Stefan, rogue= outlaw, as in the vikings that got exiled in the sagas and sailed west. I was just exchanging emails with my mora/puukko dealer. He said splitting wood could be done CAREFULLY with a large leukko, but the reduced tang could easily snap with any torque. Its easy to overlook the regional criteria and uses for a traditional knife and expect it to function equally well in today's global community. At least engrave runes or a reindeer on the D2 for luck!
