Description: Swedish Army Mess Kit 3-Piece Knife Fork & Spoon Stainless Steel Cutlery Field Set "As Good As It Gets" "509" KRONMÄRKT - Crown Marked on Knife SVENSKA ARMÉNS BESTICK - Swedish Army Cutlery KNIV GAFFEL SKED - Knife Fork Spoon Field cutlery set of stainless steel as issued to the Swedish Army. A spoon, a fork and a knife. The three individual cutlery pieces can be assembled into a bundle by attaching the fork and knife to the spoon, which has two brackets for that purpose. On the blade face of the knife of the sets in this listing there are the three Swedish Crowns (Kronor) as found on all Swedish Army equipment (see pics), along with "509" which I believe is the stainless steel alloy number designation (see link below). These are the same quality sets I've been selling for years, just uniquely marked for those who want something special and uncommon - I see 509 marked sets about 5% of the time. Quite unique utensil set, not often seen. They are a real size knife, fork and spoon - Swedish soldiers run to the large size. The spoon is as big or bigger than a table spoon, the fork is hefty, the knife is not sharpened but you can sharpen it if you want to but it might cut you when you put the set together and especially when you take it apart (that's why the knife is not sharpened). They are not light, they are NOT titanium, they do NOT weigh nothing, they do NOT cost a fortune and they will NOT make you cry when they break because they will NOT break. Each set weighs about 130 grams or 4.6 ounces, the weight varies a bit by manufacturer. If you hit somebody in the head with a set it will hurt, maybe they will bleed. They are not plastic, they are not "sporks", whatever the heck that is. They are not green or blue, they are silver like the fine steel they are. They ARE virtually indestructible, will clean up perfectly every time with soap, water and if really dirty with a Scotch Brite, but they will NEVER RUST. Stainless steel is not a particularly hard kind of steel and they can be polished to a brilliant shine and even if you manage to somehow really scratch them badly the scratches can be removed with a sequence of sandpapers ending in 2000 grit sandpaper (Harbor Freight sells all grades) ending with some auto mag wheel polish and a buffing wheel for a mirror shine. Highest quality SWEDISH STEEL, they don't get any better than this. Elegantly simple Swedish engineering. All are used but not abused Swedish Army issue, all are good. Put only the best in your mouth! Something that won't fail you in the field when your life may depend upon it! Every set I sell is used but as clean as I can make it and every set looks very good. If you buy more than one set and are charged excess shipping costs I will refund the excess, I hate to over pay on shipping, I'm sure you do too. https://dl.asminternational.org/alloy-digest/article-abstract/16/11/Co-54/1517/MAR-M-Alloy-509High-Temperature-Alloy?redirectedFrom=fulltext
