**edit: they’re also stayin’ in the fam… if you will

My father’s knife, and his father’s before him. Acquired in the 40s or 50s while hiking in the Swedish mountains. Sami pattern, marked “Sylarna”, a mountain on the border between Sweden and Norway.

A tool used by your father and grandfather is a fantastic piece of family history, the very definition of an heirloom. Great to see living history like that.

Baxtrom I saw you post that lovely knife - what a treasure being your Grandfather’s! Just an awesome piece in every way!

Ed - I really like that Venture, that’s a real wee sweetheart of a Knife there!

Kev my friend - I enjoyed seeing yysh quote that beautiful trio of Peach Seeds, all of them Eye Candy.

I have posted these before, individually and in pairs, scattered around various threads. Got them out yesterday for a group shot. I didn't realize the NYK was the longest in open position, the frames of it and the Case coke bottle are the exact same length but the lockback feature allows for a longer blade. Approximately 1/4" longer. The NYK is about 9 15/16".

I bought a $2 knife on Swedish eBay because I wanted to try restoring it. I chopped down an old plum tree, and made new scales replacing the old cracked ones. (Restoring the knife was not the main reason for chopping it down, I’m not that knife-crazy )

I know it’s not a super fit if you look closely but I’m very happy with the result

Here is a local antique store find; pre-1940 Case stockman. It seems to still have a lot of life left in it.

Thanks Gus

 

[Frank.K]

Thanks guys! I actually left it at first but couldn’t relax without it, so I went back and bought it.

Added a complete Ulery Tool Kit to the collection. An early example of a multi-tool. Pretty nifty how the tools attach opposite to the main blade.

That's pretty cool!
I've seen them sometimes on the auction site, and thought it looks like a nice Jack Knife, even without the tools.
