Four luks (curves) ; most Indo keris style blades have an odd number.

This could be a shortened blade but the high polish makes me think non Indonesian.

In my opinion, it's a German hunting dagger. Normally they have a one-edged straight blade.
In Germany, these are called 'Jagdnicker'.

It looks like some put this together from old parts of different knives.

IN fact it looks more recent. Some European/American blades have the wavy pattern after 1926. I also think it is a composite and recent like others like this I have seen. Not SE.
