Woodworking has changed a lot through the years. We have tools available to us today that they wouldn't even recognize 100 years ago. For that matter, a lot of them didn't exist back when I started woodworking. There are also tools that they used 100 years ago, which none of us have in our kit. I just bought this antique. It was obviously made by a blacksmith, as we can see the seam on the inside of the eye, where he wrapped the metal strap around and welded it. A reproduction might have the hammer marks on the blade, but not that seam. Also, it's got a wood wedge in the handle, rather than a metal one. Believe it or not, I actually didn't just buy this for my tool wall; but to do a couple of projects that it's the ideal tool for. So, I'll be cleaning it up a bit and sharpening it; hopefully without messing up the patina on it. In the mean time, does anyone but me know what this is called? What's it used for (real or humorous answers)? This isn't a contest, but let's have some fun with it.
