkscrew has a couple of dents in it. Is it made of steel that is just a bit too soft? A shame, as I really wanted to like it. Maybe I was just unlucky with this one. I am about to email HH to request a return, which I have never considered before with any of my purchases.

I have this in the green and it is stunning. A lovely little tool. Very easy to open and very lightweight. Totally recommend

Blade point sits too high in the frame when closed, combined with a fair old gap between the point and the lanyard dohickey/internal framework means its very easy to snag things - other pocket contents - pocket liner - a finger!. Try running your finger along the spine of the blade from tip to back when closed, let me know how much it hurts and how much blood you spill :D It will get used by myself but will always have to be carried in a slip.

Nice blade and scales apart, I found this knife to be very average with poor tolerances. Maybe the price you pay for a hand made item. A Victorinox Pioneer is a much better made knife for 1/3 of the price.
