A very nice folder knife.
I ordered a cKc hiker which is almost the same but a fulltange version of the peasant.

hiho, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Got straight in. Nice write up. I've got three of 'em; simple, useful and no tears if one gets lost in the grass.
That is a very nice write up! Good work!
Hard to beat for the price. I also have the full tang hiker and I use it to death as a utility knife. It's a very handy necker.
I think I would cry if I lost mine - especially as I made it a nice 3mm belt sheath with a Celtic Knot design as a replacement for the naff one it came with!
I get a "do not have permission" too.
Just a thought, looking at the thread it seems the article works for full members, but not us freeloaders!

I got one of these recently, it's now the knife I reach for before any other including my fixed blades.
I just got a Svord Peasant Knife with wooden scales as a Birthday gift. I really, really like it, it came very sharp out the box and I like the feel of it in my hand. I had to adjust the tension (as it advises) otherwise I could see myself lopping a finger off trying to fold it.
A couple of things to note. As may have been mentioned it's not a legal EDC in the UK as the cutting edge is a little longer than 3". A lot of people change the tip of the knife to a drop point. I have (less drastically) ground the last little bit nearest the tang into a sloping flat edge that could not be misconstrued as a cutting edge. Doing it this way means if I ever want to reclaim the length I can do.
The other thing was that the scales are a little out - the don't line up at the front and back. I was a bit disappointed with this and had it not been a gift I may have been tempted to swap it for another. However a little time with the dremel and they match OK now. (Also I'm thinking of eventually making my own scales for this).
All in all bigger, but lighter than expected. A very capable tool that I'm very pleased with despite a couple of small issues that we're fairly painless to rectify. A simple concept that works well.
Love it.

the peasant is a great knife for the price. i have one with the black scales. sharp as sharp out of the box and after a strop i can shave with it.
i guess its one of those really simple ideas that hits the nail on the head right away.

Is it counted as a locking blade though??
If it is then I'm pretty sure It would be illegal to carry as a utility knife.
Just wondering

Nope
Friction folders like the Svord are not considered locking knives. The only issue you might have would be with the blade length if you didn't take steps to ensure it fell under the 3" maximum. Ahh the joys of S139.

is it the bade or the cutting edge that has to be less than 3 " to be carried as a utility knife ??
