Can we compare a koedjang or billhook or whatever the name is of this tool with the sickle used by druids?
- Both tools have an agricultural origin.
- The difference:
The druid sickle, from what I recall, is constructed merely in a sickle shape whereas the koedi/koedjang/tjongkrang is constructed to be more of a utility tool.

mvg,
