Hello Ericlaude
 I am speaking from ignorance. To me the blade shape somewhat resembles the Parang Ginah/sickle knife from Malaya crossbred with a kerambit? I have included a picture of sickle from Mr Yaroms site. I look forward to comments from experts. Sorry I cant offer facts. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, Dan |

I have seen a few in the past in slightly different style and these where offered as javanese rice cutting tools. This one has a hilt that makes me think of Sumatra too. But otherwise, not a weapon, but a rice cutting knife. |

Hello Ericlaude,
it's look like a sickle so it is probably a rice cutting tool. But the rice knifes from Java, Madura and also from Dayak look different. I have rice knifes from Madura and from Dayak and know the knives from Java. Tomorrow I will take some pics. sajen |
