I think this is a late 19th or early 20th century piece. They were very high quality knives sold to British soldiers so they had somrthing to take back home with them. Some of these actually did see some combat in WWI. Yours seems to be quite stout and since it is mostly brass and not the typical inlay I would think it a Military grade piece. Very nice indeed.
