I'm torn about this one too, for the obvious reason: the reptile leather wrappings on the handle seem African, the shape seems SEA, along with that little X/_ line on the blade.

I'm actually leaning towards it being an assembled piece, perhaps with a SEA knife blade, some material from Africa or elsewhere, and put together to someone's personal taste.
