Nice little blade there - congrats.
 Yep - Indonesian, it's a siraui. Looks a little more modern to my eye, but others may have a more educated opinion. |

I am quite sure that the origin must be indonesian.
I see them on regular basis on market and fairs. And occasionally I bought the too I am not usre if Siraui would be the correct name. Siraui as described in van Zonneveld's TWOIA looks more like a weapon than these little knives. |
