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.

Something related to "vuolla" (to carve or whittle).
Also, don't rule out that it could be (partly) Estonian ("similar but different" to Finnish)
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

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

Every case is unique. You can't measure the result of your application based on arbitrary anecdotes online.
