I got this knife but when I inspected it, there was slight corrosion in the blade. And the handle isn’t aligned with the blade. Canned towards the right. Also, there’s a sharp edge near the hilt on both side of the knife which I tried to round off with a small file, scratching the blade but finally de horning the sharp edge.
Pros
Very sharp, beautiful sheath too.
Cons
Handle seems too light for heavier use. And too of the blade is rough , I can see the layers of steel.

Gorgeous piece of Burch and Grip.I was going to use this is an every day carry knife but I cannot bring myself to do that because I’m fine I will scratch the grip or damaged the blade.

I bought this knife for my son's birthday and he loved it! It feels well balanced when holding it and is very attractive. The sleeve is very sturdy and has lovely images on it. It feels like a good object of our Finnish heritage. Also, I was able to pick it up from the warehouse, a great convenience for me.
Pros
Very attractive knife and sleeve. Sleeve is heavy duty and nicely designed with images.

I could not be more pleased with my Puukko knife Model 5226. I have had many knives over the years and this is the one that will be going afield with me from now on.
