Does this knife have a particular name?

Another new purchase, I beleive this piece to be Chinese in origin but do wonder if it goes by a particlar name and or comes from a particular region? I have see one before with a fluted rosewood handle typical of Chinese weapons but it lacked the brass fitting at the base of the blade, at the time I thought it was a sort of a hybrid that had been made from another blade and a guard typical of some dao seen, now upon seeing this version with a horn handle I understand it more as a true weapon, not a put together.

Any direction would be appreciated.
