Again, I'm late to the game!

Unboxing and first impressions of the Grimsmo Norseman! Does it still impress?

[@williamhulsey9209]

My Bona Fides would be in 1968 I met John Applebaugh, one of the founding members of the Knifemakers guild, he gave my dad and I steel and even heat treated our terrible efforts. Today I have fixed blades by Bill Bagwell, Bill Burke, and Ed Fowler, folders by Chris Reeve, Bob Terzuola, Rick Hinderer and others. I've given 3 Rasks and one Norseman as gifts. My Carry Norseman is a delight...not light but flat, wonderful action and blade, excruciating craftsmanship. Highly reccomend if you can sharpen a compound curve (a chefs round ceramic rod and steel work great if you aren't skinning a lot of biffalo!).

I got a bronze anodized Norseman as well. It looks and performs great. Glad that you were able to find this one. It won’t disappoint.🎉

Man this knife is super awesome! Can’t believe I overlooked it for so long!

[@satudave]

Congrats again man. Every Norseman I have handled had been impressive. You can tell they take pride in their work.

[@these7seas]

100% they are super into the details so I feel like if you’re the type of person like that, you’ll really appreciate all the little intricacies and details!

[@Thatsthesecret]

Oh hellz yeah! Grimsmo makes a fine knife, congrats!

[@these7seas]

Yes they do!

The paleontologist was John Grimsmo brother in law.

[@these7seas]

Thanks for chiming in! Must be nice to have a family member like Grimsmo!

[@Quagmire925]

Gotta love the Grimsmo Horsedong!

[@psychogrinderz]

I'm in the curated club but I never have the funds 😂

[@j.hardesty446]

Love that presentation box and all the goodies in it. Looks like an awesome knife but it just doesn't do it for me no matter how many times I see it..I really wish I could like this knife.... probably if I handled it in person. But you can't like them all it wouldn't be any fun😅

[@these7seas]

Honestly I was in the same boat until I handled it….then I became a believer. It’s one of those knives that can only be appreciated in hand cuz it looks so funky. It’s fun, funky, and super useful.

Why did you sell your Rask please?

[@francescocastanon1601]

I used to have a Norseman in the same configuration, great design and action, but I had to sell it because I did not like the way the handles change their colour because the grease of hands.

[@finneas_0710]

Anodizing on titanium tends to get decolorations easily

[@these7seas]

Yeah it def changes color quickly but hit it with windex or cleaner and that shine comes back quick

[@thewaterwarrior9817]

Why did you sell the rask?

[@these7seas]

I was chasing something else but I missed it so much I ended up getting another rask this week. That’s how good it is IMO.

[@razvanteleanu4302]

Never impressive.
