Toferner Celtic Pocket Knife, Hand Forged Knife with Black Leather Case, Hardened Blade, Vintage, Antique Art Collecting, Original Gift Idea

This knife is really beautiful! I bought it for my Dad for Christmas, and will certainly be buying things from Toferner in the future for myself! It came sharp, but I decided to hone it just a bit before giving it to him, and in less then a minute I could literally shave with it. I also like how the swoop in the handle fits your front four fingers snuggly. This would give a lot of control to a user who was skinning or caping something out. Can you tell I like it yet? The only real downside to it is the sheath. While it's made well enough and has rawhide lacings down the business end side and has a brass rivet, The belt loop leather is much thinner leather than the rest of the sheath. It's held on with both a lower and top rivet, but regardless I think it would break eventually. That wouldn't matter in my family, because as a Skinner it would go in a pack and only be used for skinning. Belt loop aside, this is a great knife at a great price and I WILL be buying more of Toferner's products!! If it wasn't so close to Christmas this one would stay with me! LOL!

What an awesome knife !! the craftsmanship that went into creating this handheld knife is beautiful. I purchased this as my working athame to collect herbs and cut cords, split small pieces of Palo Santo wood an all around kind of a workhorse for my Wiccan practices. And the sharpness is amazing it works so well and feels great in the hand. The leather belt holder is an additional bonus it’s very sturdy getting the knife in and out of the leather holster is very comfortable and easy this is probably the first knife I have purchased that I have not made myself but this company has an excellent product and there are several other blades that I’ve seen that I will be getting in the future. !

Having used this knife for a month almost daily except weekends for work I can testify that this blade is quality. Craftsmanship is over the top. The blade has some weight to it, it is not light weight. It came razor sharp. The sheath is quality and does not rip or tear easily.I sharpen the blade every other day as I use it quite often as mentioned for work. I attach the sheath to my belt on my right hip so when I sit down it does not dig into my side. It has been through sand, mud, rain , lots of dirt. I have not experienced the sheath tearing apart as mentioned in other reviews, especially after using it daily. Other reviewer mentioned the user barely used the knife and the sheath ripped. It could have been a manufacturer issue. I will recommend this knife to anyone looking to gift or to use personally.UPDATE NOV 19th, 2021Still going strong, I continue to use this blade daily and in the elements. Sure it may get a little rust but that is minor and very easily cleaned off with the right technique. I sharpen it once a week. The sheath is still holding up and in good condition

It’s well-made, beautiful, and just what I wanted

Amazon continues to amaze me. I ordered this knife less than 20 hours ago!So it is obviously well crafted, has a good heft and fits my hand well but the edge leaves a whole lot to be desired . The edge is no problem though as I know a good honing will remedy that. So, as a commercial product this is a darn fine item. I can already feel my clothing starting to shift to home spun . My shoes are now gone and I am wondering what this tablet in my hands are. Look me up when you buy yours and we can compare life in ages past with these wonderful knives.

Good product for the money. You may need to touch up the edge upon arrival. Seems like it could have been sharpened better. Otherwise, it seems fine.

This is a very well made nice quality knife. Leather of the sheath is thick and sturdy; I like how it is designed. It holds the blade tight and safe.The blade itself is sharp; maybe, not shave-sharp, but sharp enough to be a functional blade. Handle is on a small side - definitely for someone with small to medium sized hands. This was a gift for my wife, so she is very happy with how it fits into her hand. I have to struggle with it a little, but in the end probably would be able to hold it comfortably as well.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. Oh and it arrived next day - wow!

Well made knife with a very unique look and feel. On the smaller side but a great gift for collectors.
