      I have that same puukko. It says Iisakki Järvenpää. He’s the maker. The model of the knife is Ilves which means a lynx.

    2. (R)akki (J)arrenha [unreadable] auh(o)

      The ( ) are letters I’m undure about but put down my first guess with the way it’s written and what fits.

      The first „R“ looks more like a „D“, but could also be bad handwriting since „Dakki“ doesn’t mean anything, while „Rakki“ means „dog [deragotary]“. Other words it could be „Pakki“ = „(tool)box“, „Jakki“ = hooved animal to pull weights like horse, donkey or most commonly cow/nickname.

      The „J“ i’m extremely unsure about. It looks like backwards „L“ or upside down „T“. It could also be „I“, but find that unlikely with how the word continues. I don’t know what the word could be, but likely a name of a place or a person.

      The last part „o“ could just as easily be „a“ and there are a lot of words with either combination of letters. „Jauho“, „kauha“, „lauha“, „pauha“, „kauhoa“, etc…

      My first guess for the whole text is that it was a self made inscription and someone’s nickname. Propably an inside joke of sorts.
