I wonder if it is "K" for katipunan, a Filipino secret movement and society that formed to free the Philippines from Spanish around the late 19c. What also leads me to this supposition is that the "K" is inside a triangle, another symbol of the society. This might be early. It would have a Spanish influenced style in form. Shame the handle material is missing, probably made of horn.

Nice early piece. Thank you for sharing and welcome to our little forum!
