You lucky ******** ****** :yikes:
AS you said that's a Knivsmid Stromeng 9" Leuku.

I've now got one as well. They are fantastic blades !!

You'll find one here; Attleborough
£5 is a very good price.

Very nice and the image is sort of "arty". A Leuko like that is something I would like to happen across.

sorry khimbar, i've read thevikings review. not that it was for sale anyway it's got an edge like a razor. the only problems i have with it are that the previous owner hasn't drawn it from the sheath properly so there are a few small cuts at the throat of the sheath and there is a small ding near the tip (i can polish it out with a whetstone)
but for a fiver you can't really complain.
it fills the middle ground between my CS LTC kukhri (my "big chopper" of choice) and my WS micarta.
i've also got a WS type 4 M.O.D. survival knife kicking around somewhere that i "liberated" from a scrap compound at work (i'm in the raf and a few years ago they removed them from the ejection seat survival pack and replaced them with a locking SAK)
everything is a case of "right place at the right time"
