Hello Rich,

Ola Nordmann is apparently a personification of the average Norwegian, like Uncle Sam or "Joe" for US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ola_Nordmann

Could the M.BST stand for M. Blomqvist? According to this: http://kniver.blogspot.com/search/label/Barrel%20knives he produced knives from 1876-1886.

If this is the case, could it be a knife made by Blomqvist for the Norwegian market?

I like the look of barrel knives, been thinking of getting some.

Regards
Emanuel
