I am in the midst of a leuku flirtation and saw this one. I like the lines of the knife, the conventional belt sheath, and the stainless steel construction. Has anybody tried out one of these?
 
They have the original version, wich is a stick-tang, and they have one "de lux" version with fulltang and wood handles..
Then you have the "custom" with fulltang and micarta scales (that`s a sweet looking blade)...
Where you from, just wondering because you are fami9liar with the Stromeng?..

I'm from Illinois. I have sort of gotten onto Scandinavian knives in the last few months. First the puukkos - got a Kellam (Ahti?) 3.7inch and a Helle Fjellkniven. Then I started studying up on leukus - got a small Kellam Tracker 5.7 inch but not a chopper. From what I could learn on some blogs, the Stromeng seemed to be highly rated. I picked up a 7.0 inch plain carbon steel one and also the military black finish 8.0 inch with fingerguard. I really like the Stromengs, but when I chop green vegetation with them (especially the plain steel 7 inch), the sap like residue seems to really cling to the blades and is not easily wiped off. The Brusletto looks like a similar blade configuration, but I wonder if the stainless steel might work better. I have used machetes and heavy 10 inch blades, and the lighter weight and compactness of leukus appeals to me for my purposes. I don't use them for cutting trees or splitting logs - that is when I reach for an ax or hatchet.
