I like the Bicol suggestion, Jose, especially the scabbard with its wooden hanger to hold the knife in place when suspended from a belt or stuck through a waist band.

Hello Leif,

agree with Jose and Ian that this could be a Bicol knife, see the picture of a minasbad scabbard, very similar rattan binding in the back.
And here a link to a Philippine knife from my collection with a similar handle style. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18326
