Mysterious Puukko Knife

[op4medic]

I have a knife in my possession that I know very little about. In fact, I'm not even sure where or when I acquired it. It's a Puukko style knife with the only markings being some faint etching on the blade itself and in the blood groove. I've made out "Made in Finland" on the one side etched upside down (blade edge above text) and these words on the reverse side "T?????e Jarvenpaa" in the blood groove and "erikoisvuolu" underlined on the blade. I'll attach pics when I can. But can anyone tell me anything about this neat little knife? The sheath is leather with a curved end (like most Puukko) a stamped design in the leather and two short tassels.

I think Ruusunvuori's "Puukon historia" has detailed information of every Järvenpää's puukko ever manufactured. However I would need a photograph first from the puukko.
