knife for comment

Here a small knife.
It measures 25,5 cm.
The blade measures 16 cm.
The handle is in horn.
The scabbard is out of leather.
I think that it is Spanish.
But I would like your opinion.
Thank you

I'm getting a kind of Chinese feel from this one; the reeding on the handle, something about the pommel and decoration suggests Chinese to me.

Just impressions though; most of the time I'm wrong. :o

Hi

My guess is Southern Chinese, Philip can you please chime in.

Look at the cut out design on the scabbard, there and here or here and there.

Yep, Chinese fighting knife or Chinese "bowie". Could be made in China
or west coast US, probably late 19th, early 20th C.
