Peasant is the new pimp. This is the genuine French peasant knife. It's super strong, made of high carbon steel. The blade comes sharp out of the box and will hold sharp for a long time. It's made by M.C. Cognet in Thiers, France in the same way it has for the past 90 years. The simple, slip-joint knife has been used by hobos and soldiers alike. The balance of style and functionality makes this the perfect knife for everyday carry.
