Hello Timo,

Anthony Tirri, in his book "Islamic Weapons", says that these sickle style knives are from Malaysia region and are called `ARIT`( page 412, figure 290 A).

This is not an arit and likely not from the SEA archipelago - I'd guess at India and neighboring regions.

Though I bought almost a similar one you have from South- India ( Kerala) and seller said that it is a farming tool ( sickle).

Would love to see that, too!
