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.

No doubt, the scabbard is a reworked klewang scabbard from the KNIL army.

One more time Thank you Kai, Henk and Mod. Now I'm sure about it's origines.
