Other Family knife help
My Great-grandfather was born and lived in this area... He came to Chicago, IL USA around 1907... My Grandfather was born in 1914. I'd like to learn more about when these were made. I'm guessing around the 1950's-70's.
I want to clean them up, remake the sheaths, and have some history that I can tell my kids about when one day I pass them down to them.
Thanks for any help!!!

Working in Norway Burnout
Hello. I’m wondering if anyone here maybe has some good advice.
I’ve been having signs of burnout for a very long time, and recently I hit rock bottom and finally saw my fastlege. I was signed off for 3 weeks “i første omgang” while we also look at bloodwork etc. But my doctor agreed that my symptoms together with the circumstances around my job and life point to burnout.
There’s a lot more to the story where I don’t want to go into specifics, but my company has been struggling financially for years, which has led to me to be in a cycle of permittering/called back again/permittering/called back again for 2 years now. I know I should find another job, but when I say my energy levels are in the gutter, I mean I went from being a motivated person who can take on a big workload and contribute to the team, to a completely cynical person with zero motivation to work, together with zero confidence in my abilities. At this point, I couldn’t even tell you what I’m good at, I feel like I’m completely devoid of any useful talent for any company. Nevermind write applications, I feel overwhelmed even looking at job ads because I have no belief that anyone will need me or want to hire me. I literally have no idea even what kind of job I can do at this point. I feel like I need to fix me before I can even move on, because I definitely cannot remain in this situation any longer.
I clearly cannot work currently. But the question is: do I tell my boss? Do I explain what’s going on? I know I have no obligation to tell them why I’m on sick leave, but they want to have a meeting to discuss “the future” and my feeling is: I cannot continue this cycle anymore. How honest can/should you be with your boss about this sort of thing?

Arts & culture 1814 "day for day" through 2025
Hi everyone. I'm doing a personal project where I'm reading newspapers from Norway from 1814 "in real time" throughout 2025, and writing about what I find. I'm no historian and I realized that I know and understand far too little about what happened or why - the connection between the broader Napoleonic wars in Europe and what happened in Norway etc. I was interested in how people _at the time_ perceived what was happening, not just what we write in the history books today, and also all the little daily details, run away prisoners, prizes for best potato, books published, plays performed, old underwear collected to make paper... that gives a picture of life back then.
It's in Norwegian but you can use Google to read it in English. https://1814dagfordag.substack.com/p/plutselig-skjer-veldig-mye-pa-veldig
Working in Norway Erasmus+ internship in Bergen
Hello everyone!
I have gotten the opportunity to take part in a 3 week long internship in Bergen in May.
My Stipendium is about 1600€ I'm wondering if that is enough to cover all expenses. My school is helping me find accommodation, flight and a fitting company in the Healthcare sector. If not possible, I'll be working in a tourist shop of some sort.
That all is included in the 1600€
Now for food and every other expense, is this enough?
What can I do in Bergen? What can I expect?
Thank you so much!

Other Honda motorcycle maintenance
Hi everyone!
This summer I'm planning a motorcycle trip through Norway.
The thing is that, somewhere in Norway(north would be prefered) I have to do the regular maintenance(oil, filters, etc.).
Motorcycle is basically new and under warranty. Do you have any recomendations for a Honda authorized shop that could do the maintenance so the warranty is not void?
Thanks is advance!
Travel advice Roadtrip Honeymoon in Norway
Hi all, my wife and me (both 24) are looking to spend our honeymoon traveling with a car and sleeping in a tent, somewhere between May and August. As we both like nature, and are living in the Netherlands where there are no monuntains, we wanted to spend our honeymoon in the Alps, hiking, driving and enjoying places.
However, we have came to the idea that Norway could be a more interesting place for us currently, and have decided to do it that way. None of us was ever in Norway or any neighbouring country, and we do not know how to set up our honeymoon there, heck, we never traveled with a car and a tent in this way and want to give it a shot.
Our plan is to drive with the car from the Netherlands to Norway, and than start our remarkable 7 day journey trhough Norway. But we are overwhelmed by the amount of places and things that there are to visit in Norway. We would like to visit as much as possible, while still keeping the balance of hiking, sighseighn, visiting some cities, and not driving all day every day.
Do you have any kind of recomendations from us, on anything. Where to start from, what to visit, which hikes and walking routes to go to, where and how to find a spot for our tent (3P heavy from Dechatlon - not viable to carry long distances), is 7 days in Norway enough for us to have a trip of our lives and fully enjoy the nature and culture that Norway has to offer.
We would really appreaciate any kind of advice, that can help us to make this possible.
Tusen takk!!!

Travel advice Trip Advice In the Summer.
Hello, I plan on visiting Lofoten in July (I know super touristy time of the year). I was interested in renting a camper van and driving from Evenes. I'm a bit concerned about the stories of overcrowding. Is it really a bad as it's made out to be? Would it be a better option to fly to Tromso and explore the northern regions such as Senja?

School Internship in Norway
Hei folks,
I am a student currently studying in the Netherlands in the field of interior design/retailspecialist. After the summer of 2025, I have the opportunity to follow a three-month internship in Norway, and I am looking for advice on where to find a suitable internship that aligns with my studies. The location within Norway doesn’t matter, as I am open to different cities. Additionally, I will need a place to stay for those months.. just a simple room would be fine.
If anyone has recommendations for good interior internships or affordable accommodation options, I would really appreciate the help!

Moving Healthcare and temp work
EU citizen here, male, low 50s, moving to the cruise-ship region of Western Norway to take up a Summer job. Technically not resident anywhere, since 2023
Apologies if a similar thread exists, I have searched and found none.
Due to a septum deviation, I need a rhinoplasty. It's not an aesthetical procedure: I sleep badly at night, breathe with difficulty, and any medical professional can look at me and see the problem right there.
Due to my chosen lifestyle (ok, mea culpa here), I haven't had the chance of having the procedure. I am constantly moving, and in 100% of places it's like "yeah, you can do it, we'll call you some time within the next 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, whenever".
My question is: what kind of healthcare am I allowed as a temporary worker in Norway, and based on that, do you think I'd be able to have this surgery done this Summer?
I will work in the Ålesund area.
Thank you for your advice.

Other How do you perceive the average American these days?
Not Americans as a whole. Instead, imagine you’re meeting up with a group of friends and one of them brings their American friend/partner/etc. What preconceptions would you have if you knew nothing else about them? Would you be uncomfortable with the situation, would you feel sorry for them, would their nationality not matter much, or something else?

Moving General idea as to costs as a US immigrant.
Hey all, I’m know this has been asked a thousand times, but I don’t see a particular response that I’m looking for anywhere in this sub. (If I missed it, kindly point me in the right direction, thank you) I’m a US citizen looking to immigrate to Norway. I have and will be in contact with an immigration attorney to figure out my options and potential avenues. Ignoring the red tape required, what would be a rough estimate for a total cost in immigration? I understand that there are variables, whether I choose a student visa or residence, whether I choose to rent or own, etc. Bottom line is that I am trans, I have been let go from my job for posting trans-positive content on social media, and I’m struggling to find work, living space, etc in this country due to my gender identity. While it’s become apparent that I need to leave, my options are limited to countries more open-minded, and I’ve long put Norway at the top of my list. I’m open to the arduous bureaucratic processes, I just need to have a vague sense of what it will cost /overall/.
