Thanks Drd - I guess I got as far as that too (Van Zonneveld being my only good reference for this region). When I bought this I rather thought I'd seen a grip shaped like that before, but unfortunately I have never been able to find out where so perhaps it was not Indonesia after all.
I'd agree the blade is pretty crudely made, but with the unusual blade shape I'd hoped it might spark some ideas. I've attached a close-up of the stamp on the blade in case that can give any clues and hopefully someone will be able to supply more information.
