Description: This design, which is one of the most unique designs I have ever seen, is truly creative. Stefan tells me that this design is originally from Sweden from the turn of the last century, perhaps deriving from horseman's knives, where it is critical that the rider is protected from the blade during falls. The blade is separated from the handle, opened, and re-inserted into the handle.
