Is there any indication that the string isn't a late addition? It might be informative to unwrap it and see if there are bolt holes or something in those parallel prongs to hold it to a shaft. Otherwise, I keep thinking it's what happens when someone has an unnatural love for katars and sickles, and wanted something small....
 Best, F |

I think it's a cock-fighting blade. The string is for strapping the blade to the cocks leg.

There is still the question from where this cock fighting knife. It isn't from Bali, the knifes from there look different. Have someone a clue?

It's from the Philippines. Bali cock fighting knives are quite different looking.
