    Absolute must have

    Posted by Caleb Miller on 26th Feb 2019

    For those looking for an affordable, accurate knife representing the type common to the 18th century, they should look no further than the one offered by South Union Mills. It's a very well built little knife, the blade comes oiled and with a good edge to start on, and sharpens down very well. Highly recommended. If I had to pick one thing to improve upon, it would be the alignment of the blade in the closed position; it tends to want to close a little off-center, and needs to be guided back into its groove. Otherwise, A+!

    Small Knife: A "Must Have" Item!

    Posted by Captain David Sulin on 13th Dec 2018

    I just received this knife in the smaller size. I am extremely pleased by the very high quality at such a reasonable price. Again the good folks at SUM have supplied the reenacting community with another "must have" item with "the look" that many of us strive for. The knife comes well sharpened and ready for service. I can understand why it is hard to keep them in stock. You won't regret this purchase. This knife would make a great gift for a company pard or an end of season award to a messmate who has gone above the norm for the sake of others.

    Large knife review

    Posted by David Quin on 4th Sep 2018

    Finding the proper, period correct pocket knife is somewhat difficult. I have looked for one for years, especially my ancestor, who served in the Union Army, sold them after the war. This is a nice, accurate knife. I bought the larger of the two and am looking forward to using it.
