Battara,
It would appear that Jeff S agrees that it is Chinese and has provided a translation.

Jeff S,
Any idea why someone would stamp “special” on such a plain Jane dagger? Granted, it looks serviceable enough but it doesn’t seem to me to have features that would make it special.

Sincerely,
RobT
I would take the translation with a grain of salt! It does confirm that it is Chinese though. Edited to add: Actually just looked up with AI assistance which suggests Japanese.
