Anyone know what this Puukko says?

I bought it a long time ago as I'm interested in Finnish history and their knives. Looks like it says Jarvenpaa and underneath, "Erikais ----- something"

I'd LOVE to know what it says. Thank you all very much in advance.

Erikois vuolu...?

Something related to "vuolla" (to carve or whittle).

Also, don't rule out that it could be (partly) Estonian ("similar but different" to Finnish)

It's an old Finnish puukko made by the company Iisakki Järvenpää Oy. It says this:

Code: Select all

Iisakki Järvenpää
Erikoisvuolu

The first line is the name of the maker, and the second line is the name of this puukko's model which translates "Carving Special".
