Question Probably from the Philippines

Just got this knife. I found it on ebay.belgium.

The seller only gave this information : Philippines knife World War II

I guess it's from that region, but I'm not sure. The handle is made from wood with a long brass ferule. The blade has a gentle curve with a very sharp edge. It reminds me a bit of the shape of some kind of Indian dagger.

The sheath is also made from wood, partly covered with leather and cord. At the top there are two plaited rattan bands.

Total length : 33 cm
Length of blade : 17,5

Any comments ?
