Gallery of old Nordic multitools
on: February 15, 2021, 01:29:25 PM
This is a website I have used a lot for referencing Mora knives but I think you will enjoy the section on folders/ multitools.

http://www.cultur.nu/knivar/fallknivmapp1.htm

It’s a collection of pictures from auctions that the author has collected over the years. Mainly nordic manufacturers but also others.

I find the prevalence of different manufacturers of a “SAK” knife in the beginning of the 20th century very interesting.

Realized that it was impossible to reach to the Mora knife page from the link above so here's that.

Not a manufacturer of multitools but they did try to sell their knives as such. :)
But they did make a folding knife of sorts called "Barrel knife" (tunnkniv).

Thanks for showing us that...
Oh man, that "Barrel knife" is awesome... had to google it.

Bit more information here
And someone on Blade-Forum made one

Also, I was today's years old when I learned that Mora is a place, not a company (the company is Mora of Sweden/Morakniv but that "Barrel knife" is also a Mora even though it was made by Jönsson Brothers).
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Great info!  Those barrel knives aren't cheap.
