Review on πŸ”ͺ Toferner Original Gift: Celtic Pocket Knife - Hand Forged Blade, Vintage Art Collection by Ryan Koser

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautifully built; difficult to use

This is a very very cool little knife and while I am giving a three star rating I am seriously considering buying another. However, it has some very important disadvantages. Pros: It looks really good. I love the look of the hand forged knife. He's well sharpened. Handy Size: Fits nicely in a front pocket but is long enough to clip things. I wouldn't hesitate to dress a deer with this knife and a good stone to mend. Did I mention he looks great? Cons: Leather sheath could be much better; Several times I found myself with a knife without a sheath in my pocket, which can backfire if you keep your knives sharp. I had to glue a piece of leather to tighten it. The grip is a bit uncomfortable. Difficult to get a good enough grip for heavy cutting work. Durability is an issue. The tip broke off the first time I used it for heavy cutting work. To be fair, I used the knife for something it obviously wasn't designed for (cutting heavy, reinforced PE pipe) so I wouldn't take this "scam" too seriously. So, a cool knife for regular easy cutting after you modify the coating. Just don't cut anything that requires a strong blade or a firm grip.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
