When I am not wrong is it the inscription on the second blade.

Yes, it is the inscription on Jens blade. I should have recognized it myself. Have a half dozen or so knives by them.

It is almost exactly identical to my first knife that a family member gave to me when I was a child, c. 1959/1960. I don't recall whether mine was etched.

I wish I still had it!

For those interested in Puukko, here's a great link (via Google translation) on the history, types, etc. of Finnish puukko by the grand master of Finnish knives.

Sorry for the long URL, but TinyUrl wouldn't take it :-( Go to "article on knives"
