Exceptional knife
Best knife I have. The workmanship is precise. I have a case stacked leather handle knife but this one is better. I sure I never lose this knife. The knife is very sharp. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet on a deer.

Excellent!
This is the most expensive knife I own, but also the best! This knife can be used for everything and the knife will be handed down to my future children, and grandchildren. It is THAT good!

A must have in my collection!: Beautiful knife but totally functional and sharp as a razor. This is a premium knife you can depend on. If you want the best this knife brings it to the table, not cheap but worth the investment, comes with a beautiful leather sheath. The best you can get in my opinion. Great for EDC.

Fallkniven NL4 Frej
Another amazing knife from my favorite manufacture. I have almost all of the northern light models. Couldn't be happier. Knife center is great.

Great knife, but...
If you are looking for a robust knife that has wonderful balance, and holds an edge, THIS IS IT! I dressed out two deer, and never felt the need to resharpen the blade. It handled beautifully, and even looks good. But wait, you say, if the knife is that good, why did you only rate it a 4, and not a 5? GOOD QUESTION! That's because the sheath is an awful pink color, fits the knife poorly, and you need two hands to use it. I threw it away within days, used an old K-Bar sheath, and have now ordered a custom sheath. Let me say it again, wonderful knife, worst sheath I have ever seen outside of a five and dime!

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Finish
Overall a very good knife. Comes from the factory razor sharp and holds an edge well. However, finish could be better for a knife this expensive. Edge grind is near perfect, but top of blade is ground uneven on each side which is quite noticeable. Thus, only four stars.
