Awe4some knife.
I really like this knife. I bought it because I was looking for a historically accurate pocket knife. I was very pleasantly surprised. The blade is thin and has some flex; mind that this is not a criticism... it was quite sharp, and after a few licks on a piece of ceramic, it could shave hair off the back of my hand, and it glides through apples like they aren't there. The bone scales are a nice touch, too. I was so pleased I ordered a second just to be sure I have a spare.
This knife is a great little knife for the price. It offers a low cost reproduction that is usable.
Very nicely constructed and a perfect fit for the hand. Having purchased the the smaller knife, I was planning on using it as an utensil to match the folding spoon and fork. Such a great addition to the kit!!
I am quite happy with the pocket knife, so much so,I bought both the small and the large one to use in my interpretation work.
I am very happy with this knife, both for it's utilitarian purposes as well as it's authenticity. I like the small one so much, I got the large on as well! So I can use it for some of the heavier duty projects like cutting rope, etc....
The small sized version of this period styled pocket knife is a really great knife for the money. A good size to carry every day. It’s easy to open, came very sharp. It does need to be carefully closed by hand to assure the blade correctly reseats in the handle.
Very solid and authentic piece. The only one available at this price that uses steel instead of brass bolsters.
These are very much in the spirit of the originals, made to use daily. Carbon steel sharpens up well, will darken with use and holds an edge. Like working knives from the period, these should be closed gently rather than allowing the spring to snap them shut, which may blunt the blade. Oil the joint and it will serve you well.
