Help me identify this old knife. Possibly Mora?
My father has an old knife that he traded for with a sailor while working at the shipyard. It looks like a Mora blade but I've never seen one like this before. The blade is removable by pressing a button in the pommel to release the pins holding the blade in. He said when he got it it came with a replacement blade that was longer, slid into a sleeve in the back of the sheath. Any help identifying it would be appreciated.

Could be a more scuba knife.. but you should see it marked..
Does it say what kind of steel? Is it stainless?
Says Stainless and Sweden on the blade, and the market looks like the Mora mark.
Interesting knife never seen one like that.

I think it's an old Mora Marine Scout knife.. but I could be wrong.Originally Posted by Caper86
The shipyard he worked at used a lot of Mora knives, they were treated as disposable and replaced instead of sharpened. I don't know if the person he traded with was a coworker or somebody visiting the port. I think it's about 30 years old or more as he stopped working there before I was born. Anyone guess what it's worth?
That's a very interesting knife. I haven't seen one quite like that before.
I agree with exy because dive knives do come apart for cleaning
No info but that's really cool.
Don't worry about the monetary value. It's an heirloom. That's priceless.
