Sickle Knife, India ???

Well this showed up in the mail today so here are a few new photos. I'm not sure if they are any improvement over the originals though. The blade is slightly over 1/4 inch thick where it meets the decorative piece. This is definitely a hand forged piece complete with plenty of hammer marks up and down the blade. I agree with Kai and believe this to be a ceremonial item. Any comments and opinions on this would be very welcome.

Regards,
Robert
