PS... I realize it is more of a souvinier type knife probably a bring back from WW2 or even post WW2

Hi Alan62:

Northern Philippines in style with full length tang peened over the end of a horn handle, a brass ferrule and small guard. My best estimate would be from central or northern Luzon. The hilt strikes me as possibly Ilocano or from nearby, such as Pampanga (north of Manila).
