Normark knives

Does anyone know about the quality of Normark knives? I'm looking at a folding fillet knife for the tackle-box: the blade reads "stainless steel Sweden EKA patented". The handle feels like a Gerber Gator.
Are Normark knives any good, I have never heard of them?

The one I have has a removable blade for cleaning (great on a fillet knife). I believe the steel is Sandvic 12C27, it takes a razor edge. The blade is probably only 54 or 55 rockwell--soft. Very practical knife and good value for the money.
 
I've had a folder with the same EKA marking on the tang.For the money the knife is a good buy.Jeff is right the steel is Sandvic made in Sweden.The knife I have has a green handle with LL BEAN on it but it looks just like a Normark model.The only bad thing I could say about the knife is the handles are pretty cheap.
 
Thanks for the input guys. Since it's not too expensive I don't see how I can go wrong.
 
I have a Normark fillet knife that's probably about 30 years old. I haven't used it all that much, but when I have, it's done a great job. It still looks and works really well. I once asked a party boat filleter to use my knife. At first he was hesitant, but after using it for a while he said it was one of the best he had ever used.
 
I don't know about that model but a couple of other Normark knives that I have were made by Eriksson of Mora, Sweden. I may have bought the last of Normark's stock of what they called a Swedish hunting knife, they were Eriksson carbon steel Mora knives with plastic handles and sheaths, and I have a budget fillet knife that Normark calls a Falcon. The fillet knife has the same type of handle as the other Eriksson knives but the blade is evidently 12C27 (?) stainless, and being thin takes a very good edge, although not as good as the carbon steel knives as it appears to be softer.
