Korean War Sword?

Someone else suggested to me the cambodian possibility, since they are neighbours and have interacted and overlapped militarily in the past. I threw it in justincase. It had not entered my mind before tho. I have heard there is not a lot of info on cambodian sharp things.

Not much to go on when it comes to Cambodian swords that i know of, but the upswept, pointed scabbard has been noted as a trait in the past.

What is the handle material?

Appears to be wood, painted red.
