Asian Kit knife. This one is a bit hard as Italy did make a few low end ones that were also kit knives, but this has an Asian look to me. Bill D ??

The solid seer hole, rear rivet, and no nail nick in blade throws me off.

After looking closer I noticed the pins aren't brass so I'm thinking it may be a Taiwan clone.

I think that could be one of those Edgeco type knives from when they were selling Italian knives. I don't think I've seen any Asian stilettos with brass liners. Also, the top bolsters have more definition and the safety slot is thinner than the Asian ones I've seen.
Find a pic of a known Italian stiletto that was sold by Edgeco and compare it to yours.

I think the ones in this thread are Italian made and I think the one in the OP is the same (other than the nail nick):
