It's fairly recent BTW. Hard to pinpoint, but latter part of the 20thC most likely.

David, thanks for the comment
 Indeed on the one hand, it strikes me as Luzon, too. On the other hand, the hilt shape (i.e., cylindrical) and ornamentation (the 'dots') are not typically Filipino. That's why I had some doubts. But now that you mentioned it, perhaps it really is a Luzon dagger. Thanks.

Shape of the handle throws off... but yeah, most likely filipino. Is it carabao horn.

I agree Luzon, perhaps even Ilokano, but very recent, certainly post WWII (note the thin aluminum spacers).
