A (near) perfect comppanion - Helle Bleja Knife

This folder feels nicer in my hand than any other folding knife I have ever owned. So, while it does not feel as good as a fixed-blade due to the blade channel, it is as close as any folder I have held has come. Some complain of the curly birch handle, but I find it beautiful. As for the blade, I love the Scandinavian grind and it came razor sharp from the factory (as is usual for Helle). As a final note, these knives are handmade. As such, some appreciate the idea of human craftsmanship, as do I, and some complain about the minor imperfections you may encounter. The two sides of my Bleja's handle, for example, are not perfectly symmetrical, and the screws vary a little in their depth. Some may see this with a critical eye; I see it as natural variation from the working of an artist or craftsman.
