Hello Athanase,

First, allow me apologise for the tardy response.
Should your item indeed be Javanese ( in the most generic sense of the word ), then I would call it : Bedog/Golok Turun-gunung/Lubuk/Candung.
Hope it helps.
BTW, then the handle I would also call a Makara/Shrimp/Prawn. (Note: the term Makara has different meanings to different ethnic groups in the region).

Best,
