It is a burl, but I know of a number of burls that have very similar appearance.
It looks like burl teak (jati gembol) but close physical examination would be necessary to be sure, a picture is just not good enough for certainty.

Hello Alan,
thank you again.
Until now I wasn't able to take off the hilt since I have a spraining in my working wrist. The blade will need a new stain since someone tried to clean the blade and there are many scratches on the surface of the blade.
Regards,
Detlef
