what is it.

Can anyone tell me what this is called and what it's used for please and thanks.

 

Peat Cutter???

 

Thanks Jiffy.

 

For fae folk ?

 

I just read somewhere that someone was using it to dig up a rose bush.

 

Then its obviously a rose bush digger upper, it can be whatever you want it to be,... within reason.

 

Haven't a clue what the shovel thingy is, but I must congratulate you on your choice of welly design...nice, lol.

 

Tricky as the leopard print welly is easier to see than the tool detail, is there a name anywhere on the tool, how sharp are the edges, what does the cross section of the blade look like?
More and better photos of the tool, the welly and the hand are irrelevant.
Although the hand, the welly and the state of the tool would indicate the holder doesn't use it.

 

Sorry haven't got any of those.

 

Can't help thinking it looks like a beheading axe although it would proberbly be rusty with lack of use.‍☠️

 

I think the original question was asked on another forum and they can't come up with the answer either.

 

I do seem to remember seeing pictures of peat being cut with something similar to the original picture.
I don't think that round bottom type would work very well .
Wouldn't produce nice square blocks.
