I have a Mini Peasant. It's a Roman Peasant knife made in New Zealand from a high-carbon Swedish tool steel called L7 that Svord uses with a proprietary tempering formula to create an outstanding blade at a crazy cheap price. Svord makes their money from selling lots of knives instead of selling fewer at a larger profit. I filed that point off the back of the handle. It's a great EDC and you can drop it and so what? It's tough and inexpensive and perfect for what it is, a great blade that holds an edge EXTREMELY well with the most simple handle design and being able to grab that tang as you reach into your pocket is something you get used to right away.
I carried the Mini Peasant in my pocket for over a year, never once did it come close to opening accidentally. I was biking daily to work, doing physical tasks at work. This reviewer is clearly unfamiliar with this kind of knife and already formed a negative opinion without getting to know this knife. Oh well, the rest of us know this is a practical design that has stood the test of time.
Thanks for the tip! I ended up just giving this knife away to my indian buddy at the qwik E mart. I just keep a cheap harbor freight knife in my truck. Svord is a cool design but not really for me. I'm more of a butter knife kind of guy.
You can make it tighter buy adjusting the top screw. It’s a great knife for me. I had a stroke and my left had is a claw. For an edc in the UK it’s a good cheep knife. I’m replacing the plastic scales with some wood for an old time look. It holds an edge well and it’s forged.
You seem like the kind of guy who doesn't trust any knife without a lock. Slipjoints, friction folders and the like are not mean´t for thowing into tables or for splitting wood. If used correctly for their intended use they are great. Just tighten the pivot screw and it will never open in your pocket.
you did a reasonably good summary of the peasent knife,except for one thing you missed completely which is that the bolt that holds the blade in the knife also doubles as a tension adjustment device,simply tighten the screw and the blade can be either tightened up or locked in place as required.
I carry one in my pocket had no issues it cuts and costs hardly anything it's a bloody good knife. Also it's a modern version of a Roman proto pocket knife.
Hahahaha Totally understand....I was unsure at first as well....Never had a friction folder before....I've had my mini peasant svord for about 2 years as a EDC....Never had a problem with it opening in my pocket...Hahahaha But I did spend a lot of time with it first before i started carry it.....Whats great is that you can make your own scales for it easily.... The bright colors also help to not lose it in the woods, That's why I chose orange hahaha
It’s just not for me. I honestly never really carry a knife. Always keep a cheap one in the truck. Only carry one of I’m going for a long hike. Smith and Wesson is more my edc
Purchased mine 4 days ago , it ok for $15-$20. Sharp slice my index finger first time using ,what a idiot! Was a little stiff saw another review where the guy loosen/backed up the screws much better now. I think it is going to be a good work knife
These are cult knives. People almost want to fight you when you tell them it sucks. Not a good knife. I bet well get some people complaining about this comment
Nitrogen doesn’t retain moisture so in a cold climate you have less chance of internals freezing. People have issues with internals freezing on these systems. Warm climate probably wouldn’t matter. I’m pretty sure it does take In air from the atmosphere when needed. I ram a vacuum in mine for a while and got a good amount of moisture out. You could always just run air now and figure out the nitrogen before winter. I did have to recalibrate my sensors in order for the system to regain full function
Neato! Hey y'all get you a scabbard for that rascal! That way you can carry it and wear it safely on a belt like a man! Then you can learn chew Tobacco like a man and spit like a man cuss like a man not around women and children lol Drink bourbon like a Man! Hahaha
@@newenglandlife978 hey man I really enjoyed the video looking forward to more of them ! You might say I graduated at the top of my class The class of clowns ! Hahaha!
This knife is not for everybody (like this reviewer), but I would not make any decisions based on this review alone. He doesn't really take the time to learn how to use this type of knife. You can tell he has barely unboxed this thing before he hit record on his camera.

Agree with you completely. You explained it very well.

Best knife known to Zeus
If you get one and don't like it as a folder, they're easy to convert to a fixed blade with the tang the way it is
I gave mine away

I bet it would look good with wood scales.
@@newenglandlife978 if you pop on my channel I’ve just done a quick up date vid on the svord. It’s been fun so far

Awwwww, me love you loooooooooong time
@@newenglandlife978 was it somthing i said ? coz likee the sounds of looooong time such a nice thing to say.if your a girl these kisses are fo you xxx
They make soft little sheaths for them, so no worries of opening in your pocket.
Not my cup of tea
I carry one in my pocket had no issues it cuts and costs hardly anything it's a bloody good knife. Also it's a modern version of a Roman proto pocket knife.
I get it that many people enjoy this knife. It’s not for me. I prefer a smith and Wesson .380 bodyguard

No way it could open in your pocket, also not a gimmick or novelty.

perfect UK legal carry.
Uk is tough on knives? Here I am allowed to carry a bazooka. 🇺🇸
@@newenglandlife978 lol. You can get done for carrying a sharp object in your pocket in the UK.
Even the police are not allowed to carry .
@@newenglandlife978 we can own a Bazooka in Britain, your point is?
They make a cool fixed blade
Maybe I’ll check it out. They do make very sharp blades
For $19 it's a gimmick.They should have made it from cheaper steel and sold them at $5. Hultafors literally sells a their orange tradesman for €5.45.
I wouldn’t put that in my pocket. I picked up one to throw in my car for emergencies.
That's because you are a smart man. It's like Russian roulette trying to carry that thing in your pocket
Please send me this knife! I will carry it!
@ TahoeRealm Well said.

I'm with you man a safety would be nice so you can carry in you're pocket.
Agreed. Cool knife but I need something rigged that isn’t going to stab me
If it opens in you're pocket an makes a hole you lose you're keys.
