Sabinerat,
I can't tell a lot from the picture so I'll give you my best guess. The brand looks like maybe a Kutmaster or Utica and I'd say you are probably close on the age, 1930's to 1940's. It looks like it has iron bolsters and the scales are celluloid. Like I said, just guessing and someone will probably come along with better information. I hope this will help.

Not sure about the manufacturer but I think Bamarick is on the right track. Your knife has what looks to be a staple type shield. The pointed ends of the shield are bent and then pressed into the celluloid handle material. I've seen this type of shield on Utica brand knives among others. I remember having a Utica brand knife with the exact same type of celluloid handles.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
