Very well made. The spine is straight and the woodwork on the handle is perfect. Arrived very sharp and with a diamond stone, it sharpened well with a 20 degree angle. I chose not to carry it with the included leather strap; I added a belt loop to the sheath for vertical carry. And I burned in some runes on the sheath to add a personal touch. I’ve used the knife for everyday cutting chores, as well as boring holes in the ground for planting vegetables. It’s held up fantastically; much better than I actually expected, especially for the price. Overall, this is an awesome knife! Well done, Norse Tradesman!
