Ive seen one before and it was used for cutting tree limbs like an axe of sorts im sure someone will know for sure.
does it have a serrated edge to it?
I'm going to see it later today, measure it, see if any marks, look at the edges etc. Thanks!
And I'll take more pictures.
I Googled vintage forestry brush cutting tool and several images came up like this if they are the same size im not sure butt hese are still made .
Some sites refer to this as a Husqvarna axe hope this helps.
We called them brush axes. This one is not very old.
Ok, so the total length is about 26.5" and the overall head is about 4.5" x 6". It definately has a smooth removable blade which appears to be finely honed. Overall is not not heavy enough to cut branches. My 85 yr old neighbour said he thinks he remembers something like this as a kid, used for chopping into pieces rabbits and chickens, small game. I have 2 more photos, have to figure out how to upload. I still have to look up forestry brush cutting tools and brush axes. Could n't find Husqvarna that looks like this tool. Thanks everyone.
Well, my old friend may have used it for cutting up meat; lots of people multi-purposed tools. But I think the brush axe wins the prize! Now I want to find a video on how it's used. What would be the advantage over a machete or parang type tool?
