Help identifying Mora knife

[Jbrown250]

Hey everyone:

Found one of my Dad’s old knives in his tackle box. Was just curious if anyone here could help identify the model or approx year. Bonus if anyone could share info on the steel used!

It has definitely been through the ringer lol.

Thanks.

Scout 39 model?

Ah thank you. It appears to maybe be an older scout 39.

You may be able to find the ballpark age by checking out the blade markings and such here

It's a scout knife from around 1979 or thereabout.
This is what Mora says about the laminated steel they use today, I don't think they have changed it to much.

This steel grade is unique for knives from Morakniv. The core of the blade is made of high carbon steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. A high hardness, HRC 58-60, can be achieved through hardening, and the result is a knife blade with superior toughness and cutting edge retention. Thereby it reaches maximum sharpness and long life. The blade can also be bent into a predetermined shape, which makes knives with these kind of blades appropriate for woodcarving. The laminated steel’s core has a carbon content of 1% and its sides < 0,2%. Laminate steel blades can sometimes be found to have a knotty or unfinished blade surface. It comes from the rollers in the rolling mill where the laminate steel is fused
