Forgive the way I'm writing this.. I'm researching it as I'm writing, so it's sort of a diary of my hunt.
From looking at the pictures on the Lost wiki, this appears to be a found item. The detail is quite high for such a simple prop on a TV budget, and the finish appears to be that faux-weathering lacquer that some cheap knives have.
You can see a big picture here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:606-18.jpg
The site mentions it's a pugio, a Roman sidearm. I did find a site that makes a cheap replica based on the show, but it seems that the show itself is using a cheap replica, so why go second-gen?
*digs more*
Ah-HA!! Found an exact copy of it on an Italian legionnaire websites, but no link: http://www.xii-fulminata.it/equipment.htm (the knife is at the bottom, right-click "View Image" to see it full-sized, this is definitely the one!
Found THIS!! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009U5BE6/thecostumersmani
The color's slightly different, but the design is clearly the same.
Aaaannd.. SKADOOSH:

Is that it?!?? I can't tell if the hilt is the same, but the scabbard looks about right.

By jove, I think we've got it!!! It's a Denix. Found another version with brass highlights:

Sooooo close. The rings are a little different, and the coloring's off.
This one refers only to a nickel finish, no mention of brass:

Although it should be noted that the real one on the show has a brass tip on the scabbard, but no brass on the rest of the scabbard.
None on Ebay that I could see with a quick search, but these things are all over the 'net.
Happy hunting!
