Africa is a huge and incredibly diverse continent. What country or region is it from? I have a guess, and would like to see how close I am…

It's from East Africa, most likely from an Islamic nation, most likely inspired by the Jambiya / Khanjar style of blade. Me and the other antique dealer I purchased it from have not been able to trace it's exact country of origin as of yet.
I seemed to know more about it's rough origin and style than the dealer I got it from as they did not specialize in bladed objects but more on african antique art. It's from the 1940's - 1950's
Maybe you or some others here can shed more light onto it's exact origin, I am guessing it's possibly Somalian, or a North East African Islamic country.

I have no knowledge of it, but if you hadn’t said “African”, I would have definitely guessed Yemen - so somewhere connected to there by dhow, probably. Do you think it is originally Yemeni, and somebody in East Africa re-handled it and made the sheath? It isn’t the Afar or Isa style, so maybe somewhere further down the coast? Again, just conjecture.
 
I'm accumulating knives that represent all of our Armed Services for the up coming Veterans Day celebration in November. This Case USMC Sowbelly with the Marine Globe Shield came in Wednesday.

I've got one with the Army Shield coming soon and will then find ones that represent the Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force. I've already got one with the Navy Shield.

Kabar is all I’ve seen make anything for the space force. Best I’ve found for the coast guard is a Camillus 4 line rope knife just because it has USCG Approved on the tang.
 
With a diminutive size that disappears in pocket yet punches way above it's weight, a nice clip main with extremely useful coping secondary what's not to love about the Buck 305 lancer?
It's one of my favorites, and this old jigged bone example that arrived yesterday does not disappoint.
