Was just wondering if anyone knew if these blades come zero ground or with secondary micro bevel.
Karesuando blades secondary bevel?

I've bought several (quite a few years ago though) and they all had secondary bevels. Seems to be common on the Finnish blades although there are lots of exceptions. I just got this one, made by Harri Merimaa. No secondary bevel. I did notice after a few swipes on a hardwood dowel there is a very fine wire edge I will need to remove with some fine sandpaper mounted on a mousepad. Too tenacious at the moment for a strop.
JH:
The Karesuando knives all have a secondary bevel, similar to the Mora's.
And just like with the Mora's, you can remove the secondary bevel.
If that's not a problem for you, go for it.
Generally, I find the handles on the Karesuando knives to be too small, and I have small hands to start with.
Again, if this is not a problem for you, go for it.
The Karesuando knives are generally good and will serve you very well indeed, just as they've served me.
Hoodoo:
Sorry, the Karesuando knives are not Finnish, they're Swedish.

And so they are! My mistake. Been awhile since I bought mine so I reckon I just plum forgot.

I only remembered because I happened to spend some time close to Karesuando last autumn...
