Gladius machete! $16 at coldsteel's booth haha
well if you want to have that hilt, you have to go for a custom IMO...
It adds like a ton of weight to the blade

You could probably do the hilt in wood, it would help reduce the weight.
Maybe the entire handle even.

An anime called Kara no Kyoukai

The blade, butt, and handle are basic shapes and you should have no trouble finding a knife with similar characteristics.

But that front guard / hilt... it looks more like a brass plumbing fitting.

I can't imagine any knives in production with a similar feature.

The problem with finding an anime knife/sword is that the geometries are usually greatly exagerated. To me it kind of resembles a Seax but you're not going to find a Seax with a guard. You're definitely gonna have to go custom IMO.

I was reading many sections of this forum, when I notice this and had just read your post. 6th picture down, I saw similarities.

I can't find a picture of one anywhere right now, but the guard on that knife reminds me of an old hard hat diver's utility knife that I saw in a museum once. The guard was actually threaded and screwed into the top of the tubular sheath. The blade on the one that I saw was about 5 or 6 inches long, and the handle and guard were very similar to what you have here.

I think looking for a cartoon knife in the real world may be difficult. Not everything in cartoons has a real world connection.

It does actually have a somewhat similiar look to some of the old Russian dive knives like this:
