Identifying Tortoise Shell Knife

Hi guys, I think its Philippine too (and horn) and specificly from South Luzon, as I recognize the metal studding in X , and the shape handle; the swords like these with metal blade ("the real stuff") are actually very rare, large and belly-shaped blade with no deco on the bluntside (for the 2 examples I know/have seen).
This would be a stil quite old (1915's?) souvenir; nice n rare.
<have looked for the museumcollection sword I remember, but cant find it >
