Svord Peasant Mini 18

When you get this knife expect that you'll have to sharpen it, stick some small washers in it and adjust it's blade tension before it reaches it's full potential. When you're done you'll treasure the little thing.

Bought this as a gift for my girlfriend, and if anything I'm a little envious as I wish I'd gotten one myself. Very nicely finished blade, although the grind was slightly higher up on one side of the blade, that isn't a problem. Did require a touch up with a sharpening stone, but now it's splitting atoms! Thanks again to Heinnie for light-speed delivery.

Lovely knife with a really retro feel and finish. Love the way you can open it one handed and that the tang will prevent the blade closing on your fingers when gripping the handle. Stupidly easy to sharpen and UK legal, I think this will replace my EDC Swiss Army Knife. Go on grab one and see what all the fuss is about!

It's a great design for sure. The plastic handles may look a bit cheap but they feel surprisingly good in the hand. Even with my small hands I'm already thinking the slim narrow handle is restricting the potential of the design and blade. I'll eventually get round to making a more substantial wooden handle which will release this knifes full potential. It's a winner for sure.

If Adam carried a knife alongside his sword it'd be one of these. Nice and sharp out of the packet but a quick flick across my sharpener had it sharp enough to split atoms by just waving it through the air :) It's an odd shape to carry, but a large change pocket suffices or chuck it on your back pocket, it's all good. They are cheap enough yet of sufficient quality to use everyday and not be worried about losing it or nicking the blade on anything hard, job jobbed I'd have another in a heartbeat if or when this one gets lost, nicked or wrecked.

I wasn't too impressed with the knife OTB. It wasn't evenly ground and wasn't the sharpest. The overall appearance of the knife is a tad rough. However, after a week of solid use, I have decided that this is actually brilliant. Because it is so rough and rustic looking (especially the blade patina) I'm not at all afraid to use this knife like it was meant for. As a bit of a perfectionist, I always feel a bit icky about scratching up shinier blades, but this one I really work. I put a slightly better grind on the blade, and after a while on the strop I got this as sharp as any I own. It is easy to sharpen up, even when dull using a DC4, and takes a great edge. It offers great grip, and will not close on your fingers because of the protruding tang. The overall appearance is actually quite appealing when you accept its roughness. Overall, I couldn't wish for a better small companion in the woods. HH service was beyond compare once again, I don't know how other sites compete!

If you like the peasant knife you will love the mini. Perfect for the pocket and UK legal without having to reshape the blade. Just need one in wood now, get one, they are great for the money. Would make a great present.

I love a good value for money knife, especially if it won't get you in trouble with the law. A few passes on the Lanskey 4 in a box and it was shaving sharp. A new EDC favourite simplicity at its best. Easy one handed opening too. What more could you ask for.... great sevice, fast dispatch comes as standard from HH.

The standard peasant is a great cheap user, this one is even better. Small compact size and very useable. Top marks to Svord. Top marks also to Heinnie, professional as always.
