ID Help - First Post

Hi All, I was hoping for help in identifying this dagger. Thank you.

 

No marks at all? In what part of the world did you find it and what were you told about it?

No marks. Asian?

 

It's really hard to see your item. Is that the best photograph you have?

From the Philippines?

 

Spanish, called by collectors an Abacete dagger. generally, these tend to be quite old, probably early to mid 1800's.
I have I must admit, never seen one with a handle like this, they are usually brass and ivory or bone in the centre, like the attached image.




And welcome to the forum by the way!
