In recent news, a 56-year-old Indian woman was attacked by a leopard, and fought back for a half an hour, eventually killing it with a sickle she was carrying.

"A 56-year-old Indian woman is recovering in hospital after killing a leopard that attacked her, as she tended her fields armed only with a sickle...she battled with the leopard for half an hour on Sunday morning..."The leopard lunged at me many times and we fought for a long time"...she was terrified when the leopard attacked, but was determined not to succumb. "I gathered my courage to fight back. I promised myself that this is not my last day here"...she grabbed the ear of the attacking leopard with her right hand and kept swinging at the animal with the sickle in her left..."

I imagine the sickle was similar to one of the models of Hasiya that HI sells:
