Keris? or....

I like this Buda-esque keris; I couldn't speak to its age, the blade resembles knapped flint or obsidian.
If it's new I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't been 'aged' more.

To me it looks like an attempt at a Keris Buda that has been abandoned before completion. In its present state even Blind Freddy would not be sucked in.

It does appear to have some age in the fittings, so maybe pre-WWII.
