Richard,
That seems like you're on to something! Might be time to narrow my search to Thailand. The spear guards seem to be in the same family, and the dagger shape, although contemporary, is at least close in some of its features.
Thanks for posting these pics!

Hi Shayde78,

I don't think that it is a remounted spear blade, I think that it is desinged as dagger originally and possible of Philippine origin.

Regards,
Detlef

It's too narrow to be a remounted N.Philippine spear blade.

Here’s a dagger from the Philippines that has a similar blade profile. Like Shayde78’s dagger, the scalloped edges are unsharpened.
