This certainly could be Terengganu but I'm more inclined to say Kelantan. Kelantan is a bit tricky as its in between and they also lack the stronger distinctive characteristics of Pattani or Terengganu (except the very obvious ones like Ku Sriwa sheaths and Tok Chu style blades). The blade of this one is so generic (not to say bad, just that the distinctive features are very sort of in-between) it could be from any of the three (or many other places besides). The sheath and hilt are definitely not Pattani though which militates against that origin. True, the tebeng style sheaths of Terengganu and Kelantan are indistinguishable but it still feels more Kelantan to me.
