Overview
Crafted by hand in Sheffield, England, The Cheviot is a (UK legal) folding knife made for exploring, errands, and everything in between. Designed for everyday carry, it feels just right in the hand and slips easily into a pocket, pack, or kit bag. One for those who believe the best gear should be used, not saved.

Nearly Perfect

These knives have been marked as 'nearly perfect' - that means that there was a mark or imperfection that meant we couldn't sell them at full price. With most of the knives this usually means a variation in the wood handle - either a mark on the wood, or an imperfection in the contour engraving. They're still a great knife, and will give you decades of faithful service. 

Design
The hardwood handle is precision engraved with the contours of The Cheviot - Northumberland’s highest peak - faithfully reproduced from a 1924 Ordnance Survey map. A subtle tribute to the landscapes that shape our journeys, and the tools that carry us through them.

Blade & Function
The 2.5" stainless steel blade is sharp, compact, and UK legal for everyday carry. Tough enough for camp chores, precise enough for lunch prep - it’s designed to earn its place in your pocket.

Provenance
Each knife is made in Sheffield by Taylors Eye Witness, who have been crafting blades in the city since 1838. These are tools made with intention - where tradition meets utility.

30-Day Money Back Guarantee

You can still return these knives as usual if you're unhappy with the knife you receive - just send us a message and we'll send you a return label.

Please note: We do not offer personalisation on any of our 'Nearly Perfect' products.

Great product... great service.

I couldn't identify any flaws with the knife, despite being advertised as 'nearly perfect', which is a testament to the high regard that Tristan and his team must hold product quality.
Delivery was fast and communication from Tristan was first rate. I am very happy with the product and equally as happy with the level of customer service. If all businesses operated with this level of service as a primary focus, I think complaints departments would be consigned to history.

I bought a slight seconds Cheviot Pocket Knife and I'm chuffed to bits. I cannot see why it's a slight seconds knife as it's cracking! A beautiful handle and a super sharp blade make this the best pocket knife I own. A Great British made product!
Great service and a quick delivery.

Lovely pocket knife, attractive styling. Small enough to fit comfortably in the pocket but sturdy and sharp enough for all my gardening jobs.
Looking forward to using it for years.

Really happy with the team and their offer here. Prompt delivery and well packaged. Not that I can compare this to many other knives I own, though based on now getting this for my desk I will not be looking to get a other.

Bought the penknife as a gift for my son

Bought the penknife as a gift for my son. I got a sale item as “imperfect” but I honestly can’t see anything imperfect about it so standards are very high! It’s a beautiful little item & feels lovely in your hand-love the wooden handle & the patterns.
I’m sure it will be treasured & used for camping etc for many years to come.
Would definitely recommend!

Great pocket knife!

Very happy, with the penknife! It’s well constructed and durable. The knife casing is very attractive and natural which appeals to me. The knife blade is ideal for day to day use, sharp without being dangerous and easily opened. A great buy all round! Hope it lasts for years to come!

It's made by Taylor's Eye and I've had therse in the past and still use. So a minor imperfection (which I haven't noticed as yet) is not an issue to me.

A thing of beauty and function

Perfect size , balance and finish. My copy of the knife was sold as “nearly perfect” but I can detect no flaws. The simplicity of the classic design means it can be carried daily without wearing a hole in my jeans pocket.

Ordered the “nearly perfect” Cheviot Pocket Knife expecting it to have minor damage

Ordered the “nearly perfect” Cheviot Pocket Knife expecting it to have minor damage, and other obvious errors. But, it’s almost impossible to tell why it is considered “nearly perfect”… I’m very impressed with my order!
