Not too sure about this knife here. Tried to find one like it. But, have failed. Anyone seen one like this or know more about these? Thank you!

Looks to me to be a boning or fillet knife.

The knife pattern is a "Tanto", styled after a short sword. Seki is the city where it was manufactured.

Like Cogar said it looks to be utilitarian type rather than something used in battle ect !!  Not much wear on it !!

https://www.ebay.com/b/Tanto-Collectible-Vintage-Fixed-Blade-Knives/43320/bn_71732434?rt=nc&LH_Sold=1

Here are the ones recently sold on Ebay !!  Saw your listing,, work on your presentation !!  Do a little research and give some history on this type knife !!  If its a vintage knife,, say so !!  If you have it on  auction,, may be OK at this price to start !!  If you are selling at "buy it now"  I would price it at $99.95 !!  You can always reduce the price if it doesn`t sell  but you can`t raise the price if someone bids at $49.95,, you have to sell it !!
