Eklund, P-O
My name is Pär-Olof Eklund, and I live in Skellefteå, a city in the north of Sweden. My first knife was made in the beginning of 1980. Beside the blades, which I buy from the most skillful smiths in this part of Sweden, I do all the work with the knives on my own. During the dark winter months I make the sheaths and the handles, sew the leather and engrave when the knives have got their final design. I use traditional Nordic materials, antler from reindeer and moose, curly grained root from birch and sallow, and leather from reindeer and cattle. The engraving is traditionally carved with knife, and colored with bark from alder-trees or oil color. I am a member of The Swedish, Norwegian and Danish Knife Associations aswell as The Knifeguild of Skellefteå and Grundsunda.
