Theres a few 'pimped' ones ive seen where owners reduce the blade length to legal edc...

From what I can make out the thing to do with the Svord is ground the back of the blade off with a dremmel or grinder. This shortens the blade to under 3" without effecting the actual cutting ability of it. Some people have also stated that because the knives are quite rough and ready a fair few of them just turn up at slightly under 3" anyway so do not need altering. I think the Svord makes a great survival back up knife as it looks like it could take a beating and could cope with splitting wood.

Another decent single blade knife that you might want to look at is the Rough Rider Stockman You can get them for about £8.75 delivered and they are well made for that level of money. If space is a consideration and cash not so much look at a small Douk-Douk knife.

google morris friction folder or k'roo friction folder for more compact variants of the style

both are very reasonably priced
