    I used to sell Trident, Heinkel and Sabatier knives to Chefs many years ago, some of which were more than a weeks wages. One chef met with the Svord rep and when the rep was telling the Chef how good his knives were then told him how rubbish the Trident and Heinkel were, he nearly wore the Chefs knife that was due for replacement. The chef said if any of his staff ever used svord, he would remove them from his kitchen for lack of judgement. You could say he was unimpressed with the sales pitch......

    We sold a lot of Sabatier, Heinlkel, trident and a few other german and swiss knives along with Mundial, and we never once got asked for svord by any of our customers after that incident.

    I must admit after handling the ones we saw and the ones we sold I was unimpressed with the feel, but these were kitchen / chefs style knives and not hunters. I do use a Victory now, myself as well as my favourite, a Hackman knife (finnish- circa early 90s). Never seen them again after I got mine. If anyone see's any Hackman for sale, please let me know.
