I think the answer is in your statement; the kama is functionally more similar to a scythe or a sickle. The sharp bit is on the concave part of a sickle and the sharp portion of an axe is on the convex part.

The description would probably better read as being compared to a sickle (closer in size) or a scythe (closer in shape).
