Dagger for ID ... and comments

I always have to toss in the possibility of Spanish colonial. The 'swollen' grips and ball quillon points like yours often seen on colonial Southwestern items ranging down into central Mexico (New Spain).
The grip also reminds me of those Canary Island dirks as well...

Thank you Mark. I wouldn't toss it towards the same direction, though. The grip work seems to be one of European Continental fashion, like in a knife of mine; and certainly not one like those Canary cuchillos.
