Swedish knife info pls
Found this Swedish Mora knife. Clearly stamped Erik Frust. Quite interesting as google AI insists that Frust must be a miss spelling of Frost. Indeed the very same model of red painted birch handle knife is available from Frost in Mora called Frost No2. That model blade is 7mm shorter than my Frust knife, so what is going on. Sadly the belt loop has worn away. Nice painted "boiled ?" hard leather scabbard. As you can see boldy spamped Frust and no misstake. Any help?

Searching through Frost old cataloges this knife and scabbard, certainly the scabbard seems to have been in production from 1911 to 1940. Still the problem of Frust stamping?

I am nearly sure that the "u" is a poorly stamped "o". The stamp completely is clearly the stamp from the Frost company. Regards, Detlef |

Detlef, that last picture of your's brought back memories for me. I had one of those Moras when I was a 14 year old, I bought it at the ship chandlers in Falmouth on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Mine didn't have a Norwegian Scout embossed on the sheath.
For $5.00 I deemed it a great bargain at the time.  That was 65 years ago. |
