4Not as good as expected. I had to return the first one as the handle was cracked & had obviously been filled, there was also damage to the wood near the lock release catch. The issues was dealt with swiftly by F&T who quickly sent a replacement. Would I buy again? Probably not.Anonymous

5I bought this knife to clean up saw cuts on large branches when Winter pruning of fruit trees. I then paint on anti fungal stuff. I haven’t actually used the knife yet, but I know that it will work because the blade it very, and it is almost identical to bone handled one I lost that had been in the family for about 150 years. Fortunately, yours has this little loop on it, so I can put a wire hook on it and hang it on a tree branch, or put the hook on the tree.
I am an engineer and know that the design is excellent. My only slight criticism is that to open it you have press against a quite strong spring to unlock it. I really cannot see why this is necessary. I have had many penknives. Always, the same spring holds the blade both open or closed. You don’t have to unlock it.
But thank you. I look forward to using it.John Nolan

1Disappointed that the wooden grip on one side has a split for approximately one third of its length. Concerned that this may extend and that the inlay may become unattached.
We would be happy to exchange this for you - it does sound like there is a problem with it as it`s most unusual for something like that to happen, as wood is a natural product perhaps there was some weakness in that particular piece. Please click here to organise the replacement using our free returns service:

5This was a wonderful, quality knife ordered as a gift with name engraved. Very pleased with it and would recommend.
One point though, clearer instructions on which end to open the box and pull knife out would be good, as I cut my finger trying to get the knife out to view the engraving!
But great service and great product. Lucy Boulter

5I was delighted with all aspects of this purchase. The service initially I received was friendly and I formative.
The website easy to negotiate and clear.
I was updated and informed, which was positively viewed.
The actual product ‘does what it says on the box’ as they say. No complaints there.
I have since returned to browse the website several times looking for possible presents for family and friends.
My only concern it that you make it too easy to spend my hard earned cash on lovely well made gifts!!!
Thank you, and thank all your staff that dealt with my order and demonstrated such thoughtfulness.
With regards.

3After I recurved my knife , which was good but not very sharpe , I’d did contact you customer services , not regarding my purchase but concerning your policy on sending bladed items through the post .
I have bought bladed items before and always had to sign on receipt , no such check from yourself which is concerning .
Your customer services ignored my
email which was even more concerning . Geoff Jarvis

5Having bought one for our daughter at Christmas time, I was so impressed that I've bought one for my wife for the coming gardening season. The handle has a lovely feel to it, and the blade is top quality with a strong folding mechanism. Very pleased with the company too as I received it in a short space of time.Brian

5This is a very well made and great looking knife. A nice weight and shape and it should last for years. The blade is very sharp and more than big enough for most jobs. The locking catch is very stiff and requires strong hands but I think thay may ease with use over time. Just what I was looking for to replace my old knife that has now seen better days and I am looking forward to spring and getting out in the garden so I can use this!Andrew
