Sickle Knife, India ???

Robert · 30th November 2012, 07:52 PM

Just picked this up and would like to know if it is a weapon or farm tool. Measuring from the end of the hilt in a straight line it is 13-1/2 inches tall. I do not have it in my possession yet but here are a few of the auction pictures. It definitely looks to be hand forged and not recently made, at least to me. Any and all help on this as to age, use and where it is from would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Robert
