A fine looking piece there. Any provenance on it?

Not really.
There is an abundance of this sort of thing here in Norway
I like fixed blade knives for work and safety. The whole idea is being fast and easy to deploy. If you have to dick around with biners, retaining straps, and tight locations, your system's failed. That fixed blade he showed in the video looked like a good choice. I carried a blunt tipped Remora lashed to my pfd while paddling. Very tight and sure holding mechanism, but very fast to deploy in a stressful situation(I never had one of those). Nothing is 100% foolproof, but my knife, and the one video guy showed is close enough to call it good enough.
I wear my Mora climbing, and it dangles below my saddle. I consider that good enough for what I do. I'm either working alone, or with one other person. If I had a ground crew under me all the time, I'd likely get something different. I've never lost it climbing, but I lost it's predecessor while on the ground when it got grabbed by some brush. It's a very uncommon problem, but common enough to warrant concern when there's someone it can fall on from height.
Got a Morakniv Craftline Basic today. Couldn't help myself...
Pretty nice for a <$12 knife. A little shorter than the Companion, and doesn't have rubber on the hilt, so it doesn't feel as nice in-hand. For the price, it would be worth buying a few and leaving them in locations where they could be needed.

this is all my Moras...

I have a friend, who makes knives as a hobby.
So I asked him to make one for an x-mas gift for one of my apprentices.
4000 year old bog Oak, dead Elephant and Elm burl.
The other apprentice is getting a dining table in Red Oak that we are mking together.

and it's quite the tool, not the tiny knife for the sausage at the camp fire.
