The general aspect of the hilt could bring to a betel crusher's hilt, but these have a somewhat square and smaller peg hole. This peg hole is no doubt that of a kris. Could be that a betel crusher's hilt has been adapted to fit a kris tang, widening the hole.
I happened to see betel crushers with kris hilt (planar type): the contrary cannot be excluded.
