Not one I've ever seen...not that means much...but it almost looks like a theatre made knife. The Fuller goes all the way to the guard. Almost like a modified bayonet.
Just a guess. Probably wrong

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Wanted to add. What makes you think it is of Italian origin? The scabbard has an Oak Leaf motif which to me looks more Germanic. Just a thought.
Hopefully others will see this.

MAP, only thing it makes me think of it as Italian origin, is that my friend from whom I got it is of Italian origin and he inherited it from family..

As MAP stated, this is not an official issue item. The blade seems to me a shortened Vetterli 1870 bayonet, so that could be Italian. The others components are custom made.

Italian as shepherd pie!
I might immagine that could be a shortened Vetterly bayo for a sort of hunting/trench knife, but that scabbard looks too weird for something italian made, maybe it was added later recovered who knows where!
