...or just an old knife

Seeking some insight on the attached photos. I'm not a blade guy so figured this group is where the expertise lies.

There is little background on this from the owner other than "It was my grandfathers" and "he was in the war" (WW-II) .

It has seen better days.

Before telling him to just oil up the blade and treat the handle I figured I'd see if there was any insight on whether this is a specific type or "just an old knife" and a keepsake memory of his granddad.

Thanks ahead of time for any feedback.
