i'd compared it to another online example:

Hello Wayne,

what you show seems to my eyes a cheaply made tourist knife.

Here some examples of real/antique tumbok ladas. Pepper crusher is correct.

i just picked one off google that was close to the originally posted one by blue lander, not as a typical tumbuk lada, but one that may have been a marriage of convenience.

Don't want to attack you Wayne! But the shown knife from Blue is for sure not a tumbok lade, like said I would just call it piso/pisou.
