Skidkniv N. 1102 and N.1114






Nr 1102 (smaller) and N1114

Invented by BÖHLMABK & Co https://oldmora.blogspot.com/2021/05/BohlmarkCo.html, who at the time was the general agent for Frosts Knivfabrik https://oldmora.blogspot.com/2021/11/Frost.html, from the early days until the 1960s. The main purpose of this knife was to adjust the bindings used in those days and to scrape snow and ice from the skies. It also had a sharp spine. 

In Morakniv blog article "Skis, poles, Morakniv!" https://morakniv.se/en/morakniv-stories-en/skis-poles-morakniv/  Thomas Eriksson wrote "However, why was the knife so important? Well, apart from the obvious when you would cut a piece of the food bag you brought with you, it says perhaps most about the substandard ski waxing products of that time. If the weather was trickled with temperature changes, the icing under the skis could be noticeable and the obvious tool to get rid of ice and snow was to scrape the skis clean with the back of the knife."

There were two versions, the N. 1102 with a blade of 102mm and overall size 205mm, and the N. 1114 with a 114mm blade and overall size 225mm. It came with a leather sheath with a skier engraved on the front and metal ornaments. Both models were made out of stainless steel.




Some production batches (not sure at the moment the time frame) have stamped on the blade the patent number SVENSKT PAT N.o 84013 and NORSKT PAT N.o 55835, which correspond to the Swedish and Norwegian patent.

The one with the patent stamp is thicker than the one without the stamp, 25mm vs 22mm.

It appears on the catalogs from the 1930s until the 1960s. My guess is, probably when BÖHLMABK  and Frosts Knivfabrik ended their partnership, BÖHLMABK took the patent with them ???

Photo credit Christopher Marchetti I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible opportunity Cody afforded me earlier this year. His willingness to spend time with me and record a video interview was truly a remarkable experience that I will cherish forever. The video in links bellow in the article.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvgZJciZBG4 A few months ago, I wrote a couple of articles about Mors Koshanki, who I believe introduced and popularized the Mora knife in the bushcraft, survival, and outdoor living skills scene, especially in North America. Can be found here  https://oldmora.blogspot.com/2021/12/Morskochanski.html and and  https://morakniv.se/en/morakniv-stories-en/in-memory-of-mors-kochanski-1940-2019/ However, Cody Lundin is another person who brought the Morakniv to the spotlight. Most people know Cody from his appearances on survival shows on TV, such as "Dual Survival" and "The Today Show". However, it was on "D...

In total, they will have 8 children.  1891 also mark the year when he opened the sled and carriages factory called Erik Frost.
