What could you say about this?

Airy?

Found these on the web. Seems metal scabbards were used on Scandinavian knives at times.

Could be... This one was among a "lot" of knives in various conditions that I purchased. Thank you all.

I have seen that scabbard before, cannot remember, but either Norwegian or Swedish. John

Thank you. Should be Sweden then. I think I would know about Norway.

I'm Swedish and the crossed arrows are the symbol of the Dalarna province of Sweden (Dalecarlia).
As it happens the city of Mora is located in this province.

On the dagger in post no 4? Eskilstuna is the other knife capital of Sweden. They are not in Dalarna though. Perhaps the sheath and the knife don’t belong together, unless this Eskilstuna manufacturer was inspired by Mora and borrowed the symbol?

They don't belong no, and I haven't said Mora once before just now.

I said elsewhere, I bought a lot of knives, not so much a lot of them. Some would say they coincide but that's just fun.

I mentioned Mora because the double arrow symbol of Dalarna province has been used by knife manufacturers in Mora. I thought the intention of the original post was to query about the sheath and I chipped in.
