Another vote for Piso Podang or Chenangkas! It's not Indian!

Maybe all are right. Maybe a piece which is set together in ancient times. Grip and blade do not need to be from same origin. As today, maybe an owner asked a bladesmith to fit a grip and a different blade. The blade seems to be made of a raffinated steel and not layers like pamor. Maybe wootz.

Thomas, the blade from #1 is composed of layers, clearly seen in picture of the side with central fuller.

Unfortunatley this was back in the early days when photo bucket was used. Nice Napoleonic blade. It went to a Dutch member. Was not my thing.
