Agree with Kai, Erik.
IMO it's what we called as
Lawi Ayam in Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.
The name
Lawi Ayam is derived from the Malay name for the tail feather of a rooster.
It is the largest one in the Kerambit family of blades.
The smallest one is called as
Kuku Rimau.
Somehow confusingly this Lawi Ayam is called as
Kuku Macan in Jawa.
Kindly compare Eric's picture with
MSM'S PICTURE and
CN'S PICTURE.
