A very interesting and unique sikin - congratulations Charles!
I am amazed of all multicultural blades you always find.
To me it has several features of an Aceh variation of the Tumbok Lada (enclosed a reference picture).
Aceh did have a lot of contact with Turkey but I don't know anything about yataghans myself to comment the resemblence.
On the hilt it looks like the regular hulu tumpang beunteung to me?
I haven't seen an ivory hilt on a sikin before.
