Thanks both
I am grateful.
Yes the Sumatran rawit knives have this step between bolster and hilt and a somewhat similar shape. See pics in Zonneveld. The greneng reminds me of Rencong from Aceh. Micheal suggested Minang possibly. If Sumatra is this a fighting or utility blade or both? It bears signs of use and the brass inlays and details in construction are interesting suggesting perhaps a step up from a pure agrarian tool?
