So I bought a Svord peasant...

Also even after the tail trim, the dang thing is still 6 3/4" closed!

Those edges look a bit smoother now

I shortened the top blade and added a finger choil to the bottom one (and Oak scales) so they are under 3”

Love the finger choil mod Tony 
Neat scales too

Thanks Mate, There’s more pictures somewhere

Those edges look a bit smoother now 

Heh I did went a bit overboard with the sander, it's now around 20° inclusive. The edge on the other side is a bit more dramatic due to the low primary grind.

I was talking about the scales but that looks like you’ve done a great job
And they are fun to work on

Ah, well at least they are the same shape now lol.

Now those are very interesting.  I have never seen such a knife until now

I had one for a couple of years and then last month I swapped it for something I thought was a fair swap, but it turned out to be crappy. I really regret it.

Mine had wooden scales, and once you've worked on them a bit it's pretty comfortable to use, and the steel is fantastic at taking an edge. I'd recommend them for the money.

Yes, thanks for that but I can't justify the cash, and how would I learn my lesson if I just bought myself a new one eh?

[sparky415]

Yep I'm just a bad influence
