Could the flowers shown on the hilt be Ixora Coccinea flowers?
The plant is a medicine plant used in India, and the flowers are sometimes used on Indian hilts.

The blade looks to be cut from a commercial scythe blade! Very good steel and possibly laminated even.

Thank you, David.
It seems that it is so.
