Anyone know this brand?
I tried doing some Google-Fu with reverse image searching, but I haven't been able to figure out who makes this knife. Does anyone here recognize the brand?
Thanks

Can’t help but love the Runes for a tang stamp

Scandi grind, so I would say Scandinavian. But the letters/word is Greek to me.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Lettering looks very close to “Pripyat”, a town in Ukraine near where the Chernobyl reactor melted down.

Definitely looks Scandinavian to me.

Nerd alert:
Until I saw this knife, I did not realize how much the Scandinavian runes looked like Tolkien's "Angerthas" alphabet, from the "Lord of the Rings" books. I looked them up really quickly and half of the characters are the same.
I knew that Tolkien was a linguist, and was fluent in Finnish, but did not realize how heavily he borrowed from their languages.
I guess that I should be ashamed to reveal my mis-spent youth, it just took me by surprise.
That is a good, sturdy looking knife you got there. I'll bet it will hold a razor's edge.
Carry on.

Looks like a quality knife; I can't offer any knowledge, except that Finland is not part of Scandinavia. These scandi style knives are so popular they are now made in almost every country that makes knives. The OP knife is sometimes called a Tommi-style puukko (I think).

Re: Anyone know this brand?
After realizing that they were runes based on all the comments, I found a rune translator that got me close to the name. ᚴᚱᛁᛘᚠᚱᚬᛋᛏ translates to Grimfrost, and a little more Google-Fu and I was able to find the knife. Here's a link for anyone interested: https://grimfrost.com/products/nordic-k ... 9725739026.
Thanks everyone for helping me identify this.
Also, anyone interested in the Rune Translator, here's a link to it: https://valhyr.com/pages/rune-translator. This specific rune set was the "Younger Futhark".
