Hello Dave,

by a blade length from 25 cm it is for sure a Lopah Petawaran, a very nice piece and I have to withdraw my previous comment that there is something missing at the handle, it don't look like this but there is still the possibility that there was once a longer extention attached at the end from the handle.
The handle isn't from wood IMVHO, look like horn or akar bahar, how is the feel in hand, warm or colder?
