Hi Celtan,
it's not an island but a ethnic group from the Philippines/Mindanao, look here:

I have bought recently a similar knife. This knifes are called Sangi. They coming with wooden sheat, metal sheath or braided sheath as well. I am not 100% certain if it is a Sangi from the Bagobo ethnic group since this knifes are common by some other ethnics also but all Lumad tribes.
Here is mine:

Search by keyword " Sangi " and you will find some more. BTW, nice example you have there.
