Description: "GENSE STAINLESS SWEDEN" Swedish Army Mess Kit Accessory 3-Piece Knife Fork & Spoon Stainless Steel Cutlery Field Set "As Good As It Gets" KRONMÄRKT - Crown Marked on Knife SVENSKA ARMÉNS BESTICK - Swedish Army Cutlery KNIV GAFFEL SKED - Knife Fork Spoon "GENSE STAINLESS SWEDEN" 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. This particular listing is for the less commonly seen Swedish Army utensil sets marked with the three crowns and the wording "GENSE STAINLESS SWEDEN" on the face of the knife. The spoon and fork may or may not also have three crowns or mention Gense. It is my impression this version of Gense made sets is later production than the Gense marked sets where the word Gense is in cursive and there is a single crown. Gense is a major steel producer in Sweden that makes the finest stainless steel cutlery in the world. PLEASE NOTE there are occasionally small casting faults on the knife, fork and/or spoon - they manifest as small black dots and such, not horrible but they are sometimes there. It is a part of the casting process. They are a real size knife, fork and spoon - Swedish soldiers run to the large size. The spoon is as big as 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. 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 up to 2000 grit sandpaper and more mag wheel polish. Highest quality SWEDISH STEEL, they don't get any better than this. Elegantly simple Swedish engineering. All Swedish Army issue, all are used and 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 I will refund any excess shipping you paid, I hate paying too much for shipping and assume you do too. If you buy more than one set in a single order I will assume you will want a variety i.e. I won't send two of the same manufacturer. Again let me know your needs. I can fit up to five sets in a single USPS Small Flat Rate Priority Mail box for $9 to anywhere in USA.
