Featured is a wonderful Antique Swedish Barrel Knife.

One of the most successful Eskilstuna cutlers was Johan Engström (1846 – 1915).
Johan studied knife production in both Sheffield (G. Westerholm & Son) and Solingen.
The company produced high-quality barrel knives and received international recognition at shows in Sweden, France, U.S.A., and Canada.
Johan died in 1915 which marks the end of the Engström company.
The beautiful Curly Birch handle nicely figured and without any noticeable damage or flaws.
Bolsters fit tightly against the wooden barre with no play or gapping present.
The brass liners, marked with JE / 1874 and arrow marks on one side and Joh. Engstrom / Eskilstuna / Sweden on other, are in excellent condition.
The pin in barrel variety locking mechanism locks up tight and secure. Blade is marked Joh. Engstrom / Eskilstuna and shows only minimal wear associated with age.
These knives were made in all different sizes.
