>>609145I like them for what they are, however I have never bought one, even having had the opportunity.
I guess for a collector of nordic knives they are a must have, but If I wanted a puuko or something similar I would not hesitate in having one made for me by a custom maker. I much rather support local knifemakers than buy from industrial brands, and most often than not, they are of a much higher quality too.
I really like their Viking model.
Seeing how I like the military stuff now, I prefer EKA.
I'm thorougly impressed with what they've achieved now. They have truly stepped up their game with their G10, full tang knives with kydex sheaths. Sissipuuko aside, and now with the new Varusteleka "tactical" puukos, EKA has some sweet nordic style military knives.
