Did you make this sheath mate? Looks fantastic

I did, thanks mate.

I have a collection I’m very happy with. users, drawer queens, cheap, expensive. I work outdoors and this little Svord mini peasant is always in my pocket. It’s been absolutely hammered, used/abused daily, lost more than once, left out in the rain, leant to coworkers and generally not looked after at all. 2 mins on a strop and it’s good to go again… still performs faultlessly. Best £15 I ever spent!

Good choice. Brilliant knives.

Thread 'In Praise of the Svord Mini'

Sep 3, 2023

I bought this knife a few years ago, after buying the bigger one. I use it regularly, and it takes quite a hammering (literally, if using it for battening) in construction work, DIY, Scouts projects, bush/camping work, including cooking and general pocket knife duties.

The steel is good and it comes up sharp quite easily. The extended tang is a really good feature that allows it to be used more safely than a conventional non-locking folder. the basic handle (when cut down a bit) is good, doesn't swell like an Opinel and could be easily replaced DIY.

In my view, the Mini is a far more...
