Eka makes wonderful knives, often quite affordable, too.

Nice review, is the EKA logo on the handle a sticker or is it stamped/glued on to the side? I have the smaller Swede 88 and have noticed that people who don't collect knives find it to be very good looking.

I assume it is glued on.

I am glad that they are 12c27 Sandvik. EKA collaborated with Outdoor Edge on several of their knives and the steel is AUS8A. That orange Kraton handle looks just like some of the Outdoor Edge models.

Thanks Stefan, A very nice review indeed.
I'm not familiar with the EKA line, but looks like a good one from what I see in your video.

By the way , IKEA is Dutch !

For tax reasons the holding company is located in the Netherlands. But IKEA was founded in Sweden, and the overall public perception here in Europe is that it is a Swedish company. The IKEA television ads are embedded into the Swedish culture, and the speakers in the ads have a Swedish accent.

Who cares? The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying country, with about 25% of its area and 21% of its population located below sea level, with 50% of its land lying less than one metre above sea level.
