Svord Peasant Orange Only

[saddler]

Dunno IF its allowed, as such...but if not please can a Mod contact me??

I'm trying to run a Group Buy for the above knives - estimated price to be £11 delivered each.

Only problem = I need to get 100 MINIMUM on the order as ORANGE is a whole new handle colour option for the Peasant

I'm running the GB on British Blades, total number of knives ordered (as of NOW) is 41

So, I'll split the order over more than one forum to try to get to the magic ton mark...

See this for the live current state of play of the GB:
http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1224257&highlight=orange+peasant#post1 224257

READ THE BB GB 1st - same rules re. posting names, etc. applies

Add names below please....

PayPal will have to be up-front prior to delivery = as I'm not a millionaire & don't know many folk on here....

Please use ONE SPACE per knife, no "x 1" "x 2" etc.
If you would like 2, take 2 spaces....(same as the way its been done on the other half of the Group Buy on BritishBlades)

Keeps it easier then to see running total on order, etc.

Good to see a few folk already...the more the merrier :)
IFyou don't know how good these knives are do a bit of 'net research....
A big plus is the blade length means they're UK Legal as they've not got a locking arrangement but cannot close up on you as the tang is under your hand.
The steel takes a razor edge very easily too!

Could you remove me from the list please. I bought one from heinnies instead as they have the wooden handled ones in stock and I needed an EDC for staring my uni course in a couple of weeks.

[bushcrafty1]

Well could you put me down for scottishwolfs one then as i was thinking about getting 2 anyways.

Thats now 101 on order between the 2 sites, will keep this open a little while longer to catch any stragglers/late-arrivals

The Group Buy HAS reached the MINIMUM ORDER Qty that Svord stipulated for the new ORANGE handle colour....so the Group Buy WILL be going ahead!! :)

OK

As you're no doubt aware, BCUK has been down for maintenance for a while

The MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY HAS BEEN REACHED!!!

The Group Buy WILL go ahead!!!

I'm in the process of transferring enough funds to cover the purchase from PayPal to my bank....as soon as the funds are in my account I will order

SO = any more for any more?? You have about 3 to 5 days MAX to add more knives to your order or put your name down if you've not already done so

I'll keep people updated on the order status, when it's s been shipped from New Zealand & when it's landed here...etc.

Once I have the Peasants here & have paid the Import Duty/Tax I'll then know the unit cost & will let people know - it should STILL be approx £11 inc. postage

I'll give payment instructions THEN...PayPal is easiest, but I will also do cheque, etc.

The Peasants will be mailed with proof of posting ONLY, as unless you have ordered 4 or more then insurance will not be cost effective.

If you have questions drop me a line

Thanks Lewis

[Mikey P]

It's all gone quiet.....perhaps Svord are having to buy in tons of steel specially and is mobilising the additional workforce as we speak.

I'm quite excited, as you can probably tell....

[saddler]

UPDATE:

1. My PC died so I am not on here as often as I was (library refuse me 24 hour access for some reason)

2. The order was placed about 10 days ago - I'll post updates as & when I get a chance/news from NZ on how he's coping/not coping, etc.

TTFN

Jon

thanks for keeping us upto date Jon :)

Thanks for the update - cant wait :-)

Was just reading the Thread on British Blades.
I am really looking forward to getting these in the post,

THANKS VERY MUCH for organising this group buy

theres also a picture of the scales in a box as well :)

[Bushcraftsman]

What actually happening with these I'm confused, Also, can't get on the BB site to read the thread

[tagnut69]

Is it too late for me to order one

Cheers

Chris

[Mikey P]

I think it is too late now - the order went in a week or so ago. You might be lucky if someone pulls out of if a few extra have been ordered.

I believe that the order is made in NZ, delivered to the UK, then we will be told what the final cost is (delivery, import tax and VAT shared equally between all customers), we pay by Paypal, we get Svord in orange.

Simples. ;)

[Ratbag]

Is it too late for me to order one

I have 2 on order, you can buy one of those if there aren't any other spare ones kicking around.

[chelks]

Anyone got n update - given the forum being down and the new on BB about this buy ?

[BorderReiver]

AFAIK things are in hand. The original group buy bod has gone AWOL for whatever reason but Danzo has stepped in and with offers of help, is trying to get the train back on the rails.

Don't despair, she'll be right.:D

That's good to hear cos I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a Svord :), nice one Danzo.

Hope everything is OK with Jon (saddler).

[Danzo]

Hi everyone

The group buy will be going ahead. Jon Moore has unfortunately not been in touch with Svord for many weeks and Bryan the owner was getting very worried as he was sitting on 135 knives worth almost NZ$3000. We exchanged several concerned emails

I promised Bryan that BB/BCUK would not let him down, and last night spoke to Jon who has promised me that he will get Bryan the money by Monday.

I'm not sure how things will progress after that, but everyone should get the knives they have requested.

Danzo

[hiho]

cheers for the update Danzo

[Logit]

im up for one if going spare!

[Kikatito]

nice one Danzo, thanks for the info, its good to know this is still breathing.

[lub0]

I don't mean at all to be rude, but I really don't see the attraction for this "SVORD PEASANT" after watching that youtube review video linked to on page 1 of this thread!! Don't get it...

[FGYT]

because its easy and cheap to change the handles and modify it etc

ATB

Duncan

tho i want an orange one to pair with my orange clipper

[BorderReiver]

I don't mean at all to be rude, but I really don't see the attraction for this "SVORD PEASANT" after watching that youtube review video linked to on page 1 of this thread!! Don't get it...

A good, strong knife which is EDC-able and cheap enough to lose or give away. Fun to play about with too.:)

Thank you Logit for covering my embarrassment on pulling out of this GB.

Three months of havering and then finding that Jon Moore now seems to have 135 knives (well, paid for anyway) but appears to have vanished into the aether just gives me bad vibrations and I wanted out before the recriminations start to bounce around.

I trust that this all goes well in the end and that Danzo's efforts are repaid, he has my thanks.

[DFCA]

I just checked out the thread on the British Blades forum and it appearsd that John Moore has made the payment to Bryan.

Wonder how long the next stage will take ;)

All the best
Dave

[Pryderi]

Firstly I would just like to thank Danzo for his efforts.

Quick question to Danzo as he is in touch with Saddler (the chap who organized this group buy).I wondered if you could tell us if there any reason preventing him from posting on here to give us some updates?

This the first group buy I've participated in and I'm starting to get a little twitchy to say the least. An update from the chap who is organizing it might put a few peoples minds at rest given that its him we are going to be sending the money to and sending the knives out

As you say on British Blades its all about trust and confidence.

[saddler]

The ORANGE Peasants are IN the UK - but Parcel Farce have not delivered them to the depot for collection - resulting in a wasted hour round trip to collect them...
I was told by letter that they were ready for collection in Edinburgh - but as of 12.30 today I was in the Edinburgh depot & the knives had left Coventry an hour prior to that: I was assured that they SHOULD have left there on the 2nd but were held back by Customs an extra 2 days!!!

They SHOULD be ready to mail out starting on Monday...maybe Saturday if they get here tomorrow...

I'll check who still wants them - as the total outlay so far is just under £1600 on this GB - so I'm keen to get these mailed out (it's a fair chunk of change for a self employed leatherworker)

Unit cost for ONE knife is £13.21 delivered by RM First Class AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee
Unit cost for TWO knives is £25.90 delivered by RM First Class AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee
Any orders UNDER £39 will be covered by standard Royal Snail insurance & everything WILL have proof of posting...
Any order for over £39 will possibly have to go by Signed For - or by more than one package, whichever the buyer prefers – that is £0.75 extra

PayPal will be the easiest payment method - make sure to include FULL address details & your list position number/forum name – & state BCUK too please!!

PayPal address: mooreleather at yahoo dot co dot uk

(change the "at" to an @, and the "dot"'s to a "." - no spaces)

Apologies for lack of presence on here while my PC was down - had a few side issues ongoing at the same time too - but all back to normal again now!

PM me or e-mail at the above address with any questions,

Cheers

Jon

[Logit]

Paypal just sent, along with address details and BCUK forum name. I had one knife at £13.21.

Many thanks,

[Kikatito]

is anyone else having problems accessing paypal? My comp will load up the main page but once i click on log in it attempts to load a page but goes nowhere....really annoying as i want to get the knifes paid for so i get them in my hand asap.......

[Kikatito]

okay all sorted now. paypal sent to you Jon. Included are all my details as requested.
so the PM sent to you yesterday about my paypal issues and looking for other payment methods can be ignored...

Once again thanks for doing this Jon and i hope you issues are all past now
kind regards
Iain

[saddler]

Cheers Iain

Update for everyone:
39 knives on the GB on BCUK - 19 now paid for...
85 knives on the GB on BB - 37 paid for on there...so looking good so far, with BCUK in the lead

I put this post on the BB site earlier - so cutting & pasting it here for info.

"Quite a few folk have paid up so far - many thanks to those that have kept the faith in this & no hard feelings against any that chose to pull out...

Also, anyone that has been in touch about multiple buys (3 or more), or non-UK buyers, I will as promised provide correct shipping details once I can find this out at the post office

As of NOW - I am still out almost £1000 on the GB - so IF you are down for a single knife or a pair, please pay as soon as you can

There has been quite a bit of interest expressed for people wanting additions to what they asked for - or late-comers after spare knives

I'll put a provisional cut-off of Friday 11th Dec for anyone still on the list & wanting what they signed up for to pay - after that - due to financial outlay, I will open the unpaid slots to 1st come 1st served...as I'd like to make sure that everyone is happy with their allocation, yet I cannot go on indefinately having knives unclaimed when others wish to buy them (hope that sounds fair - if it's seen as harsh, please let me know)

The Dec 11th cut off also allows a margin of delay for Xmas delivery etc."

Cheers

Jon

[saddler]

They'll be bagged up as soon as I have had breakfast.

Those paid for as of midnight last night I'll try to send out today...in "day-paid-on" order
Will also get weights for multiples of 3, 5, 7 etc. & any foreign costs too - as per PM's

Made A Nice £30 Postal Charges Loss On Todays 42 Packets = 30 Single Knives & 12 Doubles

Counter Staff On Friday Quoted Price As "large Letter"

Dozy Sod Today Took The Packages & Then Said They're A "Packet"

= Over 60p/75p More Each!!

I'll Have To Update The Cost Prices For Any New Buyers Accordingly - MY APOLOGIES FOR LACK OF GREY MATTER AT POST OFFICE COUNTERS - I know it's the silly season in there at present but I'd expected more knowledge from them. I was trying to keep the unit costs down, if I'd not bothered I could have had the PACKET rates on Friday!!!

[saddler]

The following has taken over an hour to work out - now off for a cuppa & some headache pills!!

Unit cost for ONE knife is NOW £13.81 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee - 61p more than quoted
Unit cost for TWO knives is NOW £26.65 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee - 75p more than quoted
Unit cost for THREE knives is £37.70 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee £39.21
Unit cost for FOUR knives is £49.40 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee £51.38
Unit cost for FIVE knives is £61.10 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee £63.55
Unit cost for SIX knives is £73.50 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee £76.45
Unit cost for SEVEN knives is £85.20 delivered by RM First Class: AFTER adding the 4% PayPal fee £88.61

Any orders UNDER £39 will be covered by standard Royal Snail insurance & everything WILL have proof of posting...
Any order for over £39 will possibly have to go by SPECIAL DELIVERY- or by more than one package, whichever the buyer prefers

E.C. ORDERS (inclusive of P&P & PP 4% fee):
ONE knife = £14.56
TWO knives = £27.25
THREE knives = £39.94

PayPal will be the easiest payment method - make sure to include FULL address details & your list position number/forum name!!

Update - have mailed those with their names on the list - as of now 16 knives on here are unclaimed (still about £900 out of pocket on this...)

Anyone who has already paid - many thanks for being so prompt - & please note the price correction above - due to Post Office error!!

Any knives not paid for by this Friday 11th Dec will be sold on to 1st takers

Looking forward to the initial reactions once the Peasants start to arrive - hope some may get there tomorrow

Hi Duncan

THAT was the problem!!

I've packed/wrapped these in such a way that they WILL go through the 25mm slot - yet the fat muppet that served me never even tried the slot & never gave me the option of Large Letter as a postal rate
I'll see who else is on today when I go in - the fat muppet said she is not in on Thursday - so that'll be a good time to mail them too!!

[JohnC]

Very happy with the colour, wont be losing that in a hurry...
I would think that a bright orange handle gives this a look of a tool when in general use that stops comments about using "knives...!"

[nigelp]

Not got mine yet but have just sent the extra 61p. Cheers for sortinggoodjob

Another batch winging their way today...only one carrier bag full :D - Monday I had four bags full (a large IKEA blue bag)

About 12 to still be claimed/paid for on here - but not too bad for the day after delivery !! A good number of those still to pay have been in contact - though others seem to be weekend guests of Lord Lucan.

ALSO: My initial quote for postage WAS correct :rolleyes: (if you're ever in Haddington Post Office - make sure you get served by Diane)

The rest will go at the correct rate too...I'll update the price list & repost accordingly (this only applies to 1 or 2 knives in a pack, as this size DOES qualify as Large Letter)

I'll sort out refunds of the difference for todays batch.
Quite a few have paid up the difference due to the incorrect postal rate yesterday - many thanks to those that did so.

WHO said Group Buys were a lot of work?? :P
Bagging & tagging is easy - it's the Royal Snail & Parcel Farce that have been the biggest headache!!:censored:

Keep posting to confirm safe arrival & thoughts on the colour (as that was the point pf the exercise in the 1st place - point...knife; get it?? - I'll get my coat...)

recived today goodjob

not quite as orange as the clipper its going with but looks good

just an Orange laplander now for the set :eek:

[DFCA]

Hi All,

My three arrived this morning in fantastic time. I love them, just the ticket and the colour is great (and DOES go with my orange laplander!)
Thanks again for organising this and making it happen :)

All the best
Dave

[JFW]

Knife arrived yesterday - yes they are orange arn't they.
Mine needed a bit of a sharpen and the scales needed a bit of a rub to remove the excess molding tag, all in really happy with this.

Thanks for sorting this out.

Cheers

JFW

[saddler]

Glad to hear that most are arriving the day after posting

Also good that they're as well received

Make sure you fill in & return your warranty slips - plus add any comments on future Peasant models you'd like to see

[Ratbag]

Payment just sent for 14 and 15. Cheers
Rat

[Logit]

Received today! Thank you.

Will pp you the extra £1 to cover the cost of the postage!

:) Great bit of kit!

[saddler]

Update:

Of the original number on BCUK - 2 have dropped out since the knives arrived - 6 are still to pay
Not bad for the 2nd day after delivery!!

Most folk are getting knives the day after mailing

All knives paid for up to today are either already delivered or on the way

Keep posting comments & thoughts on the ORANGE side of the knife - and what you think of the Peasant in general...

Thanks

[Peter_t]

mine arrived today

like the colour and has the feel of a mora but it folds:D


pete

[dave1942]

My two arrived today. Good simple knife that will do what it says on the packet. Feels good in the hand and if I lost it (a little difficult with the colour) for the cost I would not be too upset. Like the previous post "a folding Mora"
Many thanks for your efforts with the buy.

Dave

[belzeebob23]

hi saddler

just to let you know mine arrived today

thanks
Scott

[belzeebob23]

hi saddler
have you thought about making a case to go with?

[saddler]

hi saddler
have you thought about making a case to go with?
scott

Hi Scott (& others)

Yes - with being out of touch with things for a short time ( I lost a few bits of info I needed on the last PC) I have a cunning plan to locate some ORANGE kydex & make a kydex sheath/scabbard/pouch

Will post any results on here - just have to get the kydex in first

IF I can find orange leather I may go the more traditional route

Keep a look out for developments

[Mikey P]

Arrived today. Thanks - it's Ronseal and exactly what I expected. Cheers!

[saddler]

The following slots may become free tomorrow

2. bushcrafty1
8. Melonfish
25. bushcrafty1
26. mayfly
37. Nickthechippy
39. lewiman201

There are also 2 spare slots from the people that pulled out this week

As this represents just under £100 on this forum alone, I'll be offering anyone that missed the GB the chance to step in
Just thought I'd post on the off-chance that recent members may want an ORANGE Xmas - could be a whole new family Turkey carving tradition waiting to be born...

PM me if you have any interest in an ORANGE Peasant

Cheers

Jon

[swyn]

Arrived home late last night and opened my package, a pair of V V good lookin' knives fell out. One is now in its 'rapidboy' sheath which suits it perfectly. Love the handle colour, I certainly will not loose this in a hurry. Thank you saddler!

Swyn.

[Forest fella]

my knives just arrived,and once again thanks for putting this order in.
Cheers

[BigM]

Ok, after much deliberation I'll put my name down for two if they're still available. Are postage rates to Ireland the same as EEC rates you have on an earlier post?

I'll paypal once I know the costs.

Thanks.

Not seen the "rapidboy" sheath - what are they like?

Not had time this week to get around to making up any carriers of any sort - WILL do some in 2010 - more than likely they'll be matching orange kydex

Hi

Yes - Ireland is EC, the northern part is UK

PP rates for EC/UK are as you say, posted elsewhere, with full PP instructions

Cheers for the interest

Jon

[BigM]

Cool, paypal sent. Looking forward to getting them.

[Mikey P]

Just a quick note:

First impressions are of a robust little folder which will take a place in my emergency gear kit and I expect will see frequent use in the garden too. I'm considering adding it to my climbing kit (hang from loop on the harness) but I need to be confident that it's not going to open by itself, which could be quite dangerous!

It's pretty sharp out of the packet but I might do some stropping with compound just to tidy it up a bit. Not sure I'm going to spend the time doing what he does in the sharpening videos! (see Svord website)

Orange handle should mean it won't get lost in a hurry. The fact you can take it apart yourself means it should be easy to clean. I've already put a cord lanyard on it through the handy hole on the lever.

All in all, looks like a practical tool. Just what I wanted.

[fussyproduct]

would love to buy an extra one if that is possible

thanks

[pwb]

Took the Svord to work today, talk about coordinated cutters :cool:.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk274/PossiblesPete/DSC02397Small.jpg

Not sure I want to pimp it too much. Like Mike I've added a short lanyard, orange para cord with a glow in the dark end.

Definitely going to have ago at making a pouch though.
Thinking something along the lines of a necker pouch maybe with a firesteel loop :bluThinki .

Cheers,
Pete.

SWMBO got excited at that pic!!

"OOOH - is he a tree surgeon - has he got any firewood!!"

...she needs to get out more, or buy one of my Barbour jumpers ;)

Glad she liked it :lmao:

Tree surgeon no, just a lowly estate worker :rolleyes: who's always on the look out for firewood.

Ha! I'd never thought of that! It'll match my Husqvarna saw and orange Petzl helmet! Truly colour coordinated...

[mayfly]

I want the one I ordered, sorry I thought this GB was dead with all the waiting. Personally I think it's only reasonable to give people who ordered a bit more time to get to this and not be disappointed, but your call.

[mayfly]

paypal sent for no 26

Knife received and very nice it is too.

Just sent you a PM Saddler

[w00dsmoke]

Jon,

my knife hasn't arrived yet and was wondering if there's been a delay of sorts at your end? Hey I'm not complaining just dying to get my hands on the knife! I've been down south with work and have been phoning home every day to ask my good lady if the knife has arrived yet but it hasn't!

It was mailed out on the 8th - so very surprised its not there!!

It may be dropping onto your doormat in a day or two - as I am having similar reports from other parts of the UK - though yours is the slowest I know of

Most knives sent on the 8th arrived next day or a couple of days after

Royal Mail say to wait 15 days!! As if...

Jon

[w00dsmoke]

Hey Jon,

these things happen but it's a real pain in the aXX! If it doesn't arrive I'd love to buy another off you if you have any going?

Man I'm gagging to touch the earth again and play with a new sharp! I'm stuck in a Brummie airport waiting in the dep lounge for a delayed plane up to Scotland! The joys of technology! Too many days of fluffy touchy feely 9am to 10pm training in the middle of the burbs and my colleagues think I'm weird for getting up at 5.30 to leave the hotel to walk in the fields and touch the earth and listen to the trees again!

IF it's lost I can claim from Royal Mail & send another that way...

I'll dig out the receipts tonight & locate the one for your Peasant

The day yours went I sent 55 knives...

Any chance of seeing you peasant in its Rapidboy sheath? It's always a pleasure to see his work and might give some of us lesser mortals a bit of inspiration.

Cheers,

[swyn]

Hi BigM.

I tried for an hour the other day to post a picture as this really does look good.:confused:

I read the thread too on 'how' to post a picture. I found no easy method and thus failed miserably:(

I'm waiting for foamy glue to set at present, as I'm sticking 8' x 4' insulation board to the childrens bedrooms, so have ten minutes to write but not try pictures! If anyone would care to offer help I'd be very gratefull! I'm on a 'mac mini' system not a pc.

Sorry......Swyn.

[BigM]

Oh well, not to worry.

Thanks for trying.

[mayfly]

Mine has arrived. Thanks for all the hard work getting this GB finished off. Much appreciated.

I must say the one I have has a different blade profile at the tip of the blade with no real point to the blade and a less consistent grind along the edge. I'm pretty sure this is the luck of the draw and variations in hand finished knives are perfectly normal, but this looks sufficiently different to have drawn my curiosity. I'll post a comparison with one from an earlier Danzo GB. Also using the photos on the Svord site (http://www.svord.com/SvordMainFrameset.htm) as a reference of sorts. The original one looks right, the orange one doesn't really, to me anyway.

Chris

[mayfly]

Couple of comparison pics. Blue one is ground as I would expect, Orange one a bit odd. Anyone else get this at all?

Guess what just dropped in the letter box. Two orange Peasants! They look great and heading out now to do some carving.

Thanks to saddler for organizing once again.

M

[w00dsmoke]

Well Jon, sorry to say that no knife has arrived yet...
I know it's not quite 15 days yet since posting but I'd be very surprised if it arrived now, it's a real shame with all the hard work you've gone into organising this and then having to deal with crap like this esp at this time of year.

How many other folk have been let down by Royal Mail?

Can I just buy another off you and paypal you the money if you have a knife spare and if you can be bothered claiming off Royal Mail for a lost knife then just keep any comp for yourself, by heck you deserve it.

WS

[saddler]

Hi WS

I have arranged for a 2nd knife to be sent your way - but this one will go "signed for" to hopefully make sure it don't vanish into the ether like the 1st one!!

I'll claim on the RM service for the missing package

Cheers

Jon

Both of mine are the same as your orange one - not coming to a pointy point. I might grind the top edge down to drop the point, which should sort the problem out. If these were expensive knives I might have a grumble, but for what we paid it's just more of a .... project :D

Thankyou Jon. You are an absolute gent. I'd hate to see you out of pocket Jon so let me sort you out through Paypal. When you claim anything back use the money towards your previous postage expenses and hassle. :You_Rock_ And have a cool yule!

WS

[swyn]

I would like to say that this Svord is truly a superb little tool!

We have been using it when feeding time comes around to cut the string on hay bales and big roly poly straw bales. As the weather is cold, most of the time we are wearing stockmans gloves which usually means that one has to come off to open a 'folder'.
With the Svord this is not so, The size makes for easy location in a pocket and the tail allows quick opening and thus nearly instant operation. The colour too, means that if dropped it is easily spotted in the debris!
My Rapidboy sheath will be used during the summer when many layers of clothing are not 'de rigeur'!

Swyn.

[w00dsmoke]

Merry crimbo Jon!

The knife posted on the 24th arrived today! Hope u got the paypal payment ok. Thanks alot Jon much appreciated. Thanks! WS

[rapidboy]

Would anybody have a phone number for Jon ?, if so please PM me.
A few people still haven't received knives from the other part of this buy over on British Blades and we are trying to contact him.

[Nickthechippy]

He posted mine before xmas, but not recieved it yet.
No answer to PM as yet.

Still I didnt check this thread for weeks, so hopefully hes just busy IRL

Nick

[yarrowfarm]

Mine was supposedly posted November 2009. I never received it and all my pm's were ignored!

I had to write it off as a bad lot. The good news is that now Heinnies have them for sale at a lower price...
