The knife appears to be from the type referred to as Trabzon dagger/knife when looking at the grip slab shapes. The unusual bolster found on these piece appear to be missing... a few word searches will show more.

I'm with Theodor on this one. Balkans or Greece would be my guess as well. Does the last photo show a date in the rectangular cartouche? The dragon engraving would signify an Orthodox christian symbolism, one would think St.George vs. the Dragon...
