Default Repurposed Something or Another Knife?

I recently acquired this knife that is a composite. The blade looks like it could have been a Kris at one time or another and it has traces of silver inlay.
It is attached to a basic wooden handle.
The blade measures 14" long.

Oh WW!

Must to have been heavily damaged from a wavy kris to be modified like this and originally silver inlaid.

That it could have been a kris at one time is just a guess;I'm open to other/all suggestions.

Default Missing Ganja?

Hi All,

On pg 127 of Ensiklopedi Keris, Harsrinuksmo shows a drawing of a very similar looking blade and lists it as "KERIS dapur Cengkrong. The illustration appears to show a ganja.

Sincerely,
RobT
