This one looks to have been altered a bit by its final owner. The hilt has been decorated with incised "V"s and the scabbard has some recent, heavier rattan work added to provided a belt loop or similar suspension device. If we take away these "alien" features, then we have a fairly ordinary work knife that most resembles those from Northern Thailand/Laos/Southern Yunnan--the Golden Triangle area... Just what Mark said. (Hi Mark--long time since we last spoke)
