I'm still thinking southern European, Spanish, possibly Italian... colonial?
Looks as though it would have had wire bindings on the grip of some sort, I can see the little pin holes for the ends of the strands.
Trying to imagine it with the grip bindings in place and it has an almost 'dirk' look to it.... But the scabbard and overal look still say Spanish to me first.
Hmmm, a little mystery! Lovely knife though.
