Enzo quality?

[SCWillson]

I've become interested in a couple of the Enzo designs, but I know nothing of their quality beyond that they are made in Finland, which is not known for shoddy exports.

Anyone have experience with Enzo? How does their quality compare to Benchmade, Spyderco, and other major brands?

I have an Enzo Birk linerlock, Scandi grind in D2 steel. It is absolutely fabulous! Sharpest knife out of the box I've ever had (and that's a lot). IMHO, one of the best brands on the market today; will shave the hair off of a knats arse.

I've made 3 knives out of the necker blanks... all are so sharp after a little stropping that they can shave the ridges off my fingerprints

They are known to have really good heat treat.

Cool! The Necker is one of the models I'm most interested in. Just wish they made it in D2.

Very pretty. Are those scales some sort of horn?

I have three Enzo trappers (two 01 & one d2 steels) and one scandi grind birk. love them. can't go wrong.

My trapper will feather sticks effeortlessly. I haven't given mine a proper break in yet. Made a few fires this summer. It's very comfortable. Blade has stayed sharp thus far. The sheath is excellent quality.
I really want either an elver or necker blank to mess around with. I plan on using my trapper as my hiking knife this fall.

Forgot to mention that enzo knives come in alot of different steels. I would recmomend the novice woodsman. Lots of cool info on Nordic knives.

If you like folders, I can highly recommend the Birk 75 and the PK70 friction folder. The Birk 75 is a liner lock whose ease of blade deployment and build quality are equal to Spyderco. If Spyderco built this knife it would sell for $200+. (My cost was about $110 a couple of years ago.)
The PK70 is a figured birch handled friction folder, compact, flat, easily disappears in the pocket, but well built and very good EDC, office knife, general purpose workshop knife, etc. Both these blades hold their sharpness for a long time under moderate to heavy use. But they need to be stropped or lightly honed at the first sign of dulling because they are a little time consuming to resharpen after they lose their edge. Dirk is D2, PK70 is CPM S30V.
Can't think of any other knife I have owned or used that has combination of quite thick blades while yielding such a sharp edge. Guess that's the result of the Scandi
grind.

REF my above post, sorry, the ENZO PK70 is a SLIP JOINT, not a friction folder. My mind must have slipped out of its joint, due to all the folding friction around here lately.
