Question Strange African piece

This is something I traded last week. I have seen a lot of African knives in all sorts of shapes, but this one is new to me.

Is it a sickle knife or a throwing knife ?

The knife is made out of one solid piece of iron with a handle consisting of some cloth covered with leather. The top part of the knife is sharp on three edges. It also has some decoration (zigzag pattern, dots).

Any comment is welcome.

Total length : 53 cm
