If someone can help me for identificating this little knife.
total length 19 cm ovl
Blade 9,5 cm
I thin it's indonesian but I'm not sure.
Thanks for advance.

Nice little blade there - congrats. :)
Yep - Indonesian, it's a siraui. Looks a little more modern to my eye, but others may have a more educated opinion.

I am quite sure that the origin must be indonesian.
I see them on regular basis on market and fairs.
And occasionally I bought the too :)

I am not usre if Siraui would be the correct name.
Siraui as described in van Zonneveld's TWOIA looks more like a weapon than these little knives.
