Hullo Ian:

The item you refer to is a golok beubeut-njéré/bandoel/lamang from Soenda (western Java).
It has a stereotypical djéngkol-sahoeloe handle (the "nodule" appearing to jut out from the top of the "pommel" is actually a trick of the lighting).
The blade is of "higher" quality and designed to be strong and light, but primarily for use as a chopper.

Best,
