Ariel, it could be but I think that is hard to tell from these pics. Would it be possible to get better shots of the handle, fittings and markings on the blade? Also, what is it's length? I have some thoughts but need better pics to form an opinion.

I'm very sorry for you but it is a brandnew imitation of a tanto, the japanese dagger. As far as I can judge it, the fittings are moulded and it is indeed probably made in China.
