Rich,
Actually I think your blade is called a Saami. The Puukko is Finnish while the Saami is from Lapland. (I think that Saami means Lap.) Your hilt and sheath are probably reindeer antler. I believe Radu had started a thread on these blades a while back so he can probably answer all your questions.
Sincerely,
RobT
