Hi Par, and welcome to the Porch.

You could keep keep a eye out for Swedish chisels manufactured by Eskilstuna
makers such as E.A.Berg and Jernboulaget. They are makers held in high
regard by some of us here on the Porch.  These chisels are sometimes still
found in my area of 'old tool hell'  lurking in the bottom of boxes of
"junk" at garage sales or at antique/collectible shops for a couple of
dollars, often with the wooden handles missing or damaged. They are, in my
opinion, quality tools well worth looking for!  I have found the Sandvik
chisels of 1970's vintage, the ones with the black plastic handles, to be
reasonably good user tools as well. Older Sandvik hand saws might also be
real prizes as Sandvik still made a decent line of saws in the early 1980's.
The history of saw making in Sweden might be an interesting subject to
research. Perhaps many small firms were swallowed up by Sandvik over the
years (sound familiar?).

I believe the fine reputation of Swedish Steel came from the manufacture of
quality tools and knives made from the iron ore mined in the Eskilstuna
region, and I think  you should have the chance for some first class rust
hunting in your Country, good luck and thanks for posting your bio.
