Svord Peasant Mini 18

This little knife is a great every day carry, it can do what you need it to do and more. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well it keeps and edge and the quality of the blade. The handle, albeit plastic, feels secure and nice to hold. You can always carve yourself a new one!

good knife

Excellent value for money. Blade is sharp, and easy to manipulate. Body is stock plastic, so this knife will be well used and abused. It won’t sit in a drawer for fear of getting damaged. Response time to order and shipping was excellent with no diminution of service seen even though it shipped to a non-U.K. address.

Great little knife very practical and sharp out of the box meats uk knife laws only bad point is the price compared to other knives but glad I got one definitely my favourite folding knife

A really nice knife , all my other rescue and leatherman knives have locks on the blade, thus rendering them illegal in certain situations. I am a sailor and a sailor with out a knife is useless. I hope by carrying my Svord when yachting that I can stay legal if by accident it is still in my pocket in different circumstances.

Beautiful little knife for the price. Steel is good quality and holds a wicked edge for something in this price range. Usually I’m opening letters/boxes, cutting rope, sharpening pencils and the odd bit of whittling and only need to resharpen every couple of weeks or so! The long tang is perfect for pinching out of a tight pocket or work pouch! And the simple yet practical plastic handle has a good grip in sweaty hands and fits very nicely in the palm. Opening and closing takes a bit of practise, especially closing on a tighter friction like I have. But there in lies another benefit, adjustable tension using the brass screws for the friction lock. Comes with a nice enough edge right out of the box, perfectly useable! Wouldn’t recommend for younger market (teaching knife safety and skills etc) due to the practising of opening and closing and no locking closed or open, but that comes down to personal opinion. Overall if your like me and end up loosing/misplacing knives relatively often or want a few good inexpensive knives in different spots then this is the one for you. It’s in my pocket every day and I wouldn’t trade it to be honest

Good knife, nice a sturdy. Came with a good edge, holds it well. I like the plastic handle. Feels like it will last a while.

I never give maximum ratings for anything. There is always room for improvement. But this EDC is really excellent. Basic for sure. But that's the point. Although the name says mini, it's actually a great size for the pocket, and the blade the perfect size for most everyday tasks. Takes, and keeps, a great edge, and is easy to sharpen. The extended tang, which I was unsure of at first, makes for a good locking mechanism when grasped in the hand, and one handed opening is no problem. Handle material gives a good grip and appears very hard wearing. I can see this knife being a faithful companion for a very long time.

The feel of the blade is nice in the hand, and the tang feels good to open. The edge, on the whole, is sharp, however there are some dull spots. There is a small chip on the leading edge, but it doesn't affect the knife in general use. For the price, it seems good quality steel, with a nice edge.
