nechesh,

It seems like the blade had been modifed to fit the sheath.
See picture 2, the part near the hilt, seems to be filed.

Kujang comes mostly from Sunda, West Java.
Rencong comes from Sumatra, Aceh, Gayo and Alas.
For this example, from the meucangge 'curved hilt', it is from Aceh, Indonesia.
