Another addition to my collection (obsession) of Swedish knives

[Ystranc]

This small Skog lock knife is a pleasure to handle. An all wooden handle and a high carbon scandi ground blade and brass hinge

Very nice

I've just fettled it and now it's sharp as a razor

A less than perfect example of a lock knife by the Finnish knife maker J Marttiini. When you handle it you can just feel the build quality. Razor sharp and still rock solid, I would cheerfully choose this one over many modern fixed blade knives.
The damage to the scales was caused by years of wear from the back of a press stud on a belt pouch.
