The only marking on the blade is 1937 and a small floral scroll on either end of the year. It does resemble a fillet knife now that you mention it but the blade is sort of think to be kitchen implement even though it might have started out as one. The tassals do look North Africa but the two longest tassals are actually belt loops. I did not think belts were in widespread use in North Africa until recently. could it be Maltese or Sicilian?

Mark...
