Good afternoon everyone,
I just wanted to share some love for another knife I edc almost every day.
The Enzo Birk 75 Is a solid knife, by solid I mean SOLID. The knife is made by a Finnish company called Brisa, they mostly sell knife making supplies but have a fair amount of premade knives for sale. I have had mine for about 2 months now. It has done everything from food prep to basic bushcrafting. I know Enzo (begun by Brisa) Is known for their bushcrafting knives, I personally don't trust a folder to do hard bushcrafting or camp knife work.
I have used it in carving, wood feathering and even using a ferro rod for on the back for fire starting. It excelled at all of them. It is a great edc as well as a good choice for a secondary carry while on the trail. It would be a good counterpart for a good fixed blade.

So, on the the particulars. The version I got is a S30V model with a carbon fiber handle, ( CF laminated on black G10). the quality of the CF is the same as a spyderco Sage-1. I have heard speculation that they are actually made in the same factory. The quality of the Birk is amazing, same as the Sage.
Anyway, The one I got has a Scandi Grind with a pritty thick blade, I have heard that people say that the scandi grind is not a good slicer but i disagree. I have cut salami into very thin slices with it as well as very thin cucumber slices. next time I should take some pictures. I find that the grind is great for all around use. I personally prefer a hollow ground blade but always like trying new styles.

The deployment of the blade is like butter. It flies out with a slight flick of the double sided thumb studs. It rides on bronze washers.The studs are very comfortable also. No sharp edges but it has enough grip to be efficient.
The linerlock is great. It has a slightly raised part to make it even easier to grip with you thumb and disengage. (this was done becuase of feedback from consumers, Brisa listens!)

The pocket clip is my favorite kind, Deep Carry! Woohoo! Its a bit bulky but does it's job well and is deep carry, Joy!
All and all the knife is great, it also comes in a flat grind and I plan on trying to snag one of those in the near future. I recommend that you guys check it out. The knife is available in either D2 steel blade or S30V as well as multiple kinds of handle materials. I got the CF because it seemed like a good middle of the road choice.
If you have been on the fence about this knife ( i know it is growing in popularity) I recommend you snag one. The fit and finish is awesome!
Hope you guys liked the review,
Have a great weekend, Be safe and enjoy the little things.
