A small rattan knife, or what else?

1 Attachment(s)

I bought this knife a few days ago. It looks like a rattan knife, but it’s only 24 cm long.
Any idea what it is and where it comes from?
The blade is 2 mm thick, and the cutting edge is on the convex side of the handle.

I have seen little ones line that used for basket weaving in Ratanakiri Cambodia.

Jeff is on the money I think. Mainland SE Asian. A small version of a work knife used in parts of Thailand and former French Indochina.
