Looks great as usual! I'm wondering what the ring on the knife is for? What purpose does it have if you just hang the knife in the belt with the ring on the sheat?
Sorry! The small ring on the handle is a common feature on knifes with deep sheaths, it´s used to make removal from the sheath more easy. Like a draw-ring.
Thanks, Edvin! And excuse my lousy Swedish:-). As I said, interesting knife, and great insight into the historical aspects you´re giving here! They are appreciated.:-)
Tack Tove! En liknande kniv kostar ca 2000-2500:- beroende på utförande, skaftmaterial och vilket knivblad som önskas. Om du är intresserad så skicka ett mail så kan vi diskutera vidare!
Knivet är mycket bra, är det laminerat stal?
ReplyDeleteTack sa mycket för posten!
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe blade is UHB 20C Carbon Steel if I remember correctly. It´s been laying around the workshop forever before finding a good project.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThe ring in the sheath is used to connect the knife to the belt or fibula. This was usually done with a chain or leather strap.
Look at this original from Fröjel:

Oh yes, that I understood :) I was wondering about the ring on the knife, not the one on the sheath.
