I know you too well

Has anyone that said they were thinking of getting one taken the plunge yet? Any thoughts?

I haven't carried another folder since it arrived. At home for four days now though so the law doesn't matter. Bring on the lockers

If I find a cheap green one , I am all over it

I might have too wait a bit though

Asides from the bulkiness, I'm quite liking it

Benner · **Reply #64 on:** October 02, 2010, 11:34:46 AM

It is bulky, but that just makes it easier to use for me.

Loving the friction folder method. Feels a lot safer than slippies.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #65 on:** October 02, 2010, 11:42:10 AM

Oh it's definitely a lot safer in use, and I'm a lot more comfortable using this hard than I would say a sak

Did you go for a colour or for wood Mike?

I've always wanted to be just like you

I am such a hero

Sparky415 · **Reply #71 on:** October 02, 2010, 12:02:40 PM

I guess it would be hard to loose

And you can always make some nice wood scales for it when you get bored

You have always been mine Ben

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #72 on:** October 02, 2010, 12:04:29 PM

Nah I'm liking the green, and am even thinking of getting one for my boy when he's old enough as his first knife, as it's a lot safe than a MFV to use

I just received an orange and a green for two MTO members, whom may or may not identify themselves at some point.

Ben, your review is right on. They are a very simple, useful, hardworking knives. While I haven't sharpened or cut with either of the two here, I have held and examined both.

I was particularly impressed with the feel. The knife fits well in the hand and has good balance. I can envision the Peasant Knife being very useful in the garden for nipping off okra or wilted flower tips, possibly some light pruning. The orange would seem to be a nifty woods knife for the hunter or hiker, definitely easy to find if dropped or laid aside.

At last check, my supplier had all the colors and the wooden handled version in stock. Anyone looking for a source can PM me and I will reply with pricing and availability.

The GREENone is mine

. It has been put aside for when the MTO MicroToolclips are ready & will make a great x-mas present for me

Thanks again Travis

Benner · **Reply #75 on:** October 14, 2010, 02:54:19 PM

Excellent choice

markn951 · **Reply #76 on:** October 15, 2010, 01:23:36 AM

Well I chose to be unique and go with ORANGE.
It's in the mail from Travis... man I can't wait to get it!!

Deere Man · **Reply #77 on:** October 15, 2010, 06:12:51 AM

An inexpensive, quality, simple pocket knife. What's not to love? I may have to pick up a wooden handled version. Just what I needed, another way to spend money I don't have.

Thanks for the review man, never heard of these before today.

Benner · **Reply #78 on:** October 15, 2010, 12:48:09 PM

No worries buddy.

If this review gets just a handful of people to pick one up then it's all worth it.

Travis Autry · **Reply #79 on:** October 18, 2010, 02:41:11 AM

I'm working on a deal to keep a few pieces in stock. In the meantime, anyone with a specific color request is welcome to PM me and I'll reply with pricing.

jzmtl · **Reply #80 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:52:56 AM

Well you almost made me get one, but after some consideration I decided against it,, just don't see when I'll ever use it, given it's bulkiness.

Benner · **Reply #81 on:** October 18, 2010, 11:13:46 AM

Although bulky, due to it's banana shape, it is actually more comfortable than most folders to carry. It is also very light, so half the time I don't even know it's there. The bulkiness just adds to the comfort when in use.

I feel a bit guilty now

I ordered a wood handled Svord peasant knife for a friend that wants a legal cheap user,
I told him that when they come they need a bit of work to make them nice (like my one is now)
Maybe this slipped by QC, To be honest if this had turned up and I was expecting something I could use straight out of the packet I would have been disappointed
The handles were more than a bit rough and the edges of each side were not symmetrical
The guilt comes in because I have encouraged people on here to buy one and also because I don't feel I am being loyal to a make of knife that I really like
So the fact that the knife needs a bit of work to make it nice does not bother me but this is more a warning to people not to expect a well finished knife but you will get a knife that with a bit of work will turn in to something very usable
I hope I am not putting too many people off by what I have written as its really just to balance all the praise I have given this knife in the past

I'm pretty sure most of us recommended the plastic handled ones.

Sparky415 · **Reply #84 on:** October 20, 2010, 06:24:28 PM

I really like my wood handled one and I'm sure this one will be as good when I've done,

I didn't want to mislead anyone

Benner · **Reply #85 on:** October 20, 2010, 07:53:42 PM

The cheap plastic one is the one to go for I reckon.

MultiMat · **Reply #86 on:** October 21, 2010, 01:23:41 AM

Maybe Svord knows about you already Tony.

"That is the guy with the Bonkers sander,Bro just send him a unfinished knife "

I think most people here like to tinker/improve so I do not think any harm has been done & besides I got a GREEN one so I am set

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #87 on:** October 21, 2010, 07:07:14 AM

Nice one matt

Sparky415 · **Reply #88 on:** October 21, 2010, 10:52:24 AM

Yep you are probably right

jzmtl · **Reply #89 on:** October 23, 2010, 10:30:31 AM

How long is the thing when closed? Everybody say how much is blade and how much is open, but never closed.
