Rob, this one may be more convincing. It is a Spanish-Filipino knife with a blade of triangular cross-section. There is a small bone guard tipped with brass. The tang does not extend to the end of the hilt. It may have been made in the Visayas. Being from the Spanish Colonial period in the Philippines, it would pre-date 1900.
Blade length = 8.5 in.
OAL = 12.5 in.
I'm still looking through my collection.
Ian.
