Nice knife. I have one like it. "J" is for Janne. I believe it is the Pornestrari model or maybe the Border Patrol (Rajapuukko) model. Older style sheath. Has not been in their catalog for a long time. Possible early to mid 20th C. (1928-1950s ?) I would think more 1950-ish.

Edit: Did a bit more reading last night. You puukko model is the
Pornestrari. It has the nickel silver ferrule; the Rajapuukko does not.
