Great to see a svord on here, excellent value knives. Get better soon Pete.
Thanks for all the awesome videos
I've got the mini peasant and it's a handy little backup type knife. Good slicer with a reprofiled edge
Strange I've just ordered one of these, the mini version. Was wondering how the L6 would hold up. Question answered and happy with the result √
Kool little knife made to cut.
Thanks Pete
Ooh looking forward to seeing S90V and 20CV. It a fan of S90V on the blades that I have, but 20CV is a favorite and Benchmade does a great job with it.
Edge design effects retention big time. That 4116 German stuff is really soft steel and it rolls very easy BUT if you convex the edge I've found that it works very good. I bought the Cold Steel Peace Maker 2 which is like the Mora 2000 but has a much thicker and slightly longer blade. The knife comes with the worst handle and sheath I've ever seen because its a boot knife they made the handle super thin. I gave the 4116 a nice scandivex edge and now its one wicked woods knife.
I decided to make it my first knife handle project and cut off the rubber grip, its very easy but making a wood handle was a huge task by hand. I carved everything and sand papered the shape by stabbing the knife into log and using a sandpaper belt by hand to shape the grip. Drilling out the hole for the handle was a pain and making the hilt from another piece of wood is really tough work but it all paid off in the end. It now looks like an actual real knife with a Mora Companion shape but better, you should try doing one brother its really fun and something different to do. I plan on getting some Mora or Condor blanks cause now that I know how to do it the next time should be way better.
L6 is a fine grained steel, it does rust very fast and leaves a weird metallic taste when food prepping with it. It's definitely better than 1055, 1075, 1095 or 5160 carbon steels, but hard to find. Not many people use L6 to make knives.
Felix Zaragoza i wish it was easyer to find! I love L6 when im able tp get my hands on it, the knives i make are ungody tuff
I love my Svôrds. My golok is a beast on anything green with factory geometry. From grass to trunks. I prune my big trees with it, clear brush and cut paths through the broomgrass. It doesn't do as well on dead/dry stuff, but it's hefty enough to just smash through dry blackberry and dead brush. Good square spine, and makes a good draw knife. Batons well...I've babied it in that department. I love it. More than my Terävä Skrama. I did have a soft spot for my early Western W49. I loved that knife. I made so much money with it. Waaaah.
I've been wanting one of these knives for awhile. Hmm gotta pick one up now I think
Posting madly tonight my good sir.
Always wanted a forged L6 Bainite blade.
In your other video you were talking about getting a high hardness 440c to test, and it got me thinking about VG-10. People have been saying that Spyderco's VG-10 is soft, and I bet the Fällkniven would be as well because it's an outdoors knife. If you ever get a VG-10 SOG or McCusta through your door could you try them out? Thanks Pete great vid as usual.
+Rodrigo Teresa definitely, keen to expand all my steel numbers!
i have a Mcusta, it is damascus and vg-10 core. i will probably never ever use that knife, its just to pretty. i did cut a sheet of paper with it, its possibly my most sharp knife out of the box ive ever got.
overall not a huge fan of vg-10 tho. just to much chipping. my favorite thing about it tho is its so easy to sharpen. i think its a better steel for a larger knife like the falkniven or a chefs knife.
I love mine so far
David pyper :p your welcome awesome to see it on here friend
+davidpyper82 thanks again dave!
I have a Mini Peasant. It's a Roman Peasant knife made in New Zealand from a high-carbon Swedish tool steel called Sanvik L7 not L6, that Svord uses with a proprietary tempering formula to create an outstanding blade at a crazy cheap price. Svord makes their money from selling lots of knives instead of selling fewer at a larger profit. I filed that point off the back of the handle. It's a great EDC and you can drop it and so what? It's tough and inexpensive and perfect for what it is, a great blade that holds an edge EXTREMELY well with the most simple handle design and being able to grab that tang as you reach into your pocket is something you get used to right away.
Yep, it is amazing still.
Yep. It's supposed to be 15N20. just checked. It supposed to be a cheaper band saw steel....but possibly without molybdenum chromium and vanadium.
The older Peasant knives are L6
Love you videos. You mentioned a "steel app". What is it called and for what plateform? (iOS?)
+Mark Steddom its called 'knife steel composition chart' by zknives. enjoy!
Thank! Great info,
Hey Pete, I've downloaded the mobile version of this App and also have visited the desktop version. I can't find anywhere on either where Rockwell Hardness is noted. Am I missing something? Thanks!
Nice test. Svord actually uses 15N20 steel. It is similar to L6 but not the same.
So essentially this is the steel used when the description lists "carbon steel"
The older Peasant knive were made of L6
With that color and when it's closed, it looks like a chili pepper! Wait a minute. Maybe it *is* a chili pepper and that's why you had a coughing fit!
3:34 *watches in 2020* THE RONA!!!
Svord hasn't made peasants from L6 in some time.
+flashdamingo oh nice, its a classic model! What are they now?
+Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors As far as I can find out it's L7. Low alloy chromium tool steel.
how come you haven't tested 80crv2 yet?

I have this knife =P
Got it free
Have you got a secret dual New Zealand/Australia nationality you need to come clean about before you review the peasant? It can lead to all sorts of problems.
first of all, that's a knife, not a sword
second, don't call me a peasant
So it's built like a traditional straight razor, then. Nice for a razor, but for a knife I predict this novelty without any kind of even modest lock will fail.
That's not what I am talking about. Even a slipjoint has a token lock, as in its blade does flap around unless you squeeze it tight.
"works quite well" -- Great, keep it.
This is the oldest design of folding knife dating back around 2000 years, and was especially popular among country folk in Bavaria and Bohemia about 3-4 centuries ago, hence the name. So ''novelty'' (derived from the Latin for ''new'') isn't really the appropriate word lol.
@@simonh6371 "lol" -- Sigh. This is not 3000 years ago now. Try looking at the calendar one day. Just because someone in ancient times used it, doesn't mean it isn't a novelty in the modern world context. If this is too hard for you to comprehend (and judging from your sophomoric "lol", it is), let's end this pointless conversation now.
@@mountainhobo Are you talking to yourself??? You are the one who called it a novelty in the modern world.
