Swedish Skinning Knife by K.J.Eriksson-Mora-Sweden. ED 2617. - ED 2617
Mora have been creating sharp knives for the rest of the world for more than 400 years. The seed of what would become one of the world's most popular knife manufacturers was sown as early as 1891 when Frost-Erik Erson returned to the village of Östnor in Mora after four years of work as a lumberjack in North America. Krång-Johan Eriksson also known as "Liss-Majt-Johan", "Bullas-Johan" or simply "KJ" was born4th October 1889 Östnor, Mora. KJ grew up in Tåmåsbyn, Östnor, and early on showed signs of entrepreneurship. As a young man, he would cycle around Mora selling bread and cookies that he had bought from his older sister Anna, who owned the café Bullas Kafé, which was almost across the road from Carl Andersson’s factory. KJ once said, that at age 12, he earned as much from his business as an adult man with a permanent job. The single sided blade is 9 ¼ cm long (19 ½ cm overall. ‘K.J.Eriksson-Mora-Sweden’ is engraved to one side of the blade. The plain wood grip is in remarkably good condition. The blade appears to have been re sharpened. The ornately imprinted leather scabbard has ‘Mora’ below a coat of arms. There is a belt hook above, held with a metal clip. The stitching to the rear is showing signs of age. The price includes UK postage. ED 2617. (Drawers)
