Can you tell me about this knife?

[newknife]

Saw this knife and I like the look of it a lot. I don't know too much about steels though.

Is this a strong blade? Will it hold a good edge and get pretty sharp?

Here's the link - it's #W11:

Also, is ragweed a good company to order from?

Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the knife. I am familiar with the company.
Ragweed Forge is highly thought of here on the forums.

Ragnar of Ragweed Forge is as reliable a dealer as you can find. EKA makes excellent knives. The 12C27 steel is typical of many Scandinavian knives and is very good at taking and holding an edge and corrosion resistance.

How good the knife is for you is a different question. It depends on what you need it for, probably on how long a blade you need, because this is a fairly versatile handle and blade shape.
