Even Better Than Expected!
I already had a stainless standard size peasant knife from Svord that makes a great food prep knife, but I wanted a carbon mini to EDC. It came today and the fit, finish, and grind are all even better on the mini. My standard peasant had a slightly uneven grind from the factory, but after stropping it cuts as well as my Opinels. The mini looks to have come from the factory with a nice true convex edge (?!) I didn't expect that but it cuts great with no sharpening needed. Svord handles are love it or hate it, but I personally like the look and feel of the plastic handles. These are polarizing knives and some people don't like them, which I understand. They are simple and utilitarian. I will use this without worry about scuffing the blade or cracking the handles, like I might with some of the "collector" knives I've bought in the past. Overall this knife is exactly what it sets out to be, a handy cutting tool to keep in your pocket, and the price can't be beat. Love it!
