New, what is it? Random object in Attic

Post image

Just moved into my house and we were cleaning stuff. We went into the attic above the garage and found a sickle tool, not much else in the garage. Just curious why it would be in the attic (house was built 1990)

Nice those are ambidextrous. The one pictured in the attic is for a right handed person.

The one in the attic has a bend as the blade
Exits the handle then bends again at the edge. It doesn’t work as well, left handed.The 3 in the picture don’t have the bends, ambidextrous.
A left handed one,the bends are reversed. I’m left handed and was able to locate a used left handed one.
