I have been looking for a quality pocket knife for some time, as my current long-owned knife is due for retirement. The Blakeney knife arrived in the post yesterday and it truly is a beautiful, quality knife that will last more than my lifetime. Thank you, Ashley. Great work.

Superb knife. Very well made with a lovely solid brass handle. The epitome of British (Sheffield) knife making. The world of pocket knives has gone mad with fancy steels and exotic handles. All you need is something well-made and functional. The Blakeney knife is just that - 100%. It arrived well-packed and the best bit...razor sharp straight out of the box. So good... I am going to order another one!

A top quality knife. It handles well, is compact enough to carry easily and has a razor-sharp blade.

Pre-ordered this piece based on the promised description of high quality made in small batches by UK manufacturer. Item received last week and I was not disappointed. The Blakeney is a lovely small pocket knife that has been engineered and manufactured to high standards. The solid brass handles are just wonderful. Great piece of kit Mr Watson.

delighted with this little knife, it is magic :) Superb work, I am happy to be a privileged owner of this beautiful object. Thank you.

What a great Sheffield work of art. Really impressed, classy, artisan and bombproof. Looking forward to handing it done to my Grandkids, this Knife should last forever. It will remain as a permanent part of my camping/Bike packing and Motorcycle touring set-up. I especially like the small aspects that clearly show it's handmade and not just thrown off a production line. Thumbs up from me.

Pure British engineering & design, this is a solid blade and can be used for everyday adventures. Took me a long time to find a great pocket knife and this one is Made in England. Ashley Watson provides superb customer service, definitely get yourself one soon before they are all gone!

The Blakeney Knife has a Bauhaus quality - the look and feel of steel and brass beautifully melded together where form follows function and nothing is wasted. It feels just right in the hand open or closed, being nicely balanced and weighted. The brass quickly takes on a patina that makes it very personal the more it’s handled.

For me, the Blakeney Knife is a wonderful companion in my man's bag, reduced to the essentials of a knife and made of pure material.

You can sometimes only appreciate a quality object when standing in front of it, or holding it in your hand, but because it was coming from Ashley Watson I knew I could order the Blakeney knife without hesitation. I got mine (delivered to the US) last week, as promised and opened the package like a 12 year old on Christmas morning. I was not let down, quite the opposite really. I love this knife and I’ll carry it with me on every trip.

Wanted a new pocket knife & saw this one modelled on an army knife. From the pre-order (to help suppliers) to the great product & fantastic note with the penny/custom history about knives with the quality knife, what an amazing buying experience!

Very handsome and well made. Nice heft and the knife came razor sharp. The brass scales are already taking on a bit of patina. Very pleased.

Sharp in form and function. I absolutely love this knife. Already working on a solid patina and hope it can be passed down through generations.

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful, durable, incredibly sharp, and just the right size and shape for everyday tasks like slicing open shipping boxes, or cutting along a straightedge. Craftsmanship at such a high level in this day and age is always a joy, but when it’s this affordable as well, one is tempted to call it a miracle...

Great packaging and presentation. This product blew me away with its simplicity and elegance, it feels great in the hand. The brass gets more patina from the oils in your skin the more you hold it. It’s become my everyday carry, even tho I work from home. Just wish it had a number to show it was from one of the first 100 batch! I remember my grandfather always having this one pocket knife in his pocket for so many years, this pocket knife will be mine for years to come. Thank you Ashley for making the effort to create something great that will last a lifetime!

This is a well-made knife with an excellent blade and a sturdy overall feel. At the same time it’s small enough to easily pack away, it’s light and the action is solid. If you need a few snicks to help with maintenance or if you want to sit and whittle this is a good blade.

The essence of good design: everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from anything AW, and I’m looking forward to years of use and brass patina.

Fast shipping, really good product! Totally recommend it, it’s a must have.

As it says on the tin. This knife is true craftsmanship to an engineering specification. Excellent finish. It has a very comfortable and strong feel. When the blade is opened it holds a positive position for the task. Not in use, the knife carried on a belt clip just inside a front pocket is comfortable. An investment.
