Sooooo... resurrecting this thread... I figure it's better than just adding another to the MANY of C.V Heljestrand (I hope someone actually see it )...
had to ask you guys, i've seen a CV Heljestrand Eskilstuna "N°6" and a "MK N°6".. they just look the same... but i'm confused for the lack of either MK, RK, or BK on the one that only has N°6
On other posts here it seems like it could be M. K. = Magnus Kindal, B. K. Berte Kindal and R. K. Rickard Kindal, But also it seems like it could indicate the difference of making...


i've read also that the MK N°6 is made of a different steels, even harder than other models...

any idea if then the ones with no MK are just crappy?

that would be really sad cause I'm about to clean, polish, re-scale (possibly ebony or black horn) and hone this one:

please let e know if anyone has the ones without the "MK" .. would love to know your impressions, especialy if you can compare it with the MK6
