Hello everyone,
there is only one sharp side, the inner side.
It is not very sharp either, but it has a very fine serration, which can be seen a bit in the photo.

Thumbs up

Ok, the object is no longer mysterious: it is a sickle produced in the Indo-Pakistani area; curiously very, very decorated compared to traditional work tools.
But the shape of the blade and the handle is the same, and the system of fixing the blade to the handle is also the same.
I attach some photos, found following Kronckew's indication, which I thank.
At this youtube link you can see the manufacturing process of these tools.

And therefore, as a tool and not a weapon, this thread is in the wrong place ...
Thanks again to everyone.

neither disrespect nor offence intended but especially in Asia many weapons find their origin in tools. Certainly talking martial arts...
