Thank you John. Its by Thomas Lofgren and is the best I have. I met him many years ago at a CA knife show. He was just beginning his ascent into the top ranks so I could still afford this knife.

Very nice Q.S. Looks like Malachite in the handle, what a beautiful piece

Beautiful blade. What is the inlay? It looks expensive. Lovely wood. A winner CS.

T-dog, doglegg,

The handle is composed of malachite, stabilized birch, and fossil ivory. As I mentioned I acquired this when Tom had not yet become a dominant figure in the world of Nordic knives (Sweden.) Today, his knives are beyond my means.

Yessir....these are not very common and demand a reasonable price unless you find them at a garage sale.
I do like it. Thanks!!

Anyone have any thoughts on the authenticity of this unmarked piece? Thanks, J.O'.

[Quick Steel]

My only thought: It is strikingly beautiful.

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. That's a very fancy piece of work for a faker. I have others that have lots of writing etched in the fuller in English which tells me they are made for the souvenir market. This one is a mystery. Maybe there's a Puukko expert here. O'.

I just bought a bunch of Morakniv knives at an auction last Wednesday .All new unused some out of boxes but new.I never used them before but am keeping a few since they are great knives.They have good edges and sturdy sheaths some with fire starters too! I have most on Ebay now as of 8/29

Bought this EKILSTUNA-made knife in a 10 piece deal. Can't quite make out the mark. Looks like "C.V.O." surrounded by EKILSTUNA. The secondary is stamped ,"13". The frame is chased in flowers and scrolls and may have had some gold leaf work that is worn off. Pins are brass, frame is 3-1/4" x 1/4'' tall at the swell-center. It came in what looks to be an original leather slip-purse. Wondering if anyone knows the mark? Thanks J.O'.

The Fallkniven F1 is the official survival knife Swedish Air Force pilots since 1995.

[GSPTOPDOG]

These are recent pick-ups, that fit in perfectly with the knives from Sweden/Norway theme .... something from both countries.

I just found a new-used Mora knife.... Opps! ... camera battery is dead ...

[GSPTOPDOG]

Here is the Mora knife and a pair of wire cutters I picked up a while back...

[Ridgegrass]

Checks every box!

I am assuming that she has a younger single sister that is looking to meet a single worldly knife collector that has visited Denmark (twice!) .....

[Lars0729]

Lol! Great responses guys - too funny.
Also - she is the younger sister - sorry!
