I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet :shrug:

It looks to me like a dagger from Pangasinan known as a treskantos
Early to mid 20th C.

Bangkaya is this type of blade typical of Pangasinan blades?

No, not necessarily. Treskantos is the term used for a 3-sided dagger, but not limited to Pangasinan. Treskantos blade profiles can be found throughout Luzon and the Visayas. The popularity of the treskantos is due to the fact that the flat side offers more surface area for blade contact to use in blocking and parrying in certain espada y daga techniques.

The rest of this particular dagger (scabbard, hilt, crossguard, etc.) exhibit Pangasinan characteristics.
