I was going to criticize your use of a IKEA pencil. But I think it is staying with the theme.

Swedish outdoor kit
- Thread starter Qrt
- Start date
any hints how to get those? (also deseperatly looking for stainless versions but since you say they are re-issued it will be probably difficult to get any surplus.
www.surplus.se sells abroad I guess.
I guess there might be surplus shops in both France and Germany who has them too.

The EKA Big Swede:
It is very similar in design to this Swede 82.
The last time I looked at Ragnar's they had a few others but not the Big Swede. The design differs from that 82 above in size and in that it has no nail nick. Also it is a conventional lock back whereas with that 82 the lock is cunningly hidden as part of the lanyard hole. I don't tend to take folders into the field other than a SAK, this one is my exception. It feels like a trade tool in the most positive sense.
As I understand it EKA provides some blades for Normark that look very similar to this but so do Gerber. I don't want to yell that too loud 'cos it may be wrong. All I'm saying here is that the Normark ones I've had in this range, clearly marked EKA, are good.
While it is a very dated design I think it's a great one - Images of the viscera here

Nice thread. I think a Trangia stove would be a good addition to that kit.

For the American posters: the Silva sold in the US is NOT the Silva of Sweden.
+1 to getting a Swedish mess kit.
BTW, the Swedish mess kit fits perfectly in the Swedish Gas Mask Bag.

Isn't Bahco a Snap On company? Is Kershaw related to Snap On? I bought a snap on ratcheting screwdriver a couple years back. Best tool I own. Hands down. Expensive, but by far the best. The "Sebenza" of screwdrivers.
