I agree that the hilt looks like it is from Bali to me. The work around the top of the sheath looks Indonesian, but the motifs don't exactly look Balinese to me. A better photo of the blade might help confirm whether it is SE Asian or European.
It's a beautiful thing for sure, but i'm not convinced yet that it is of truly ethnographic origin as a complete dagger.
