Svord Peasant Knife Wood 18

Great blade, horrible handle. Strip the varnish with acetone, sand the wood smooth, then treat the wood with beeswax. You will transform a brilliant value knife into a beautiful, brilliant value knife. My first purchase from HH, and a great experience - order placed Sunday afternoon, despatch e-mail received Monday morning, goods delivered Tuesday. So - a great knife from a great retailer.

Brilliant, simplicity itself. Had to trim mine to make it my EDC set as a clip point rather than a drop point.

Much bigger than I thought it would be! As it comes it is a nice knife. With a small amount of work, sanding down the wood and giving it a linseed oil finish, this knife is excellent! It comes sharp and seems to hold a good edge. No frills just what I wanted. Superb is not too strong a word for this knife.

I heard alot of good things about his knife so decided to get one. out of the box it's sharp and pretty good but with a little work on the handle finish and edge then it's brilliant. It holds a great edge for a good time, the blade length is over 3" but UK law says the cutting edge must be under 3" not the blade, so just grind about 5mm from the bottom of the blade if you want it for edc!

A good simple knife, but I was unsure about its legality for EDC in the UK, so I've taken off about 1/4 of an inch in a drop point fashion. Even though the blade is pretty thin, it wore out 3 hacksaw blades, so I am very confident about its strength.

More robust than my beloved Opinel yet just as functional. Equally at home on the dining table, at work or around the campsite. Easy to open and easy to sharpen. A 400 year old classic!

HAVE A FIXED BLADE SVORD ALREADY.GOT THIS ONE AND GASHED MY KNUCKLE ON FOLDING IN.STEEL IS GOOD! ONCE YOU ADJUST SCREW TENSION TO YOUR LIKING YOU ARE WELL AWAY.BE SENSIBLE AND IT WILL SERVE YOU WELL.AINT NO MACHETE.

Bigger than I expected, but well made and the steel appears similar to that of an Opinel, which should make sharpening easy. The knife has a similar "locking" system to a cut-throat razor, and is very secure in use, not far short of a conventional lock. It comes nicely packaged with a lifetime warranty If you think of this as a budget utility knife, capable but cheap enough to lose/break (like the Mora Frost knives ) you won't be disappointed.

Bought this when HH introduced it. Nice steel, sharp from box, and keeps its edge. Opens with one hand and is technically ?non-locking?. As the backpin floats free the blade is held by compression of the scales as well as thumb pressure, wrap a lanyard round and its as good as a fixed blade. Take a grinder/file to the blades last few mm for UK Street Legal. For me, just too big overall for an EDC (and frankly, just too peasanty!), One for the allotment.
