Very nice knife!
The knife is exactly what I was looking for. I especially like the way the blade is held open with my thumb. The only reason I did not give a 5 star review is that the knife tip does not quite sit inside the handle groove. If you look at the photo carefully, you can see what I mean. It is a tiny difference, but I worry it could snag a loose thread. This is a knife I can use, not just prop piece.

Well made
Great little knife built true to history for a great price. Handle is solid and blade takes a good edge, the brass rivet hold solid. Made to last.

18th Century knife
If you are looking for a good knife for reenacting the 18th (or even the mid 19th) Century, this is the knife. It take a bit of getigng use to that it is not spring loaded nor a lockback. It does, however stay closed when closed. I did sharpen it a bit, but greatly enjoy this knife.
