nasty ol’ knife

Montino Bourbon · 24th December 2023, 08:45 PM

A garage sale acquisition. Very heavy blade. Any ideas?

Could be a reshaping of a larger broken blade. A picture of the spine would be helpful.

Billhook handle? perhaps some version.

Looks old American.

A little less than a quarter of an inch thick at the spine. The tang is peened over what looks like a washer. I suspect old American too.

some pictures of the spine, and the end of the tang in the handle.
