WTH is this thing?

[Knobgoblin]

I love this random yard implement.
I've had it for at least 20 yrs.
Trying to figure out what it is . Seems cheap enough for me to buy a few more, which is why I ask...wth is it

I expect to be carpet bombed with "some calls it a Kaiser blade" responses. After that please let me know what I'm shopping for

I'm not sure but it looks like something my kids would leave laying around so I could step on the metal end and then have the handle crack me in the grapes.

 

[P7M13]

Nope. It's a sling blade.

 

[Labradorian]

That's a Swedish safety axe.

 

[GrayGoose]

Is this from Feinstein's collection?

Those use to be called...

Brush Axe

Used them when surveying timber. Lighter and safer to carry than a double-bit or a felling axe.


Edit to add: Just looked them up. I see them listed under Brush Axe and Clearing Axe.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

It's what Nancy Pelosi uses to stir her cauldron.

 

[Knobgoblin]

Of course I have a fondness for something that retails between $50 and $80.
No wonder I never see these at Harbor freight. Lol

 

[Knobgoblin]

Seriously.
If you see one of these cheap, snap it up.
So handy . No ideal for every task, but versatile enough for most.

I thought she might use it to trim her pubes

@MTpockets, color me impressed. Nice call.
You win the high capacity magazine immunity prize.
(In all seriousness - nice call.)

It's a Polish sword.... they reverse the position of the handle and the blade to confuse the enemy.... don't ask about their land mine detectors!!

 

[jbett98]

I tried using one of these at my friends x-mas tree farm.
I was in the emergency room 40 minutes later getting a bunch of stitches on my kneecap.
His dog lost the tip of his nose the same day.

Is that how they inspired the Safety Dance?

 

[Labradorian]

I've watched 'Safety Dance' music video numerous times. Not a singe toe among them.
