Opinion about dagger

This dagger belongs to a friend. He ask me about origin of the dagger. The dagger was in a wall plaque with some cuban machetes and spanish machetes from 1898 more or less.
Any opinions? Maybe filipino?
Thanks in advance

Looks like a modern semi-fantasy knife with Filipino influenced blade and European stag horn hilt.

Hi carlos,

I think Jose nailed it. Maybe some Filipino influence, but certainly nothing "traditional"about this one. Looks like somebody was practicing their file work. Do you have a picture of the wall plaque with the machetes?

Regards,

Ian
