When I first started doing research on Swedish chisels, I saw a blade stamp that caught my interest. It was an airplane, apparently in a nose dive. The airplane image sparked my imagination and I made a note of it. I wasn’t certain that it was a Swedish brand at first, but I eventually acquired one that had “Eskilstuna” imprinted on the blade.<\/p>\n

I still don’t know much about this brand. So, “Diving Airplane” is the name I’ll use for this brand until I know more. Hopefully, others have additional information and will send it to me.<\/p>\n

This Diving Airplane chisel is pretty rough, but it shows a typical Swedish-style design. The bolster on the blade is a bit unusual … it’s not round, but squared off with rounded edges.<\/p>\n

On the blade stamp, above the airplane, it looks like “… SVE …” on top and “ST\u00c5L” just below it. “ST\u00c5L” is Swedish for “steel”<\/p>\n

My friend Russell S.\u00a0 informed me that the first line above “ST\u00c5L” reads “PRIMA SVENSKT” which translates to “first-rate Swedish”. That can be seen clearly on the recently acquired photo below.<\/p>\n

It would be nice to know a lot more about this brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
