Another straight machete of uncertain origin

Hi Ian,

I am pretty sure that it isn't from Indonesia, I guess a mainland South-East-Asian origin.

Something from Assam/Burma Hills?

Tim, that was the initial thought about the Tengger knife also. Until we got a definitive ID.

Sajen, I hope the open weave of the scabbard may jog the memory of someone here. Philippines might be a possibility too, but I don't recognize it.
