Take my guess as it being Spanish; above all, because of that motif on the sail guard that seems to be intended to depict the famous shell (scallop) symbol of Santiago (Saint James).
I am only surprised that such unique quality dagger has no maker's mark (symbol) on the ricasso.

Thank Fernando,
Indeed it has no stamps on the ricasso, but it has a stamp of a sea horse about 15mm bellow the fuller.
