Been browsing Ragnar's site for a while, and came across Wood Jewel knives at a pretty decent price point. I've always been a fan of Nordic-style knives, and have owned some Helles, Kellams, and an Iisakki Jarvenpaa Aito Puukko (regret letting that one go) in the past. So these look pretty nice, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this brand. Are the handles comfortable? How is the steel? Are they fairly durable? I was looking specifically at the doubles (using a link from Lamnia.fi, they have better photos):

This one also appeals to me, I've been looking for something traditional, in the 5-6" range:

Any thoughts would be welcome, including alternative suggestions in other brands. Not looking to go too pricey, I'm on a low budget, as Ray Davies would say...
 
I have some
The quality and F&F is good
A classic knife in the Finish style

I use the 95 length a lot as a field knife
Comes with a largish 'micro' bevel on the scandi, but the primary bevel is a long ways back on the spine so the micro bevel is quite acute
I worked the primary down to very close to zero the width of a water stone next to the handle and left the curve as it came
Beeswaxed the sheath to make it waterproof
