Thank you Charles and Rick,

frankly said I have had the same thoughts like Rick because the antler hilt and style of scabbard, look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16521

Have the hope that someone have seen or own a similar one and know more.

You know the more I look at this and add in the scabbard the more I a thinking Thai too.

I will see if I can find some matching blade profiles.

Have get a very informed statement by email. This knife coming from Cambodia or Thailand border to Cambodia and is a so called e-nep thai "Khmer" kukri. The scabbard is traditional to Cambodia, the used metal for the fittings most probable from samrit, a brass alloy with worthy metal content.
The knife is with 30 cm rather small but very typical.

Are there other members with such a knife?

I have seen a dha dagger once with everything typical except it had an antler hilt like this one.

Sorry no pictures though.
