The piece looks like a post war maybe 1940s Army bring Garab knife. It is missing the unit crest for the WW-2 souvenir types and cord belt.There are slight differences seen between the Talibon and Garab knives. The big blades it it easier to tell. One of the great challenges is that some local maker makes the blade to what they think it should look like. Many blades were made on Luzon to represent those from other regions. Batangas does the same thing today.
