Can anyone ID this knife/dagger?

The woman said it belonged to her father and that he had it for as long as she can remember. It was with a bunch of his Military related items from an estate sale. He was a WW2 Vet. It is about 11 1/4 in. long total and the blade is 6 1/2 in. long. No marks of any kind on it. Anything of quality would be marked, right? what do you think, cheap imitation?

Man, that was quick. Nice ID

A few on here, but with the scabbard, going for decent amounts :

Any idea how to clean up the rust on the blade of this knife?
