Bark river or Karesuando knife?

[Shriket33]

I know the high quality ( in my mind) of the bark river series.
Like to get a Bark River Scandi series knife in CPM 3V, or the beautifull looking ( in the picture at least) Karesuando Damascus knife with burl birch handle.
Is anyone familiar with the Karesuando products? Are they as high quality as the advertisement claims?
This knive is Damascus RLW 34 sixty layer steel, not hand forged but done under high pressure machine hammers. Steel blank supplied by Swedens Damasteel producer.
In the end the Karesuando will be just a smidgen more expensive then the Barkriver CPM3V Scandi blade landed in Canada, paid with devalued Canuck bucks.
Decisions........decisions.......decisions. Thank you for your input

Both are interesting production knives.
Out of the two, I got the Bark River Scandi.

I have written about it and You may have seen that.
I did some break-in adjustments and since then, I have been very pleased with the knife and still is.

The Damasteel is very good and I have a knife also in this steel, but it's not a Karesuando.
