Sickle Knife, India ???

[kronckew]

nepali hasiya - a fancy one.


ubiquitous farm sickle used all over nepal, usually in a wood carrier block with a string baldric, blade partially exposed. like filipino bolos, not designed as a weapon, but as an everyday farm tool. also, like a filipino farmer's bolo, i wouldn't want to tackle a person with one who has used it every day of his life for just about everything.

a less fancy one with block & baldric.

I find it usefull to remember with kukri, That They occur through a broad range... Nepal,India, Burma at the very least.

Id Say thats the same with Himalayen Sickles.
