Lloyd90 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Anyone know anything about them? Was given it by my cousin as he never used it, been sat in my draw for ages with me hardly using it 🤣 Are they any good? Worth keeping or just sell off? I just use a cheap knife now a days.

old'un Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Don't seem to-be much about them in the UK but the yanks seem to like them and talk about how well the keep a keen edge, don't think they are still trading but they were made in Norway/Sweden, worth keeping. One here on ebay...https://www.ebay.com/itm/296517019756?itmmeta=01J109T3EBBW4ZKHPKBB6HMBNX&hash=item4509caa86c:g:Cd8AAOSwWslmdIaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were made in '67. Identical really except the filleting version's blade tapers all along its length to a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 I can remember them quite well, in fact I had a filleting version, with a curved thin blade, early 1970's I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mable Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I remember Normark from the early 70s, excellent knives. Just about everyone I knew had one back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchstone Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 My brother and I had these Normark knives in the early 1980s. We ordered them from Mullarkey & Sons Ltd. and I think they were £9.95 or thereabouts. I remember them being excellent but they never really got put to much proper use in those days. I stupidly swapped mine at school for a pocket sized Panasonic radio. I'm not sure what happened to my brother's one. I still use the Presentation Fillet version that I bought around 1992 for sea fishing. Again, it's an excellent knife and better than any other filleting knives that I've used with the possible exception of Moras of which I've bought a couple recently. I think the Normarks fell foul of the bean counters. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
