Strange KLO (Keris Like Object)

This belongs to an overseas friend. Vaguely resembles a keris. Any ideas?

Well Bill it is cool looking and i would say that it more than vaguely resembles a keris. The question in my mind is whether this is actually an old authentic object or a recent invention made to look old and unique. I see a lot of those on ePray. Never seen one quite like this one though.

David, I feel the same way, so does the owner. Somehow remember seeing something that resembles this on a temple wall in India . . . . . .

Reminds me of a phurba, triple sided Tibetan ritual dagger.. or is it an ancient-looking fantasy dagger? ..does it exist in ancient time? (very unlikely, though)..
