Thank you for your fast reply gentlemen!!!

@Dajak, you are sure with Sarawak? What tribe?

Ok here are more pictures of the handle and blade. I didn´t clean it - this blade is still sharp as hell - beautiful original condition.

Hi Rainer I can only tell that these are used in Sarawak as an little parang
I have had 2 similar to this one and have an older one they have not an old history as the other Borneo swords these items mostly date back to the 1950

Is it rattan or brass on the hillt ??
