Local implement, it comes in various size. From to harvest pumpkin to pruning. In Sundanese it is called as gaet (with e like in "set"), surprisingly in Kanekes (or in modern day called as Baduy) it is the kujang. In some parts of Java, such is in my hometown (Yogyakarta) friends called it kudi.
It is not an old wesi aji but it has age. Handle made of albino buffalo, at the moment the handle has higher price than to the blade.

Yesterday I was able to buy my second "Hippe", the seller stated 17th until 18th century what I don't think will be true but it seems very old to my eyes.
Here are a few seller pics. 24,5 cm long, blade is 14 cm.
