 An older Lombok Island knife with a Bali-Hindu styling.  Therefore, it was most likely made by descendants of the Balinese people.  The sheath looks like some restoration has been done but the blade and handle are original.  There is a crack in the handle as you can see from the photos. 

I would estimate that the knife is from the 1920 to 1950s in age.
