I'd say you've got it in the right place buddy!
Southern European, Late 18thC 'peasant' knife.
I particularly like the 'ring' can you get a fingertip into it?
Very nice! Whittle a litle bit of bone to repair the chip ;-)

Regards
Gene

P.S. After my recent research onlin for my own knife, if I had to guess, the single edge and brass inserts would make me plump for it being Spanish.
Although its not the standard 'punal B' I think its a variation possibly with a more Italian influence?
As I say, thats a Guess.
