Unknown sickle knife

Here's one which is a bit of a mystery to me. The way the handle is contructed this sickle knife reminds me of weapons from the Konda tribe.

But I have never seen this shape before. Perhaps someone has another idea ?

The blade is shaped like a true sickle with a small metal extension near the handle. The cutting edge is at the inside of the curve. It's decorated with lines forming triangles. The metal also has rectangular dots beaten into it.

The handle is wood with some iron banding near the blade.

dimensions :

height : 30 cm
handle : 10,7 cm
width of blade : 3,7 cm
