I picked up this little slipjoint at the weekend, it was in amongst a few junk knives & I thought it looked interesting even though I hadn't my glasses so couldn't read the stamp. I was happy later at home to see EKA Sweden as the tang stamp on the 2, 1/2" blued carbon blade. Single blade with a stainless bottle opener / screwdriver, thick brass liners covered by coffin shaped black plastic covers.
Online searching has turned up nothing. I know EKA have been a popular company for making runs of promotion knives & wonder if this is one? Though no company logo......... Odd knife though I like it.

Looks unused, nice find! I like pen knife type patterns and have lots, but that is one I have not even seen before.

Same here, probably the first coffin shaped folder I've liked!

Contact the compan, I have in the past. They take English emails and respond in English. They gave me the back story on my Eka Swede 110.

Thanks, I think so. It's very slicey with a flat grind, I think it's going to see some pocket time.
 
Thought I'd add this on to this thread rather than start a new one as I've just picked up another old Eka, this time a Swede 38, it needed cleaning & despite the coating worn from the blade it appears to never have been sharpened!
So after a clean & sharpen I'm pretty happy as it's a nice knife, this came from the same flea market as the 22, it's an area here in southern Spain where a community of Scandinavians have holiday homes so that goes somewhere to explaining why these turned up.
