I just picked this up at a yard sale and have no idea what this is. It has a leather sheath and a metal tip. The handle is also solid metal.
Thanks for any info you guys may have.

It is a Fairbairn Sykes type military assassin's dagger, originally made in England during WWII. Many clones exist. Any markings on or near the guard would help the knowledgeable people here give you more information. That does not include me. Thanks for showing!

There’s some makers marks above the guard on the end of handle . Looks like 2 crossed keys and ? If those are makers marks you could search for that and get some info . Like Cal ,don’t know if real or reproduction but would like to know what you find out. Someone here will see it and help in due time as well .

Re: ? Cool Knife
Your stamp reads, "J. Nowill & Sons/Sheffield England", Justin, and it appears to be genuine, and I own a converted J. Nowill & Sons automatic that's a high quality knife so IMHO I'd say it's a legit dagger! Congratulations on such a super score for 10 bucks! BTW,
