EKA Sweden??
Hello everybody. Do any of you know or own any knives from the maker EKA ? Just the other day I bought a little pocket knife at a flea market. I bought it because it looked interesting. At home I removed some of the rust and dirt to find something stamped into one of the blades.. EKA Sweden and stainless on the other side. I looked into my copy of Blades Guide to Knives & Their Values and came up with the following information: E.K.A. see Eskilstuna Knivfabriks Aktiebolag. So I turned a page and found that the company made knives in the town of Eskilstuna Sweden from 1920-1970, With a tang stamp of an E on a crown anchor. With the EKA stamp from 1917-1925 From 1946 till the present they are supposed to be making knives. Anyone own one, and what do you think of the EKA knives?? I will post a picture in a short while.

Hello Linda, you are probably right, EKA makes knives with logos for other companies as presents for their clients or co-workers.Therefore the connection between EKA and Thomesto is strictly a coincidence. Do you have any EKA knives?

Unfortunatly, no, I don't own any EKA knives. Which is almost a bit embarrasing, because I live about 31 miles from Eskilstuna. It's less than an hour by car. Hopfully I'll get one soon, though. I told my husband I want a Swede 88 for my birthday. A Swede 10 would also be fine!

If I ever feel like taking on a new collection brand. This is probably the one. I see them often online and think. Wow!! Cleaned up, they command a high price. Sometimes, there are bargains to be had. I've not yet seen a knock-off. I would probably find one after I bought it. lol
