The Svord Peasant knife is a century old design that was brought back to the mainstream by B.W. Baker. This is a knife I have used and owned for a good long while, but have always been on the fence with regards to reviewing it. In practical terms: this is a very, very basic … [Read more...]

Spyderco Roadie Little Big EDC Slipjoint Knife Review
Over the past few years, the amount of Spydercos I've reviewed has dwindled. A lot of this is due to the relative high cost of the new stuff (Mamba anyone?) or what I would define as thoroughly uninspired designs (Polestar... what where you thinking Sal?!), but every once in … [Read more...]
Spyderco Pingo Slip Joint Everyday Carry Knife Review
When I heard that Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes were the designers behind the Spyderco Pingo, I was ecstatic. I always loved the unique minimalism that Anso and Vox brought to the table and this guaranteed that I would end up snapping this fella' up. Sadly (for me) the Pingo … [Read more...]
Lansky World Legal UK-Friendly EDC Folding Knife Review
The Lansky World Legal is one of the more interesting knives in my newly started "slipjoint" collection. The name "World Legal" implies a sense of legislative submission or social neutering, as if to say, "It's so harmless, it's world legal!" As you can see quite clearly … [Read more...]
Spyderco UK Penknife UKPK Slipjoint EDC Knife Review
In 2004, Spyderco took a huge risk and introduced the UK friendly UK Pen Knife (UKPK) for the first time. It was G-10 with a premium blade steel and in all ways but one, it fit the Spyderco line up. The primary difference being of course its lack of a lock. Historically … [Read more...]
Douk-Douk Traditional Slip Joint Pocket Knife Review
Since arriving back in the UK, my EDC choices have become quite heavily restricted by British Legislation. Instead of moping around the house clutching my over-sized Cold Steels, however, I took the opportunity to go out and buy some UK legal folders instead. Now, with over … [Read more...]
Spyderco Bug SS Tiny Folding EDC Keychain Knife Review
When the Spyderco Bug was announced I admittedly scoffed at the idea of a sub 3 inch (total length!) folder. What on earth could anyone do with a 1.27 inch blade? And yet, this tiny knife kept popping up in other people's pocket dumps and EDC showcases... So here I am - … [Read more...]
Case Seahorse Whittler Black G-10 Knife Review
Out of the entire Case catalog, no knife stands out to me quite as much as the Seahorse Whittler. With its unique primary blade and unorthodox proportions, I saw it and just had to test it out myself. After a number of months of owning it, it's actually become my main … [Read more...]
Case Sway Back Gent Red Bone Pocket Knife Review
I will have to admit before I start this review that this knife has been my Case Cutlery grail for the past couple of years. The Case Sway Back Gent comes dressed in what I think are some of the prettiest scales around. The particular model I chose, the "pocket worn old red … [Read more...]
Spyderco Urban Safety Orange G-10 Slip Joint Knife Review
I've been asked a few times already why I never seem to carry slip joints. Although I do have a few, they don't make up a large part of my collection, not because I have anything against slip joints, but because the knives I happen to like coincidentally happen to have … [Read more...]
