Yes I did. He has them in either stainless or carbon. I bought the carbon, but my casual observation indicates the stainless are beveled better. The carbons all have slightly deeper grind marks at the hilt and all of these knives are slightly asymetric at the point. This is getting really nitpicking with handmade knives and Im very pleased. Ragnar related one lueko being returned when it snapped. The owner was splitting wood. These are slender knives, luekos are still slicers and not choppers. I've done it, carefully with smaller diameter softwoods. Ragnar mentioned a swinging style used by the Saami. Ill have to ask him again.They wouldn't be my first choice in a survival situation, but certainly not my last.
