The hilt looks like those found on the Chinese hudiedao or "butterfly swords".

Not sure about the blade; the profile of it reminds me somewhat of the profile of Vietnamese guom swords but just from eyeballing the depth of the fuller it looks more substantial than the guom I have here (not the one shown here, I just picked that off of google).
