Knife for comment

[imas560]

Hello all,
At a friend's house and he showed me a knife that he had picked up in a batch of items from an old soldier who I believe had passed away.
The old soldier had served in Malaysia during the Malayan Emergency. He didn't like the standard issued golok so he bought a knife locally that he carried with him in the bush.
I only managed to take some quick camera shots so apologies for quality.
The knife is 2 feet / 61 cm.
The knife and leather scabbard with carry strap are in very nice nick for the age and for being carried in the tropics.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks
