How old is this kind of design? i have found originals dating back to the Boer war but i think that the pattern could be older
it is the most common design found in the military navy context? i believe that the example postet belong to a royal navy sailor but i'm not sure

That spike doesn't mean its a sailors knife. they turn up in all contexts. Most usual over here is that they are on the British Army knife. They appear at the start of the 20th cent and go on in pretty mjuch the same way until the 1950's.
I'd say yours looks older but that's just a hunch.
