Another one for identification, please

Origin of this dagger?
Any ideas on the place of origin of this dagger? It is 37.5 cm long, the tip broken and the blade filed down to give it a new point. Brass wire on the hilt perhaps a replacement?

In response to a suggestion by Vandoo in the Keris forum, I show the ceremonial weapon which has the hilt used in my Avatar. I believe it is called a parang betino. The hilt of mine seems to be...

Identification of kris hilt
Hallo Detlef
Yes, the wood is very like your intersting hilt, but not as clear - the surface on mine is rather worn. Do you know what wood it is?
Best wishes
