Seems colonial to me, maybe Cuba? Thanks

Jim, Rich,

This picture of the blade marking is the best I can do at the moment, I'm afraid. The marking is a bit worn out. Maybe because of the patina.
Honestly I doubt the marking is a clear mark of the maker.

A dog?
I must be seeing things

.
To me, it looks like some person ( a lady ? ) mounting on the so said whale

.
That button on the handle ... is it fix or unscrewable ?
Are you sure is Asian, Jim ?
Not colonial, like Carlos sugests ?
Or even an African hunting knife, with a trade blade ?
