I don't know where it's from or something like that.. just that the design is simular to one I use to remove isolation on electrical cables at work.

It appears to be a british sailors knife.

I think that this is a Sailor's knife. The awl is called a Marlin Spike, I think, and is designed to make holes in heavy sailcloth so it can be sewn up.

It's called a Yachtman's knife or Rope knife. The Marlin spike is actually used for weaving line ( mariners term for rope) strands and splicing. The straight edged blade is the best design for cutting line .

The gunman nailed it. British naval knife used by sailors.
