I found a couple of swedish and german sites listing the scout 40 at 23-25 Euro, which seems alot compared to the 1, 2, 601...
Ebay banned knifes in the UK about 2 years ago, the company may deal outside ebay, but ebay block us bidding/buying as I found out last month with a unsharpened damascus blankI think there's some exceptions as collectables but that's it.
And the seller I wanted to buy from also quotes selling to the UK & delivery times.

ebay.co.uk wont let you list/buy but oddly i've read numerous reports of ebay.com being fine....
Helle make this one which is similar

Hey, is that the knife the same in size as the scout 40? I got an email from heinnie saying they cannot soruce a scout 40 for me! first time I've had that!
scout 40 seems to be discontinued, there are online retailers selling them but most seem to be in the US
the Helle one seems to be a similar size 4" handle but has a slightly shorter blade 3-1/2" rather than 4"
This is what I've done with a 601
needs a little work and a sheath

nice! and you beat me to it! that's what I had planned for a 601
shame about the scout 40, it looked really neat and a good stainless blade is always useful to have. The helle version is around £30 I think, but it does look nice.
I thought more people would have had mora classics, and had a play changing them..

odly they only sell the knives in bulk and at an overprided rate too, but they seem to sell the parts individually?
Not even sure if this is a Mora Classic but whatever it is I love it as a backup and general beater;
Birch bark sheath with a pine insert inspired by Addo and a bit of elbow grease and linseed oil on the handle. Great knife and probably the best £5 I've ever dropped on a knife!

Right, it's an E Jonsson Mora. Still no idea if it's a classic or not but thats what I've always thought it was. Nice knife regardless, if I didn't make my own knives I would have bought several of these to last a lifetime.
From british blades
There were four Jönsson brothers: Erik, Anders, John and Manne.
The workshop was started by their father Anders Jönsson in the early 1900s, and was taken over by the four brothers in 1934. I dont know how long the company was in business, but I guess that they operate until around 1960 when they were bought out by frost.
The usual stamp of "Bröderna Jönsson" is in Swedish the same as "the Jönsson brothers" is in English.
E Jonsson knives are still made but that may well be a vintage one as the only ones i can find have red paint...

thanks for the info. it had red paint until i removed it. still prefer it without but perhaps i should have left it on!? chances are it's a new one if it had the paint i take it...the sheath was pretty plastic fantastic hence the birch bark and pine pimp.
