Kann mir jemand beraten, was das bitte sagt? Es war ein Geschenk an meinen Vater (Offizier der irischen Armee) von einem finnischen Armeeoffizier im Jahr 1966.
The top one looks like a name
Maybe Marttiini?
2nd is Rovaniemi, the city
3rd is Lapinleuku which is a Lapland Knife, the model
I’m not Finnish but thats what I can decipher with my basic knowledge of the language and just general knowledge of Finland 🤣

It says ”J Marttiini” (the manufacturer) Rovaniemi Lapinleuku. [Lapinleuku](https://fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapinleuku) is a large knife typical to Lapland, mainly used for chopping small firewood or cutting meat.
