WELCOME TO THE FORUM.
I WOULD AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESMENT OF THIS ITEM. IT WAS MORE LIKELY MADE ON LUZON AND SOLD AROUND SUBIC BAY SHOPS. THESE MAKE A DECENT FIGHTING KNIFE AND ARE COMMON IN MANY FORMS. THEY WERE MASS PRODUCED IN SMALL SHOPS AND THE WAVY BLADE ON YOURS WAS LIKELY FORMED BY STOCK REMOVAL NOT FORGEING. SOME HAVE DARK WOOD HANDLES AND SOME HAVE BLACK HORN HANDLES WITH BRASS FITTINGS. A NICE EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE.
