Perkins knives

[bushferret]

Has anybody had an experience with Perkins knives. They look to good to be true, bone/leather handles, damascus blades, large/small knives.

Looking at their website I get a sneaky suspicion that they might be by a knife trader with a certain ignoble history...

It's not noble. But it is similar Pakistani steel. The fact that they're permanently on offer tells you all you need to know.

Check Alibaba for actual prices of similar in bulk.

I don't own any, but the website, amazon shopfront and posts on Britishblades and NaturalBushcraft make me think of James Noble and the like, so these knives are likely poorly made in Pakistan, and as you said above, to good to be true.

Perkins knives was once thought to be an alias of James Noble over on BB, but the link was never proven as definite, so therefore removed as such.

Save your hard earned and purchase elsewhere, unless you are a collector of monkey metal that is
