Old Jimbo talks a little about them in this theard as compared to the Gransfors Burk.

I would like to see pictures if you have any.

Here is an old Norlunds I restored by thinning the blade and convexing it. It will shave hair like a knife but chops like a bigger axe.

Well I have an older one. It is fairly lightweight. Smallish size. Easy to choke up on the handle. I like it. Throws into the pack easy enough. Heavy enough to mean business. Loosearrow
