help with a knife

Solingen. Likely no earlier than the 1950s. Not a U.S. Marbles clone but the pattern seems to draw from some of their knives. It is similar to the 'shark' knives (mk 1 and similar) and the 225Q knives of WWII, both of which had leather washer grips.

The blade may have been re-profiled with a point break and that would attest to it seeming extra sturdy in the point.
