- Lot Description
Homemade Knife and Sheath with Norwegian Brusletto Blade. Handle is made from horn (likely deer), and the sheath is leather with hand-made forest and other natural designs on it. The blade indicates it came from Brusletto during their 100 year anniversary (1996).
Size: 2 x 8 1/4 in.
#4614 .
In 1896 Rognald Brusletto established the knife and scythe forging company in Geilo, Norway. At the time it was considered an innovative company that adopted new technology, including hydro-powered forges and a uniquely angled turning house. By 1912 their new techniques with a scythe gave them an edge over nearby competitors, effectively making them the only manufacturer in the region. However, in 1917 a dam was breached and a massive flood destroyed the factory. Over the next two years the company rebuilt an electric workshop in Lauvrudfossen, and renamed themselves AS R. Brusletto & Sønner. In 1930 Brusletto switched the company to salt hardening and casting in electric ovens instead of coal-fired kilns, a method they always used afterwards. Brusletto died in 1935 and his sons continued the company, changing the focus to hunting and outdoor knives. They weathered World War II and remained one of the most popular brands in northern Europe, crafting their first Olympic knife in 1952, introducing the well-balanced Brusletto Hunter knife in 1961, and a newly improved Olympic knife for the memorable Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994. The 21st Century brought new challenges in a constantly expanding global market, and the company was acquired by the Dalema Group in 2018. Today they continue to manufacture knives as well as axes and sharpening tools at their Geilo factory, celebrating their 125th anniversary in 2021 despite the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, and pioneered offering make-your-own knife, sheath, and ferrules kits to allow the ultimate customization in a weapon while keeping their high quality blades in demand.
