Fallkniven Is for Sale

Peter Hjortberger, owner of Fallkniven, says the Swedish knife company is up for sale. In an open letter in the July Blade magazine (page 40), Hjortberger explained:

[A]s a result of continuous bad health because of two heart attacks during fall 2004, I have decided to sell the Fallkniven company .... Since the inventory is large and fresh, the molds and tools, etc., are little used and with a good, worldwide reputation, we understand that a serious bid will pass 2 million US dollars. Sorry, there won't be any clearance sale or discounted quotes--if we don't get a serious bid, we will sell the products at standard quotes til the stock is zero.

This is old news. On another forum, Peter recently told us his health is under much better control. The notice on the website, that the company was up for sale, has been removed.

I am glad to hear that. Good news indeed.

I really hope that Peter keeps running Fallkniven. Under his leadership the company has come up with some of my favorite designs from a manufacturer.
