Hi Javagolok,

Welcome to the forum.
I agree with Henk that it looks like a tombak (spearhead) mounted on a Javanese badek hilt. The metuk iras (carved ferrule) looks thin compared to a standard metuk. Normally a javanese spearhead have a longer pesi (tang), but not this one.

VVV's tombak kujang example

My 2 cents worth.
