I agree with Lew and do not think this is a panabas, but perhaps Burmese(my guess) or Thai.

The metal work is not Moro nor Filipino.

Not a regular Thai style. The cut-off blade style is mostly used in Thailand as an Agri tool, rarely decorated.

Here 's a "catalog" in one of folk shop.

The long version of ferrule is the fitting used in lower northern Thailand (SuKhoThai province).

I am not sure if the knife is Thai but it 's possible to be Thai.

Don’t know about the hilt but the blade reminds me of a south Sumatran klewang.
If you have the van Zonneveld check page 70, ill. 265 and 267 for an example.

Regards
