Swedish Military Stainless Steel Dish

Sometimes the most unassuming pieces of surplus carry the most character. This Swedish stainless steel dish may not shout for attention, but its clean curves and polished surface tell the story of practical design built to serve without fail. Measuring 10 inches long, 5.25 inches wide, and 1.75 inches deep, it was originally designed for military medical service, where reliability took precedence over aesthetics. It works just as well as a gear tray on a desk, food prep dish, a catch-all by the door, a camp plate that will outlast aluminum or plastic, or a collectible reminder of Cold War ingenuity. Unused condition. Genuine European Military Surplus. Made in Sweden.

Expert Tips: Stainless steel needs little care beyond warm water and soap, but a quick polish with a microfiber cloth will keep its shine. For practical use, it’s ideal for camp kitchens or shop benches where toughness matters. For display, pair it with other Swedish surplus medical gear to tell the full story of military field medicine.
