Greek knife?

Hello all,
I am sure you all know this is not my normal sort of thing but it was on offer today at such a silly price I thought I would add it to my collection. The blade is quite a fine piece of hollow ground {concave either side of the blade} steel with a bone handle. It looks like the white metal on the scabbard and handle is pewter or zinc. The scabbard is wood and leather with brass stitching. It does not strike me as a fighting knife. Is it a tourist piece? or just a personnel knife for a country dweller. Can anyone fill in the gaps. Tim
