Reasons Why I Shouldn’t Get A Svord Micro Peasant With Titanium Scales UPDATED - PICS ADDED

[Jsega51]

“Micro Peasant“ sounds like the name for a novelty sex toy you’d find at a truck stop in South Dakota. Hard pass.

Not understanding putting expensive scales on such a crudely made knife?

Granted you / we can do anything you want and more power to you, but if you are looking for a reason not to do something that might be a good one. It's like putting ivory grips on a Saturday night special, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

It’s titanium. Not like the OP is having it encrusted in diamonds.

Nope, as a said he can do whatever he wants it's his money. I was merely taking him at his word and giving him a reason not to do it. In this case it seems like the scales might be worth as much as the knife. I don't put fancy tires on mundane cars or put fancy optics on airsoft guns either. Maybe it's just me.

Don’t do it! The handles are too thin. Blade isn’t a super steel. No lock, you’ll cut your fingers...


Ah, sh!t. I found the best reason to talk you out of it. You already had one.

Yet.

Or have it bedazzled.

 

[PQGK]

Can't think of any reason. Get one

 

[gazz98]

Don't do it. You can't baton with that. I watched a few yutube videos, you can only buy a knife that batons a respectable piece of wood with a diameter greater then 3".

Need something for a keychain and this seems logical.

So talk me out of it.

It looks like really bad qc. You could probably make one that is better.

It may be a Benchmade.

It's literally called a peasant knife. If you buy one you are a self proclaimed peasant...

I did eat at Taco Bell last night.

 

[Zuluninja]

why do people go to a knife forum to ask about NOT getting a knife, just to go ahead and get it?

Well, no need to cut anything at taco bell so no need for a svord knife.

I have a few large and small Svords(in both plastic and wood handle), but the Titanium keychain one is definitely my least favorite one.

Unlike it's larger siblings, the blade don't really 'wedge' into the handle(like a real friction folder), and I have to either tighten the pivot screw really tight(so it won't accidentally open) or carry it with a sheath. Also, the ultra thin handle is totally not user friendly, a pretty far cry from the original design.

Personally, I would much rather to stick with a small Svord or a small SAK, YMMV.

Thanks for the input.

Thankfully I can return it if I’m not satisfied.
