Closet find strange looking knife

Found this in a closet, probably leftovers from previous apartment owner.
Could someone tell me how old this thing is and where it came from.
Thanks much

 

Souvenir Kukri , I'll leave the age to someone else.

 

Common from the 1960s on until people got antsy about large knives on planes

 

Looks like a made for tourist kukri knife.

 

I'll add that souvenir kukris were often made with rather poor-quality steel, which corrodes much faster than one might expect. A knife only a few years old might show rust that appears to be 25-50 years old.
Last I checked there were still mail-order companies importing kukris like this, so age might be anywhere from 1960s to nearly new.
