I can't even recall if I have ever seen a Nordic pocket knife, so it is most interesting to me.

I believe quite a few variations of pocketknives were produced in Eskilstuna*, Sweden. Especially in the 60's, 70's and 80's.


*The city grew enormously during the Industrial Revolution and became one of the most important industrial cities of Sweden, earning the nickname "Stålstaden" ("The City of Steel"). Aside from firearms, the city also produced superior carpentry and wood carving chisels, cutlery, scissors, keys, machine tools and precision instruments. As a tribute to the steel industry, the figure of a steel worker is included in the city's coat of arms. Eskilstuna is sometimes called The Sheffield of Sweden. Both cities at their peak were home to numerous steel production companies.
