Swedish barrel knife fs.

[launditch1]

Offered here is this nice example of a Swedish barrel knife.It is just over 4in when closed and 7in when opened and inside its handle.The handle is steel and Masir birch.One of the ferrules is slightly loose but its not going anywhere.
Folding blade is marked P.HOLMBERG.ESKILSTUNA.SWEDEN.
It all comes out and into the handle as it should.Dates from the early part of the 20th century...If there are any other points i havent raised or anything else i can add post on the thread.
my price is £85.Price includes RMSD.Thanks for looking.

That's a beauty! Good thing it's gone to a good home.

I wonder if I could make one of those? Maybe use a frosts 106 as the basis? Hmm!

 

[Buckshot]

I was wondering exactly the same thing...
I'll have to look up a 106

cheers

Just what I was thinking. I have some walnut and some brass that could be adapted to ferules, just the blade to find...

I may be wrong but the design has a copyright and can only be made in Sweden.Thats why no-one in this country makes them.Sure i read it on BB somewhere?....
