1st knife from Ragweed, i am sure more will follow, excellent quality !
This 511 knife is an excellent addition to my Morakniv knife collection.
This knife is an excellent knife for my Morakniv collection.
I really like the size. It cuts really well too. Love it
Waited several weeks for this ferrule for the Laplander I bought earlier. When it came it needed to be filed a bit to fit over the tang….. I thought! Warning,,,, The Laplander ferrule fits the knife but grind down the tang to get it on. Not the other way. Costly mistake but I’m learning. Eventually I’ll get my Laplander built. Just not today.
Thank you for my Mora Eldris neck knife and the light duty knife. I'm impressed!
It's a big knife, but not too big to be usable in the field, but not too small...Kinda perfect size to be in camp...The extended tang makes an interesting hold for chopping which is cool. I tend to like my handles thicker, but the width in the center of the tang is more than adequate. So i went wide and used contouring to get a good fit. This knife is 3/4 finished and ready to get in the ring. Really great blade and rageweed forge, thanks to you, I have more knives than I have friends. And I'm not complaining!
Made this for my wife to use as a crafting knife/purse tool. Let's just say that this little fatty is my new best friend, and now I want one too! Thanks ragweed forge for enabling my collecting of hobbies, at an unhealthy rate. Truley you have a customer for life. And ps great little knife too!
Very pleased with this one! Stainless blade has great balance and is great for chopping. Always happy with Lauri blades and the service and selection at Ragweed Forge!
If you’re reading this, you have probably been researching this little knife. I have had mine for about one year. I have used it in the kitchen to get a feel of it. Slicing fruit, and chopping vegetables. It’s a small knife, so it’s more of a pairing knife, not an Ulu. If you take your time, it will do the work. I forced a patina with vinegar so it wouldn’t rust, but still dry it thoroughly. It’s easy to sharpen, great in the hand, and has a wonderful, simple design. Timeless really. Cheers from Chicago.
I’m a wood carver and my knives are made out to old straight razors and the old timers are gone and I need to make them for the next generation. My questions about what steel was answered quickly and respectfully and I was directed to the Lauri blade. I had to reshape it and thin the blade to best fit my needs. It held up well and holds a razor sharp edge.
Great material will buy again and again. Red beard is the best.
This is a very attractive and well made knife. the polished steel is very nice and the wood in the handle is exceptional, as is the sheath. But the main reason I like this knife is its size, it is not too small to be useful or too large to be unwieldy. It feels good in the hand.
One of my top three favorite blades from the Norwegians.
I utilized Masur Birch, Linen Micarta and leather for this fine gift for a friend.
Looks great fast shipping!
I am a new wood carver/whittler. Found my new knife got dull quite quickly. The Rje 4 sided strop brought the edge back to nice and sharp very quickly. Good purchase. Thank you.

Maybe not the perfect size, but is perfect for my project. Will happily buy again.
The cork handle is comfortable and great to work with when your hands are cold and wet. The blade was almost shaving sharp. It was my son’s prized birthday present.
This knife is everything one could ask for in an EDC knife, excellent steel, super sharp and a handle that fits my hand securely. The wood is fantastic, as is the sheath. Plus, the excellent Ragweed Forge customer service. I got the knife super-fast. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Works great not only for a sheath, but to attach a folding knife in your pocket when it has no clip. I wanted a Helle Bleja, but was afraid of drilling into the scales to place a clip on it in the right spot. Talked to Ragweed and I came up with this option: to put the clip through the lanyard hole, and can still keep the knife in my front pocket.
I've been looking for a small bowie blade with a high quality steel for my personal knife. This is a great size for daily carry in the field.
I used leftover bits and pieces - African blackwood, cocobolo, some brass I had on hand. Very pleased with this blade and always pleased with Ragweed.
This is a beautiful knife. It cones sharp ready for your finishing handle ideas.
