CaptC Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 "Big Swede" by Normark 3.5" blade. 5" long tip to tip. The blade is sharp but has old "sharpening" marks on it (or it might be meant to look like it?) Comes with a leather sheath made by Whitby (The Ace) Quite a rare knife - £30 posted thank you. CR Johnson Gillwell Scout knife - rosewood handle 3.75" blade with original sheath. The pommel has some marks due to the boy scout. "Gillwell" engraved on the blade. (Gillwell is the Scout's HQ) I would date the knife as early 50's? - £35 posted thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
