It is beautiful! Call me an idiot, but that doesn't look like a french point in the picture.

If I am mistaken, please correct me.

Well, I dug a little deeper. I believe a more accurate definition of a French point is a blade that has the rounded top at the spine, but the facing edge of the blade continues down in a slope, not a right angle to the point. That would make this, well, I am not sure what that would make this. A rounded top square point?

Nice work. Sounds like Bledge is right - the steel should be English but was made for the Swedish market. Nice post Bledge
I'd call it a Spike...but I could be wrong.
