Show me your Svord Peasant and mini Peasant

captain spaulding · **on:** June 21, 2014, 12:27:57 AM

Just got my first Svord and I have to say I love the thing. The design has always intrigued me. I have heard they do not come very sharp, but mine is pretty sharp out of the box errr..... plastic sleeve.

I got the mini Peasant and am very pleased with the size. I took it apart to clean and I absolutely love how simple it is to take apart and put back together. I see a few more in my future. I am wanting the white as well as a wood handled model.

How me your Svords guys!

Nice work. I really like how thin it is.

Those are custom scales right?

Never mind. Just noticed they offer them in these Zinc scales. Very cool.

Is it riveted together?

I can't imagine that thin handle is comfortable to use, or are they meant to be modded with new scales?

This is the only pic I have right now. It's nice to have as a collector's piece but just don't see myself ever use it.

Sweet looking Svord.

I'm new to the Svords. What model is that?

That rough finish on the blue one gives it character. I imagine that metal stem of the blade would dig in your thigh while in your pocket.

You know I thought the same, but carried it today loose in my pocket with my keys, Style CS, lighter, and RAT I clipped to the pocket and I didn't notice and discomfort. I'm used to carrying a lot in my pocket though. I bet most people would probably find it uncomfortable loose in a pocket.

I have several but never use them. The metal handled ones rattle, move and feel unfinished. I think there is a s svord thread somewhere about the various models, but I am on tapa and can not search easily.

taaaaaaapaaaaaaas

It's the wood handled one with a little bit of reshaping. I took off the pointy end at the butt and made everything a bit more rounded, then refinished the handle with oil and varnish.

Now that I look at the picture more closely I see two different knives. I thought all four pictures were the same knife at first. I thought the Svord had a lockback on it.

I modified one recently. Gave it to a friend as a b-day gift.

Reversed and reshaped the handles. Made copper liners.

Very cool! I really like the look of it and you did a great job on it.

You wasted your palindromic post.

I never got feedback from kirk so may have to make some more for research.

I didn't want to use the red handled kitchen knives my wife bought to match her Christmas décor, so I reached into my nightstand and grabbed a knife I recently acquired, a mini Peasant.

It worked quite well for food prep
