Another Norseman on the way

[T.J. H]

I had one, sold it, regretted it. So recently I’ve been checking out their inventory, nothing really struck me until today when I saw the exact configuration that I sold. The final push was it was made on my birthday. I had to do it even though I swore off right handed knives. There’s just something about a Norseman that I really like. I seriously need some help…

Cool

Since I saw this knife I'm wondering who designed it and why is so appealing to some folks.

and why is so appealing to some folks.

A mystery to me, aspecially at the price point.

When you hold one, you'll understand

There are a few of them available on their site currently -- as well as a Rask -- which seems fairly unusual, especially in mid-December. I'm not looking at $1000 folders right now, but that Rask is really tempting.

Just checked the price....

I'm wondering what's in there.....
cpm154, ceramic bearings and some titanium.
Nothing special to justify the price.

The scales are machined inside and out, the blade is ground in steps down to the final level. There is a lot of machining that goes into each one. Even the lock bar stabilizer is engraved as to the steel type used, and the clip is engraved on the underside.

With that blade shape, with a bonus recurve as the icing on the cake, holding the thing wouldnt help very much.

Oh my gosh, I didn't know that.
In that case I think they don't charge enough.

Medford Praetorian is better... it costs 3 Nord mans.

To each their own, I wouldn't pay full price, I got mine in trade. I can definitely see the build quality though.

This seemed like a trollish attempt at necromancy from the start, but the further attempts to troll are odd; why post at all?

**Edited to add, I just bought a second**

Agreed, don’t get haters at all or why they bother. And if you don’t like the norseman than just get a Les George!

Buy one, don't buy one, no skin off my nose. Medfords aren't my bag, good thing we have so many choices. LG is though!

There’s so much more that goes into a knife, I don’t even know where to begin with this nonsense.
That said, this knife isn’t for me, at all, but I can still appreciate and respect the attention to detail.

So discussing knives in a knife forum is hating n trolling now?

Medford praetorian is better? A 1lb clunk of metal that is useless as a folder. Might as well carry a fixed blade.

I’m sure you’ve probably never handled a Norseman because otherwise you wouldn’t have said something so ridiculous.

Not at all, but reviving a nearly one-year old thread for the sole purpose of stating "cool" is ... what? How should that be defined?

Perhaps I missed the purpose of the bump, but it didn't seem to be well intended.

Wasn’t referring to you sir, agreed your comments weren’t trolling or hating.
