Yours looks bit older version but leather holder is exactly the same.
Edit.
There is also English site there and it says following about the knife “Poromiehen Leuku Knife
This robust leuku is the largest knife in our Lapland collection
The Poromiehen Leuku (“reindeer herder’s knife”) is a tool for hard work. It’s big and heavy, therefore more suitable for clearing brush and splitting firewood rather than for whittling.”
Its a puukko knife. You can recognise it from the scandi bevel grind.
Those are usually worh like 30-90€ in finland. I really depends

It looks a lot like Iisakki Järvenpää knife factory [poromiehen leuku](https://www.iisakkijarvenpaa.fi/puukot/retkeilypuukot/poromiehen-leuku/1431/)

The middle one says it is made by Iisakki Järvenpää Oy. No idea about model or year, but you can check https://www.iisakkijarvenpaa.fi/en/
The ”Rover” on the sheath might refer to Danish Vangedal Knivfabrik, founded in 1984. The model doesn’t look like their recent Rover knives, though
People used to carry these on their belt all the time. Some still do. Most will when they go hiking etc.
It is used for everything. Common use cases include making kindling for the camp fire or sauna.
You found yourself a trusty pair of knives. Resale value isn’t probably much but they’re good to have.
The second one seems to be norwegian Rover Geilo Knivfabrikk knife
