Piso Haiasan maybe blade shape and hilt fit that to my eye Sheath could also fit that. Blade might also resemble a kalasan but the sheath does not look like any I have seen from a kalasan ad the blade did not seem quite right, so that is why I went with the former. I may be wrong and someone more versed will answer soon. Either way pretty safe bet its from that region. A nice piece thanks for posting

Michael is correct, it's a Piso Halasan, Batak, Sumatra.
