Hi, new member here. I'm a third generation Norwegian Minnesotan now in Nevada. No norske knives in Nevada , I collected some in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I was collecting the brusletto melleium knives but Atlanta cutlery stopped carring them. I need the last two the Natid and Framtid, if any one has these that i can buy or know someone that does let me know, I am also looking for Toten knives. My grandparents came from Oppland county where Toten is. I don't have any relatives there the F*** Nazis killed them off I'm the last one with the family name. I have a fine finnish grandfather knife I would like sell or trade for a Norwegian knife.
MYSTERY PEN KNIFE- Hello, I'm hoping that some of my friends of Swedish descent might be able to help me identify this pen knife? Sometime ago in the summer of 1955, I was visiting my granddad's brother's farm near Gottenborg, Varmland in Sweden with my mother and my grandparents. This little pen knife was given to them and eventually left to me. It bears the Swedish Horse on one side and the name appears to be "STALVARU A-B". There is a tiny horseshoe with six nail holes stamped below the name and underneath it appears to read "ESKIISTUNA". You almost need a jeweler's glass to read it, but that's the best I could do. It may be from the early 1950's or even before? If anyone has any idea or information on this little pen knife (which also contains a fingernail file), I would love to hear from you? -Thank you.
Hi, everyone! I'm new to the forum, and I haven't collected knifes for very long so I hope I'll learn a lot from you all.
But maybe I can contribute with some information as well. Kent, I think your knife is manufactured by the company Stålvaru AB, which was quite short-lived. It started in Eskilstuna sometime in the middle of the 40's and closed down in the middle of the 50's. Their logo was a horseshoe.
Knife making has a long history in Eskilstuna, I'm sure that you know that it is the town EKA knifes comes from. There are some collectors of Eskilstuna knifes, but not many, so normally they don't cost much, at least not here in Sweden. It's a really cool knife you got there, though.
