This knife design is from centuries ago, so it may offend modern sensibilities. Even though I own other knives, I keep going back to this one. Its simple design is functional and reliable, paramount for any knife. The steel takes a razor edge and is easy to sharpen. It is carbon steel, so dry the blade before putting it away. The handle is comfortable for doing some serious work and the whole package weighs only a few ounces. The reviewer who said the handle flexes too much and is dangerous... did they even use the knife? Because the design is simple overall, it is strong. Your hand is the lock, because the extended tang is held against the handle while you use it. I have hit this knife with a baton, and it gladly takes the abuse. Against popular belief, the Peasant knife can be easily opened and closed with one hand. Just search for theWZZA's reviews on YouTube to see how. You can count on this knife for anything you want. I would not hesitate to rely on it in the outdoors.Read full review

Made in New Zealand. Swedish high carbon tool steel. Convex edge. Easy to sharpen steel, takes a wicked edge !!! Like the Opinel from France, this light duty knife might just be a little more capable than the vaunted Opinel #8. This little $20.00 knife punches (cuts) way above It's price range!!!! For the money, you just can't go wrong !!! Like the French Opinel, An incredible value. The steel is Just a marvel. Swedish axes and knives usually are!!! Anyway, are you a Stronv enough Peasant to own one of these??? Get one, you'll love it !!!! Marvin in Colorado Rocky Mtn.s

The Svord Peasant 141 is a inexpensive knife with a simple design. Out of the box it has a razor sharp blade, and after lots of heavy use holds that edge well.

Handle too thin has flex making it dangerous when it comes to use.

The fit and finish is very rough even for the price point. The design is highschool metal shop level. I'd give no stars but it does cut. Buy an Opinel instead.
