I have an Eka W11 & can tell you that it is a fantastic knife which can take a hell of a lot of punishment. There is a review of the knife on outdoor magazine here .

The main criticisms I have of this knife is that the blade can feel a little long and that the edge profile that it comes with is not the one I would choose so you might want to extend the bevel on the blade right to the edge, which is hard work because the steel is very tough but this gives you a nice fine edge. Otherwise it is a great knife.

I also have a Fallkniven F1 which is about the same price and what most people will advise you to get instead. I greatly prefer the EKA for its ergonomics and general feel and use this far more often than the F1. Also I'm not as keen on the VG10 steel in the F1 - it sharpens to razor edge but is a bit prone to rolling over. The Sandvik steel in the EKA doesn't seem to suffer from this even gets just as sharp.
