A Swedish Erik Frost Mora knife, probably from the 1950's, with zero edge scandi grind carbon steel blade.
The leather sheath has a metal rim (painted red)
The knife was basically new & unused when i got it, but it had been sheathed for quite a few decades.
This is how it looked when i got it, and part of the edge still had a visible burr.

I renewed the edge on my Tormek T7 and gave the rest of the blade somewhat of a satin finish.
The fiber in the guard and below the butt had swollen a bit, so i sanded it flush with the brass and did some polishing.

Amazing work, how did you achieve that result. ;D
With some prectice, a pinch of elbow grease, and of course my Tormek T7 to renew the slightly hollow scandi grind.
My T7 is fitted with an SB-250 Blackstone, which i use mostly to put factory-like edges on various stainless steel knives.
However, for sharpening & especially grinding wider scandi bevels on lower alloy carbon steels it is relatively slow.
The standard SG-250 stone would have been a much better/faster choice, but i do not own one.
