I'm thinking Europe or Eurocolonial. Australia or maritime (ship board production) have my current vote. Is the tang abrubtly thinner than the blade, or is it tapered? This may be an old pig sticker someone replaced the scales on and made a fanced up sheath for. A pig sticker is a 2-edged dagger used to slaughter pigs (What, you thought it was always done by the "Carrie" method?). It looks like a wwII era carry piece.
