I do not know exactly how to classify you knife or mine but I suspect at face value, yours is a more modern version of mine seen below.
Perhaps some of our Dutch and German friends can comment?

nice knife, semar.

looks like a westernised version of a sewah/kuku macan

'modern' in the sense it's not an ancient design. looks like it could be vintage or even an 19c antique.

blade looks also a bit like an 'officers' model fairbairn 'cobra'
