Indonesian Utility Knife for ID

Hi guys, here are a few more images. As you can see, the scabbard has some damage and loss, and has been glued together sometime in the past. Although there is no sign of it, am I correct in assuming it would originally have been held together by rattan?

As the images show, the tang is partial. The unfortunate hole in the handle allows a clear view of the tang, 2/3 the length of the handle.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions,

Russel
