Kids today would be better off if military service was still mandatory

The 3 crowns on the sheet, is the Swedish Army stamp of approval, yet its the basic kit knife. Later on if you had signed up for trench foot and really loved eating mosqitoes cause you watched too many rambo movies you recived A1 fällkniven a much larger pice.

Quality is not that good though. These are knifes bought by construction workers, used for a short time and then disgarded. They are nice when knew for as long as it lasts

​@@philiplaurell1163they make the knives for different applications. The newer knives with plastic grips are made for the construction worker market. They are cheap, but made from high quality tool steel. They are edge-hardened and will retain an edge for longer, but are difficult to re-sharpen. Older knives with wooden grips are usually of a different steel quality than the plastic ones and are easier to sharpen. You can even find Mora knives with laminated steel. They've made dozens of models over the years and made changes both in terms of materials and also visual design changes. It is sometimes hard to say what type of steel is used in specific models, just from looking at the handle and sheath, but the old ones are always worth a closer look because some of them are superb quality blades.

The belt slots on this model of sheath were flat from the factory, but they were a bad design and you needed to pry them apart real hard in order to thread them on a leather belt. The belt loop used to be a separate piece made from leather or pvc and riveted to the sheath. These were much softer. Later models were re-designed so that the middle piece was offset from the others, making room for a thicker belt. Most workers would not carry the knife on a belt though but hang the knife from a button on their overalls, either on the bib, by the hip or on the thigh. Hanging the knife from the belt is pretty awkward when you sit in a car or on a chair. It's also in the way if you want to use a tool belt or if you work outside and wear a jacket. So most guys actually carry the knife on the thigh pocket next to the folding ruler. Swedish work clothes usually come with these dedicated knife buttons so you can choose wich way you want to carry your knife. You can see the top of the slot has a wider hole to go around a button.

Але ці моделі і зараз продаються. Здається, по товщині клинка по ХЗ не проходить

Thank you! No, I didn't try

If the rust is hard, then no. Also, the whole workshop will be in the dust
