My husband loves it

I'm of Irish decent (I got the celtic cross pattern case), and my husband is Navajo. I gave this to him on our wedding day over a year ago. He absolutely loves it. He always has it on him, or in the Jeep. He uses it for everything from cutting the plastic bands off the hay and straw bales when he feeds the animals, to using it to cut up apples for the horses. He uses it all the time and it is still like new. This knife is extremely durable! The leather case fits perfectly and looks great in spite of what he puts it through. He has loads of knives, but this one is his favorite and most used. I'm so glad I got it! I didn't have a lot of money at the time, but I wanted to give him something special. This little knife was/is beautiful, and was relatively inexpensive. I would recommend this knife wholeheartedly! It has been really used to it's full potential and is still sharp, as well as a unique conversation piece.

Very cool gift for someone.

Very nice sharp little knife well-made and nice sheath

I've been using this a lot, I love the little thing. Only one problem, the blade was not sharp enough. I could feel a nick or two right out of the package. Good thing it can be sharpened. I just need to buy a wet stone now. I did expect this to be sharper out of the box though, since it's hand forged and nicely crafted otherwise.

The sheath for it is a lot lighter of a color than expected and the string it comes with is shedding. The knife itself is absolutely amazing. Feels great quality and it’s the perfect size to carry around to feel protected. I love collecting knives and swords and the like so to add this to my collection makes me very happy. I’ve been trying to embody a more cottagecore/ hobbitcore style and this little knife is perfect for that.

These small knives were a must-have during the Dark Ages. They were used mainly at the table to cut up Roast Beast. In those days the fork had not been invented. Spoons for the table were unknown also.You had two tools to eat with. A knife and your fingers. It had to be a messy affair. I read about one young lady who married a local Prince. She could not abide eating with her fingers. She had a two pronged fork like device made out of silver. When she used it at a dinner party the guests were horrified. Her social status fell faster than a crypto coin. They said it looked the Devil's tongue. Just ahead of her time.This knife is very well made. It came sharp out of the box but improved with a very swipes on my RADA sharpener (from Amazon). I followed up with a ceramic stick to remove tiny burrs. The sheath is quite nice and well made. The leather thong they include was used as a belt to tie the knife around the waist.I'm sure not every big hairy dude back then used one so small. I would have opted for a small skinning knife with a real handle. As an aside, a homemade fork made out of bone was found in China. It was several centuries older than the Dark Ages. Someone cut grooves in the bone and made a crude fork.My knife is used as a display only. I wouldn't consider packing it around, but you certainly could. For collectors it's a solid buy.

Really sturdy utility type blade. Crazy sharp and deceptively solid. Its small size, and the included convenient leather sheath & cord make ot easy to keep close.
