Hi Colin,
I've seen plenty of rice sickles, but this seems way to 'fancy' and frail......
well, plenty's an exageration, but I've seen some, and they've all been rather functional and 'businesslike', can't remember any being serrated either.....
Thanks for helping bud, have a look at a side-on of the handle:
