True, but you should pay attention only to old knives - 40-50-60's and early.
The build quality was better then now, and have real forged knife.
Or contact the masters, as you with Pasi, and another custom masters.
The vast majority of Scandinavian industrial knives today have various disadvantages,
even Mora, if compared with its old production.

Roselli could not resist even a small walk.
The knife is good - the sheath bad.
I went into the bus, drove a little, the bus stopped abruptly at the moment when I got up from the seat, I was blown forward by inertia. The knife touched the chair in the aisle and came off. Well, that did not hurt anyone

I looked - the skin except that it was impregnated with nothing, it breaks easily, like a wet paper.
I only met this kind on my old grandfather's harness when I accidentally found her in a barn. She lay there for about 50-60 years and in her arms she broke easily.

Now, in any case, need to make a new scabbard.


White traces - I rubbed the wax "renaissance".
But if the skin is initially bad, then nothing will help.
Maybe it was necessary to soak in the wax, that is,
lower the sheath into a liquid wax and stand for several days?
But still I'm not sure





There is one interesting idea.
One master decided to restore the old Scandinavian knives
with a bad handle and bad / no sheath in an original way.
There are old Russian shoes - lapty (bast shoes).
From the word "lapa" - foot.






Here are some examples of work,
