Perkin Pocket Knife Legal To Carry - TN400

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.

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.

Perfect pocket knife and looks great.

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.

Again like other reviews, knife arrived with the black coating already peeling and also a red stain on the grip, knife is decently sharp and seems solid, but this has put me off buying this brand again

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

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.

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.
