Dagger, Short Sword

Vandoo and Kronckew,
Thank you both for your replies. The blade on this knife is beveled on both sides. When I first posted this I just guessed at the thickness of the blade. I was close but it is actually 9/32 inch thick at the grip. Not that this is a great difference I just thought I would mention it. Below is the only other knife with the same blade style as this that I have. The blade on it is just shy of a 1/4 inch at the grip. It is nowhere the quality of the first one. Am I wrong or is one of these left handed? These were both supposedly brought back after WWII. I'm just trying to find out if there is an actual name for this style. Thank you both again.

Robert
