Customer Reviews
Clever design, but fit & finish utterly fails
By Richard L. on October 19, 2019I give it three stars when it barely deserves two, because I really want to like Sword, not only because it has invested in a novel and ancient knife design, but also because they are made in New Zealand, which is just plain cool.
But this purchase -- my third from Svord -- will be my last. Each knife has arrived with significant production Read more issues. This knife is nowhere near as embarrassing as the ridiculous "zero metal" plastic folder of the same general shape, but it is nearly as unusable.
That the knife is rustic in design does not excuse the poor machining, especially on the tang, and the sloppy blade grind yielding an edge best described as "chaotic". The spurs on the catch the handle slot on the way in, disrupting the open and making it very difficult to close. Of course you can files the spurs down, and you can also loosen the brass screw (one of two) at the base of the handle, if you dare. But the spurs should not be there in the first place.
My guess is that there are some Svord specimens that leave the factory in much better shape. Imagining those knives, it is somewhat easier to offer praise for the knife's curve, weight and balance. It is undeniably pretty.
But I will not be fooled a fourth time.
