I think I'm looking at a married piece.
The hilt is a Palembang keris hilt --- or SE Sumatera at least.
The scabbard looks a bit like some korambi scabbards.
The blade in Jawa would be called "Lawi Ayam" (cock's tail feather), or perhaps jambiyo.
If it had its original hilt instead the keris hilt we might be able to name it as a type, but it does not, so why bother to try to christen it as something it is not?
If you wander around the markets in Jawa you come across this sort of thing a lot, ie, various unrelated elements put together either by user or dealer or collector. They don't really need to have a specific name, because they are outside the parameters for a specific type.
