Trash or Treasure, IPCO ?

[survivor45]

Hello all, it’s been years since I’ve been here on the forum. And even then I was mostly over in the axe section.
I just picked up an IPCO knife. I’ll describe it as a “Scandinavian style “. I can’t find much info about this knife or the company. Can anyone here tell me a little about this knife? Are they decent quality? It seems well built to me. Where was it made. It is etched on the blade “IPCO Sweden “. But a lot of the IPCO knives I see on eBay say they were made in Japan.
I’d appreciate any information
Thanks

IPCo was Inventors Products Company, a fishing tackle company based in Minnesota 70's-80's. It matches the Normark line pretty good, with minor changes. The Normark knives were handled by Fiskars, so it's a good chance this one was too.
