An exceptional handcrafted Norwegian knife from the mid-to-late 20th century, combining a prestigious ØYO Geilo forged blade with masterful folk art woodcarving by a skilled private craftsman. The blade bears the distinctive ØYO Geilo maker's mark, stamped by one of Norway's most celebrated blade smiths from the renowned Geilo region.
A talented Norwegian hobbyist knife maker hand-carved the beautifully shaped wooden handle with smooth, ergonomic lines and warm honey tones, accented by a brass ferrule collar. The carbon steel blade displays honest patina from age and use, testament to its authentic history.
The accompanying hand-carved wooden sheath is a masterpiece of Norwegian folk art. Carved entirely by hand, the sheath features deep relief carving depicting a traditional mountain hunting scene: a hunter with his loyal dog traversing the rugged landscape. Every detail demonstrates exceptional skill and patience, capturing the spirit of traditional Nordic outdoor life through intricate woodwork.
