I rather doubt that this is a Balinese knife, the reason being that I have never seen any Balinese knife with a blade shape like this, or a scabbard shape like this,

Is the hilt figure wearing trousers, or at least leg coverings under his sarung?

What does that tell us, if he is?

Another indicator of origin might be in the internal ornamentation of the tumpal motif.
