Well, maybe I'm wrong, but you do find this type blade shape in the south with a down turned handle. There are allot of other southern blade shapes other than the well known Kris, they are just not as well documented outside of Thailand. The blade shape itself yes you do see in the Thailand in general as a tool with your typical Thai E-nep.
