SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT IS IT?

Hi Carlos,
Could you post some close-ups of the blade? Since it's a keris-like blade, maybe we can start with the assumption that it's SE-Asian. Of course it could be a lot of other things, including western if made recently. Is the blade stainless or regular steel? The stag could give some clues perhaps, even though it's probably a later handle. The luks seem well forged, following the central ridge quite well...maybe a Filipino piece?
Regards,
Emanuel
