I just got a Swedish EKA 8 Lite knife, and I'm very impressed with it.
It has nice "file" work, no doubt machined, on the spine and on the blade where your thumb would touch it. Came with a dark leather sheath which I believe is moose skin. At least it has what looks like a picture of a moose, along with the logo "king of the forest" on the snap.
It's extremely sharp right out of the box, has a nice tight lock up with a back lock, and pretty bubinga wood scales. Has the typical upswept scandinavian blade made of Sandvik 12C27 (AUS-8, 57-59 hardness) stainless.
Street price is in the $25-30 range. Blade is about 3", 4" closed, 7.25" open.

Anyone else have one, if so, what's your impression?
