Sickle Knife, India ???

[Blacksmith]

Hi, I gave mine to my brother but I`ll ask him to take some pictures and send them to me. I think that late 1800/beginning of the 1900. I also wondered the thicknes of the spine,
its more like tool to clear up bushes etc.

Hi Robert,
Not my area of expertise but there is an Indian knife called a BANK which is of sickle shape.

Hello Stuart,

Not my area of expertise but there is an Indian knife called a BANK which is of sickle shape.

That's another animal: smaller blade and with a tighter arc. Can't remember seeing roughly finished examples of these, too.
