I thought it might be a snapped off tip of a keris but that wouldn't explain the tang. The seller said he bought it from a keris dealer.

Hello Blue,
not a tombak, agree with David. Maybe just a knife without special name. Call it pisou (knife)!

'tombak lada' means pepper crusher which is the hilt style rather than the more generic scabbard.. the hilt is quite like that. the blade is not typical, being double edged & looks like it was cut from some other blade, maybe a keris.
i'd compared it to another online example:

what you show seems to my eyes a cheaply made tourist knife. Here some examples of real/antique tumbok ladas. Pepper crusher is correct. |
