I had an NL5 Idun for about five years. Fantastic knife. Very easy to maintain the convex edge on it. After taking down a large animal or two a quick strop brings it right back to eye popping sharp. I found it to be a very good general purpose hunting blade.

It has a thick spine but handled well and the factory sheath was adequate but I would probably opt for a Parsons.

The stacked ox hide grips wore well and patinaed beautifully.

I gave it to my father when my last Ingrams came in but it will get back to me eventually.

My hunting partner has had one for about ten years as his only knife. He also has zero complaints.
