As Rick said the pommel looks Phillippine. But, these quality of forged blades show up lately more and more as Dayak choppers on ebay and local auction sites. Among them parang sadap like choppers with very new scabbard and pommel.
I think it is more ment as a tool and as Rick noticed very rough forged. |

I'd say dayak parang. I've got a real similar one, same rough forged blade. It has clear laminations too, I'll see about some pics.
