Thanks Paul. Purchased this knife from you a little while ago with sheath bundle offer. It's a pretty cool item but I think cool-ness might be it's strongest attribute Beautiful handle, great steel + treatment, lock mechanism feel sturdy, and made in Europe. Sheath fits nicely on a 2" belt and is a proper well built item, like all of Casstrom's leather. The whole package just has a really nice overall feel to it and is exactly what you would expect from a romantic bushcraft folder from Sweden to be. That being said... The action is stout and buttery but there's a rough patch at about half-open that ruins the experience. Disassembly is easy but reassembly is a nightmare; the lock must be held open in order to seat the blade properly, there are no recesses for the washers, and the screw post goes in kicking and screaming. The blade is close-to-centre when closed, wiggles (by hand force) when closed, and wiggles (a lot less) when open. Tightening the screw to reduce wiggle and the opening action becomes too stiff. I also prefer (for now) a belt clip on an EDC blade that isn't an SAK. Perhaps some of the issues I mentioned can be remedied? Personal opinion, but a Scandinavian-grind knife doesn't feel optimal for most house/estate chores and a folder doesn't feel optimal for some (heavier) forest tasks. Will it do both? No doubt, but that voice in your head might constantly remind you that there are better tools for the job I'm new to knives, and folders, and I learned a lot of very valuable lessons with this example and I'm glad I have it. At the end of the day, it's just too cool, and for now I'm not willing to sell it Cheers
