Morakniv
A used knife I just had to buy. It's a bit neglected but the edge is sharp and it feels good in the hand.
The text RostFrei just means stainless steel, Med skarpa- sharp? And the company name is Morakniv, a Swedish company located in the town of Mora, making quality fixed-blade utility knives since 1891.

Merlin cutaway
I've seen several Merlin cutaway drawings but this one is monumental. I hope the artist has incorporated his name somewhere in all that linework. From the Aviation magazine Yearbook Feb 1942.
Monday Mystery
Thisa came from an old house in Amsterdam, no idea what it is. It came in a box, packaged as shown. Assembled, it turns into a strange tower-like thing. The bulb is hard like a ping pong ball and is connected to that rocket-like head.Any ideas?
