I hope you find someone to rescue that knife. If it were me I would do it myself. Trace the the grip style and remove old skin and make yourslf some new grips with whatever wood you would want.
That would be a great project great find by the way.

really just need to replace the scales of the knife. not a hard process and theres just tons of knife makers out there that could do it for you. I did an image search and I think I might of found who makes the knife so you may want to contact them. https://viking-knife.shop/

The back of the blade looks like it was beat with a hammer. Some file work would clean that up. Looks like a pattern to me, but not sure

I'm not familiar with someone who could restore the knife for you, but that is a great find. Really cool looking knife!

The back of the blade looks like it was beat with a hammer. Some file work would clean that up. That's a very common decorative pattern filed into the back of the blade.

To me, I think it looks like a cheaper knife, and not worth the money and effort to have it restored. I'd soak the whole thing down with WD40 or similar, use an old tooth brush to get it cleaned up, sharpen and use it. click here I didn't search much but this popped up as an example, $20. That said if you can find markings on the knife that indicate its something special, disregard what I've said.

I believe he found the maker as the knives on that site have the same little emblem in the handle, and the same marks on the top of the blade on some of them.

There is one with a similar mosaic pin but those pins are very common available to many knife makers... https://www.makermaterialsupply.com...1KmEpGkHXe3RnqX2cJKWBX5f6y-5-W_RUnMq1FGM
