Best knife about just now, great value,reliable and extremely well made. I previously had the EKA 10 which I did not like at all.
Old Barnowl raved about his EKA 8 and when we compared them they had same width of blade, same size and angle of grind. EKA 8 was by far a better knife.
The EKA 10 was about 10mm longer and 5mm of that was at the tip which made it look too vulnerable.
I,ve had about a dozen EKA,S and I,ve two EKA 8,s, great knives 12c27 stainless for £20 quid each what a bargain.
