i would call this binangon, just to be on the safe side, although as far the the blade is concern, it could be classified as tinegre, from the root word tigre, meaning tiger. that's because it's shape like a tiger's tooth...

Thank you Ron! Special for confirming my age guess. It was based on the way how the leather is attached in the back, I think that this is the older way while by more later examples the leather is sewn.
