"New" Svord peasant knife (scales)
on: February 03, 2012, 03:27:23 PM
I bumped on this by accident.

New Svord with metal handles..and an extra screw...

What next? SS blades?  :D

They look quite nice, to me!

Look nice to me too. :)  The thinner scales will take a bit of bulk out I'd think, plus the purple colour is very striking IMO.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

I know I have made some scales for mine using brass screws but I think these would look better with black screws   :salute:

I'm liking the orange at the moment  :tu:

 :drool: Those Are Just Gorgeous.
And I Agree Sparky.
Black Screws Would Really Go Well.

Maybe That's The Next Surprise!

I'm not feeling it. I liked the old 2 screws design better.

Were is the GREEN version  :think: :think: :think:.

It looks like the 3rd fastener has replaced the pin that acted as the blade stop on the earlier Peasants  :think:. I wonder how robust the finish is  :think: :think:
I would get a green one if they make one.

Sounds great Tony when do you think you will have it ready for me  :pok: :P :D :D.

If it is stainless steel getting paint to stick & then stay(think Leatherman Micras  ::) :D) is a challenge  :think: :think:

 :pok: Can't you see the Orange on Al?

 :D

A nice maroon would be good, or a bright vivid yellow. Orange is just mixing those two good things together and ending up with something less special ... a bit like roast beef and custard

@ Al,
 :twak:  I hate custard!

@Mat,
I reckon if you start off with a painted one the new paint should stick OK  :think:
Its too cold here for painting at the moment, this needs to be tried in a warm country  :D

As I said originally, I would want to see an SS version, to keep up with the needs of modern peasants. (Just 440A will do me fine).
Same goes for the makers of Higonokami knives.

Incidentaly, some of the new Svords are available on eBay (If you live somewhere where knives are not considered too dangerous to be bought by peasants,  :D not in the UK )for around $25, similar to the wooden handled version, i.e. not bad.

  :twak:  Ebay wont let us buy anything that's a bit pointy

Us UK peasants have to shorten the blade by a few mm if we want to EDC them  ;)

Its all in the interest of your own safety. Remember:

the Government allways knows best!
In the UK I allways had a locking folder on my key chain all the time, a gift bought for me from Halfords...
Never stabbed anybody with it, never felt the need to... though a couple of people were surprised I had it; not for any legal related reasons, they just did not see the point of carrying something dangerously pointy.

I can understand the third screw for a backspring; it'd make casting the scales cheaper, most likely.  I think I'll stick to either the plastic or wood scaled models, though, personally.

I like their Kiwi General Outdoors knife, though. :drool:
