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.
