I bought this knife at a flea market in Brussels.
The manufacturer is "Jernbolaget" from Eskilstuna the famous knife city in Sweden. They closed around the 1960s.
The blade measures 267mm / 10.5 inches and seems to be some kind of carbon steel.
The handle seems to be made a rosewood and rivets of brass.
It's in overall great condition, after I cleaned it and remove a bit of rust.
My wife made a nice leather sheath to protect our hands from the long blade.
Could you please help me to date it more precisely and most importantly to know what kind of knife. I figure, with the lenght, some kind of butcher's knive.
Cheers!
