Sweden

FanOfFanboys

So we have one of my wife's friends who lives in Sweden come stay with us for 2 weeks soon.
Anything cool from Sweden I should have her bring? Might give her some $ and have her bring me some stuff if anything cool. I'm into hunting and fishing and of course grilling.

Mora knives. Google them.

Maybe a few swimsuit models...

Seriously though, if, and I know they don't make this in Sweden, but they probably sell it there (and not here) the friend can get a hold of some real black forest ham from Bavaria - ain't no better thing to eat on the planet.

+1 on the Mora's, we can get them at Bushcraft Canada, I have a gutting knife, works well and holds a nice edge, a hunter's knife - have no idea if they make "kitchen" knives.

Thanks for tip. I'll have her check. I'd love a skinning/gutting knife.
Any idea on the price of one?

FanOfFanboys

Also can you recommend a few? I figure this is a opportunity I won't have often, to get something from Sweden without paying shipping and/or something that's hard to get in states.

@nolaegghead I dunno if she can bring food. How would she transport that that'd be cost effective?

She could duct-tape it to her belly and I think she wouldn't have to buy a second ticket

I would think you could bring in at least some food - I honestly don't know the regs on that. 

This stuff is "the bomb" (maybe not a good idea to bring it on a plane).  We'd get one as a gift every Christmas when we lived in Heidelberg.

@nolaegghead so have her try for Adler specifically?

I think they're the original, but there are some other operations down there.  They smoke with fir needles - it will blow your mind.

Looftlighter is a Swedish invention but it's probably cheaper to buy it in USA.

It's basically a cure with a long cold smoke, and lots of aging, could be as long as a year.  Similar to prosciutto but with a fir smoke.

Anyone have suggestions with specific Mora knives to get? It looks like they are pretty cheap so I will prolly get several

There is also a cured smoked lamb called fenalar (sp?) that is amazing as well.

Bought one of these Rosewood/SS fish spatulas from Sweden by Sveico.  Versatile tool and good quality.  Pairs nicely with the CI.

Mine was <$50, it has a "deluxe" handle, same steel was available for <$30. Had it for at least 10 years.
