Well I am leaning toward Southeast Asian peninsula. I have seen scabbard work like this from Cambodia, etc. (as well as the Philippines).

Hello Dom and thank you for your help. Sorry it has taken so long to reply to your post but with the holiday and all the family visiting it was hard to find any time to respond. I have spent the last day looking up information on the type of dagger you have shown in your reply only to find that the blade shape on all that I could locate are of a cleaver style and shape. Hopefully someone will recognize this strange dagger and can identify where it originates from. Again, thank you again for your help.
Regards, Robert |
