Mini Peasant Black

This is a neat knife, decent construction. Comfy to use, comfortably fits in my hand (I wear a medium in men's gloves). Came fairly sharp - the bevel is convex. The tip of the blade rests on brass when closed, which ain't great but it's easy to fix with a rubber washer. I intend to make some pretty wooden scales to replace the plastic. These knives are dead simple but very pleasing little tools. A lot of people stress how thin the blades are. It's true. I can flex the blade a bit if I push it sideways with my thumb. Don't use it as a prybar. It doesn't feel flimsy though. I'd say it's for light to medium duty work - slicing and carving, whittling, breaking down boxes. It's cheap enough to be replaced if you do ruin it though. All in all I'm quite satisfied with it.

So it's basically two adjustment tension screws, a blade, a stop pin, and handles, and that's it. No washers or spacers or anything else. The blade is Swedish L6 high carbon tool steel, and the knife is made in New Zealand. I own Spyderco's, Opinel's, Leatherman, Mora's, etc. and I find myself using and loving this silly little knife more than any of the others combined. It's little blade is scalpel-shaped and can be sharpened to razor hair shaving sharp. It's strong, lightweight, and fun to "play with," meaning that I find myself opening and closing it, and just admiring the simplicity. My favorite part is that it is such simple quality, for so cheap, and it's not made in China, all for around $11-14 (!!!).

Great little knife for the money. It almost disappears in your pocket with how light it is, and is still easy to find because of how it is shaped. I do wish it was a little bit more sturdy. As a guy that has always had a knife in my pocket it often get used in ways its not intended to and this knife lacks a little in that light. But still great for the price and will buy again.

Excellent little convex edge friction folder, comes razor sharp and stays that way with stropping. Great knife

This knife is easily the best value for the price on any knife I have ever seen. I own about 60 folding knifes, and when I heard about this one,i had to see for myself. out of the box with no work, this is very useable.i would have said 4 stars. Easy to use, exactly what I paid for. But I like my knives a little sharper than the usual factory grind. I spent ten minutes with some fine finishing stones and put a scary edge on it.i got this an hour ago and now I'm shaving with it. As it was in the box though, still a really good knife.

I read & saw some reviews on this peasant knife. Always wanted one, but had never seen or handle one. I thought it might be clumsy, but liked the hardened high carbon steel blade to hold a really sharp edge for my home shop use. Bought the small one here, because it does open differently than a typical folder. Hard plastic handle, but seems to be really a tough material of some kind. Perfect size to fit the hand open (6.75") or closed (5.5"). No its European design doesn't have a "classic" lock open, but the tang of the blade is inside your palm and it will not close on you. The tang end sticking out when closed is what bothers some people, but not me. I have plenty of conventional folding and automatic knives. Impressions: It already came pretty sharp, but I wanted it really sharp. Using my WorkSharp tool & knife sharpener (see my other review on this awesome sharpener) I was able to hone a razor sharp edge that is actually too sharp for general purpose use. I'm gonna hurt myself. "Swedish carbon steel knife bliss" someone says in a review. There is a reason 80% of the buyers rate this 4+ stars (62% 5 stars - I'm one of them)

This is an interesting knife. With some work I think these will make good work and project knives. I really like the uniqueness of the design; it’s actually quite comfortable to use. I’m definitely ordering the full size one to use as a yard work beater. Major issues: Blade resting on the rear pin. This could be poor QC? Easily corrected. You could tighten the back screw to pinch the blade before contact occurs. I chose to build up the stop pin with some nail polish and then file to fit. I took pictures of before and after my modification. It’s pretty lame that the factory couldn’t get this right. The other issue is that the blade came completely dull. I am able to sharpen my own knives so I’m not really concerned. Most people that purchase this I’m assuming are probably knife enthusiasts and capable of the same. I’m planning on ordering a few more. I really want to make some scales out of micarta and or wood. The simple design just looks like fun to play around with and customize. It’s cheap enough and if you are curious it’s probably worth it.

This is an initial impressions review. I am liking this thing already. It arrived sharp enough to shred the page facing the quaint warranty card that came with it. A decent edge I'm refining some more. Against a stone this feels like a good steel. The plastic scales feel like the same tough stuff that my screwdrivers and other daily use tools are made with. The design, method of operation is the real star. So obvious and simple, yet unique in the current market. despite looking much like a straight razor it's control and range of motion is specific to pocket knife use. If this thing breaks or otherwise messes up on me, but I'm not seeing anything here to concern me.
