Good knife for the money - Helle Temagami Survivorman Knife

I received this knife a few days ago and have already used it a number of times. One thing you will instantly notice is the hand-filling handle, which I like. When I first received the knife I realized the tang along the back of the handle was higher than the wood handle with rough edges. For me this did not present much of a problem since I have an entire workshop. A few minutes with a small bastard file, #220 and #400 sandpaper, and an application of Danish Oil finish and I was good to go. The whole job took less than 15 minutes. The wood probably shrunk a little since manufacture, thus the problem. I have seen this situation on other full tang knives, so no big deal for me. That is the only reason I gave four stars instead of five. I do like the knife an it will be my regular carry.
