Thank you Detlef for the link to the discussion.

Now, I'm not so sure this knife comes from Malaysia.

Hi Marius,

Just compare the mouth pieces from the scabbards, the one in question, my example and the ones in the given thread. It's the best evidence.
Also blade shape, handle style, blade bolster and the used materials are signs but when there is a scabbard the mouthpiece is the give-away.

Regards,
Detlef

Hi Detlef,

Hi Oariff,

Yes, it's a Malay badik. Scabbard crosspiece, the very nice handle in aka bahar, typical Malay. Also the scabbard foot is clearly Malay. Let me know when you get tired of looking at it.
