Sudan: Kaskara

China: Dao

Philippines: Either the barong or karambit

i've seen very few kerambits here in the philippines (except for long sickles used by gardeners.) and barong is a knife style favored by only a small part of the warrior muslim class.

i would say the balisong for the philippines, or the working gulok (machete.)

I say those two because they're the widest known, though certainly not the widest used.

Scotland also. When I looked it up, it had both countries. Most of what I found said it is a traditional knife to be worn with a kilt.
