Hello Kai,
Will remember you you when I am boring it.

Incidentally, I obtained a twin of Rick's knife this year and also have an antique version coming in (shown below). The scabbard seems to be quite characteristic; blades and hilts exhibit some variability though.
The blade look more like a sewar/siwar blade and not like the one from Rick's knife!?

Without an extant scabbard and yet another blade and hilt styles, your knife may or may not be closely related to the other examples.
The blade from my example is much more similar to Rick's example as your one IMVHO. Only the curve of the tip is slightly different.

I hope some more similar Sumatran knifes will show up to close the gaps; I feel we've barely started to scratch the surface considering the diversity of Sumatran piso (and daggers in general)...
Hope and feel the same!
