Hedengran & Sons Eskilstuna Bone Jack 1833-1900 (Swedish)

Post by LongBlade »

This is a long description and lots of photos but think it helps to see the knife with all described – but please ask if any questions….

(4” closed so a good sized jack knife) – Nice smooth bone with sabre ground master blade. Excellent snap on both blades & corkscrew opening and closing – no half stops on blades; Tight/No wobble; Smooth bone handles have minor hairline crack at end pin on both mark and pile sides (see photos); Brass liners and pins; Master blade lightly sharpened and looks almost full length; Pen blade looks short in length - I am not sure of original pen blade shape and can only say I have seen 3 other Finnish jacks from other makers with similar sharpened pen blades so really not sure – I think if the length of the pen blade was significantly longer it would block the pull on master blade; Corkscrew looks to be full and is tight & snaps. Tang stamp on Master – Hedengran & Sons and a #36 stamped on tang of pen blade. The center brass liner has a bend where the tip of knife would sit but importantly does not affect blade at all in opening and closing – just pure speculation as it may just be bent from damage but because of the placement of bend I am not sure if it was put there to hold blade in place given the blade size - It looks symmetrical with the other liner past the blade tip where the liner flares out the same both directions (hope I am being clear but again just guessing on bend in liner). Old Knife - Jim Hedengran started making knives in 1833 in Eskilstuna Sweden and stamp became Hedengran & Sons from 1870 -1900 so the knife is about 120 years old or older. Hedengran is one of the more rare Swedish makers to find. Selling it only because it is not a good fit for what I have been collecting. $65 plus cost of shipping of your choice.

Hi KJ - Good question as a few years back when I got it the seller thought it was another natural material but close examination does show some haversian canals - so believe it is smooth bone and a few big slabs on each side as well.. The swedish knife makers for the most part used smooth bone but other natural handle materials exist. The thing about this maker is that he was known but rather obscure - have not seen many of his knives compared to the more well known makers in Sweden.
