Got hold of some NOS KJ Eriksson knife blades, i'm going to try to make some nice handles for them. Bought two carbon steel ones and two stainless ones. The brand KJ Eriksson disappeared in 2005 and then became what is today Morakniv. The stainless they used should be according to my research...

Probably made by Arno. They have been making straps since 1942!

Helmets with a built in solar panel is a big no-no for me.

New year, "new" vise! Bofors cast steel vise, made in Sweden. It will be media blasted and restored to former glory and put back into action! As with all pictures of vises it looks enormous, but it's a mid-sized one, weighing in at about 8kg. I'm also planning on fabricating a movable stand for...

As a Swede, i hate Snap-On for what they did to Bahco. Unforgivable.

Small set of files from Ajax. I have never heard of Ajax before. It turns out it's a really old Czech company from 1921, specializing in making files. They are still made in the same factory in Czech today as they were over 100 years ago.

Always remove plating prior to welding. As for the protection, i would probably put some oil on it to prevent rust. Easily removed when it's time to weld.

Best thing i did with mine was to sell it. I Really didn't understand the hype over these Opinels. They are cheap and feels cheap. Rubbish blade lock. OK, they get a bonus point for using swedish steel, but that's about it.

I found it on my Swedish Toyo dealers website, they sell them for $5 each. Maybe they got a bunch from a shipment?

We all love our Toyo steel toolboxes, but did you know they make rulers made from toolbox scraps?

Only a few left: Momento - Impact sockets. Hultafors - Folding rulers. SKF - Although not a tool maker, still have some machining done in Sweden. Ballograf - If a pen counts as a tool. Might be a few more that i can't think of right now.

Not to worry thou, the real Morakniv are still made in Sweden, and most of them still uses Swedish steel too!

I'm not sure about the cast metal parts, but all the plastic bits are Swedish made. In Bollnäs i believe. And of course the blade itself, witch is made in the SNA factory in Lidköping.

I was just thinking the other day to buy some Spid brushes, how do you like them?

Vintage Swedish steel ruler by "Emil Olsson". They were most famous for making pocket knifes. But in the 1920's they started making steel rulers. The company disappeared in the 60's. The finish is plain steel, no fancy stainless, no plating, no nothing. I'm not even sure if its hardened. The...
