It's a seme from the Masai (or a nearby tribe) of East Africa. It's probably relatively old--it looks like it has a midrib and a diamond cross-section which (I believe) is an older feature. The newer ones are basically flat, built like machetes. I don't recall the date when the switch-over happened, but by old, I mean that it's likely mid 20th Century, at a guess.
Neat blade--and I'm sure the next poster on this list will have a better guess on its age.
