Nice knife, comfortable in hand, but the plastic liners in the handle were easily felt due to rough sanding from the factory. I re-sanded the handle a bit and used some Danish oil and it is now much improved. It was sharp out of the box, but not quite up to my standard, so I sharpened to put a scandi-vex grind on it. Very light and compact, a great knife to have with you on your fishing trip, but I think it's a bit too light duty for bushcraft. I like the knife and will use it it my rotation, but I wasn't overly impressed with fit and finish from the factory. The charm of this knife is the beautiful handle, laminated blade, the traditional construction & materials and the fact that it's made in Norway with much human interaction.
