Perkin Pocket Knife Legal To Carry - TN400

Excellent little knife blade is under 3 inches so legal to carry, very sharp and comfy to use.

Knife looks awesome. The knife came razor sharp and with a great leather sheath. The hinge was a little rough at the start but after a few times opening and closing it smoothened out. The knife also had a slight difference in colour on either side, nothing excessive but surely noticeable. The blade is strong and the finish looks vintage but not old. I would highly recommend this knife to anyone who likes to collect knives or to use in day to day chores.

Item arrived enclosed in a plastic pouch filled with oil. Blade is also rusted in different points and covered by a black patina all over. Knife looks to be a good quality one so very let down.

Blade needed sharpening as it came quite blunt but it is nice and sharp now.The belt pouch is twice the size it needs to be so i will not use it and try to source a much smaller pouch.Handle scales were a much darker wood than the picture but i actually prefer it in darker wood.Nice size and comfortable to hold.Very sturdy and well built. The blade reassuringly clunks into place when open.Overall a nice, good value, high quality item.Had the blade been pre-sharpened and the pouch smaller it would be 5 stars.

Straight out the box 1st impression; phat, chunky, unfinished. 1 month EDC later; I love this knife. It'll take a little time on your part to make this thing yours... A few hours with a fine needle file to take the harshness out... I'm not good at sharpening knives but I got this scalpel sharp with very little effort.It takes me both hands to open. Once open there is zero blade movement, the slip joint action is very heavy and very positive. It's a great tool and I'm getting on with it.You might not be able to open this with one hand but closed, It fits very comfortably in a clenched fist and I, personally, wouldn't want a poke with the lanyard hole tag thing at the bottom of the handle.No, it's not finished. But it's perfectly rough.

The knife itself is solid very good value for money. However mine showed up dull, rusty and filled with dirt. Great product but not impressed with quality control.

Arrived oily with condensation on inside of knife package. Hands are now covered with black flakes from the blade, which also has rust. Very difficult to open and close, can feel/hear grating on inside. Wanted to give as gift, impossible. Otherwise it’s a great size and pretty wood.

This knife needed some fettling to smooth some edges and make it more comfortable to hold. A few minutes work with different grits rounded the spike-like handle base, and left the whole knife smooth in the hand and easier to work with, without irritation.I appreciate that at this price such hand finishing would put this excellent knife into another bracket, so am very happy with it. Its excellent and very sharp carbon steel blade makes it of course.An additional nail slot for left handed users would enhance its appeal. My four star ratings reflect "as is", and because of my point about time spent in finishing. Otherwise they too would be five.
