backround info on my knife

[Brocktor]

i bought a K J Eriksson (sweden) mora knife today. it was £9 and close to perfect for me. so who is KJ and are mora respected(?), any info wanted.

its identical to but with a blunt saw on the back of the blade and a finger guard (what is this used for?) http://www.buckshotscamp.com/00000000000000000000-Mora-Blue-Plastic.jpg

I’ve often wondered what the blunt saw thingy on the back of the blade was for. Personally, have used it as a thumb grip when doing close work but I can’t help thinking it’s there for another purpose.

Any of you experts out there who can enlighten us?

Thanks.

From what you describe, it is used for descaling fish!

The "saw" on the back is a fish scaler

Mora knives are very good for the price and the saw bit is for descaling fish. I dont know what K J stands for though.

KJ Eriksson is a maker of knives. the company was started by Krång Johan Eriksson in 1912, before that he worked at Frosts.
the company ( K J Eriksson) owns something like 36% of Frosts now.
