I have searched but have not specific information yet. I would appreciate information regarding an FM Mattesson AB Mora Sweden knife I recently obtained. Information such as year made, handle material, steel material. The information or a link to where it might be would be appreciated. See two photos attached.
Many Thanks!

A 1945 catalog says its slidkniv #24. Blade stamping was used before WW2, but the FMM logo on the sticker doesn't appear in the catalogs until the after the war, from the early 1950s until 1961 when FMM went out of business.
Blade is laminated, with a core of hardened high carbon steel similar to O-1, with soft low carbon laminates on the outside.
Handle material is most likely karelian birch.
