Obrigado Stephen,
I am used to these 'multi-use' tools in the country, myself. Besides the purposes you mention, i notice that some stay at the back yard, for cutting wood for the kitchen fire.
It is the the hook in the back that intrigues me, as i have never seen one with such shape.
Yes, if this 'sickle' were a bit larger, it would be close from a tool weapon, like a bill or a guisarme.
