Got mine from attlebourough too - very very nice - could almost replace my axe....
I tend to use it for brush clearing whilst looking for arrows at field shoots - because it fits in my quiver its very sheeple friendly - more so than my machete.

 

[wolf]

any one else on here use one?i would be interested on your views on it.

 

[Graham_S]

i love it. it's very weildy and easy to use. it's very sharp, holds a fantastic edge and is fairly lightweight and yet has a fantastic chopping ability. i've used it to chop down saplings and make spoons. and pretty much everything inbetween
have you noticed that i like it?

Not to hijack the thread but anybody have any thoughts comparing this Leuku to the Iisakki Järvenpää leauku? I found an old post of Hoodoo's that mention he likes the Stromeng better. Anybody else have any thoughts? akraven

I bought my knife from the factory making these in Karasjok.

This seems like a semi-approriate place to say that I just ordered a leuku blade from Brisa that was down from 16 to 10 euros in their monthly special offers. Look for 'special offers' near the bottom of the main menu.

I can't wait to get that baby handled-up and show a piece of bamboo that it's life's purpose is to be my fishing rod.

That reminds me, how did your Norway tour go?

I'd recommend the Helle Lapland over the Strømeng, as it is better made and designed.

whats the best method of,honing,sharpening,stropping for it?
do you hone flat or raised ect?

 

[Graham_S]

it's a scandi grind, so just hone flat. and i just strop it on either my starkie or my belt.
funnily enough i got mine in norway too.

Awesome....... 4000miles through some amazing wilderness in places.

I bought a hand made Sapmi knife with an amazing kolrussed scabbard (not one of the usual tourist monkey metal ones) which has now become my full time bushcraft knife.

I got hold of loads of useful materials like elk antler and reindeer leather which are like rocking horse droppings in the UK.

Then I spent a month working here

They've asked me to go again next year, what do you think?

Is the seax the same as you had (unfinished) at Borg earlier this year.
It looks like an awesome knife.
Do you have other pics of it ?

Hi Tor

Yes it is, I have other shots but I haven't edited them down to a sensible size for the web yet. That's another thing to add to my list of jobs

It was good to meet you, if only briefly. Everything was kind of crazy when you arrived with about a dozen things happening at once. By the time things calmed down I couldn't find you again. I hope I didn't seem rude.

Did you have a good day?

 

[Tor helge]

Yes Wayland I had a good day.
Ran around trying to get a glimt of everything that was going on. Not an easy task with a child and others who have their own agenda .
I have you on video by the way. I filmed the archery contest (and some other stuff).
I wish I had more time at Borg but I was on my way to the next stop, Steigen and the saga days there.
Looking forward to see the other pics of the seax.
