Old North Europenean Knife

This is another fetch from the local flea market

Looks to be a quite old North Europenean knife. The hilt is made from the very hard root wood, it has some varnish traces and steel collar. The blade is handforged, it has a tanto like tip and one shallow fuller. The scabbard is tooled leather.
The knife in scabbard lookes like a fish - I really like its shape! It also was used many times in its life - the blade is worn a bit. Can somebody tell me more about it: the name (puuko???), country, age?
