THE WORKING KNIFE
|
|
… A knife for everyday use.
This type of knife usually classifies as a working knife. It is a typical all round knife that is designed for everyday use. For people who work outdoors, in forest areas, in the household or out at their holiday homes, this type of knife is a perfect choice. It is also great for those who walk in the mountains, and for various types of hobby work where the knife is a necessary tool.
It is exceptionally well suited to children from the age of 14 years upwards, for scouts, and not to forget the craftsmen such as woodworkers and carpenters.
This type of knife is the most popular type of knife bought for Christening presents Confirmations and other special occasions.

HISTORICAL KNIVES
|
|
These knives come primarily from an area where the shape or usage has a historical background. The models known as "Brage" and "Eir" have something in common. They both have a pattern recognised from Northern Germanic styles from the 4th and 5th century. From this the dragon style was developed. this is a style that is uniquely Norse and dates from the 13th century.
The Bergmann Knife is a recreation of the knife used by miners.
