another 19thc Cambodian Kabet - knife
Here is another with the same style mounts, 19thc and from south Cambodia, note the very apparent lotus bud tip and hilt, a very prominent theme in Cambodia.
The basket scabbard is not likely the original but is used throughout the whole region of Thailand and Cambodia into Laos, so far i have never seen it in use in Burma though. This one I once owned and sold many years ago.   Snody

The basket scabbards seem to be fairly common for working tools in the area.
