Default Sickle

Hello, Anthony Tirri, in his book "Islamic Weapons", says that these sickle style knives are from Malaysia region and are called `ARIT`( page 412, figure 290 A).
Though I bought almost a similar one you have from South- India ( Kerala) and seller said that it is a farming tool ( sickle).

Hope this will help.
Regards, Timo
