Tim,
From the beginning i was convinced it isn't a tourist knife. This knife has a story and didin't started its life as a letter opener. I think it is a bit to short for a snow cutter. Those knifes are longer.
I suppose you don't have the scabbard?

The more i look at it the more i see an older knife and most probably from the arctic area. Antler and bone is there more avaible than iron.

Look at this knife. I bought it in Sweden on a fair during a summer holiday. It has a bit the same look like your knife. That's why I think you have to look in the scandinavian area for its origin.
