What I think is unusual for me is the way the blade comes out below the hilt.

Hullo everybody,

I was asked what the above item was, so I thought it most appropriate to post my answer here.
To me, it's a Tangkitn Laki from western Kalamantan(Borneo). I've attached an image of a similar item.
The following ref. may help:
