Thanks for all the comments folks, this knife just seems to feel so "natural" to me, I can't really say it any better than that. Both in hand, and when I reach for it in pocket, it just always seems to sit well and stay in the same orientation while being carried. :)

Very nice overall!
 
This Norfolk is such a good looking, well made little knife I just have to put in my pocket once in awhile.

Looks nice, Master Thom! How are you liking that one so far? Looks as though the handle will melt into your palm.

Thank you both gents.

I am liking this knife a great deal.
Although the design is perhaps a tad contemporary I have found it to really satisfy my need for a French classic 'two nail' folder, of Pyrenean genes.

The handle is indeed very comfortable and really it is a joy to both hold and behold.
I worry a little about nicking my index finger slightly, but I think that is my getting used to the knife grip.

I've noticed not so much movement, but a noticeable slackening of the 'pinch' when I've had it in the sheath in my pocket on hotter days. The dry handle I think needs a bit of a drink to settle that down a little, so it is worth the loss of scent, rather than have to resort to a deft tap or two wit'hammer just yet.

The piney whiff of the of the juniper wood really is quite moreish....I get weird enough looks coon-fingering my knife in the living room or at work....now I've started sniffing it! Lord help me! ;)
I wonder if an Easter weekend bath in boiled linseed will spoil that?

The blade by the way is devilishly sharp. I am really enjoying that element a great deal.
The French do their stainless very well, and the seem to excel at achieving a strong yet thin blade in there pocket cutlery.

I'm definitely keeping it European for the rest of my foreseeable knife purchases.

Looks and sounds like a dandy! I'm wondering if you could just bath the pivot end and settle for a couple of soaked cloth wipes of the rest? Might help pour le preservacion aromatic!
