What is it?
Y’all ever seen one of these? Looks like it has a special purpose, but for what?

Never seen one, no idea what it is used for, and where did you get it.? But looking forward to finding out what it is.

Re: What is it?
I've never seen one of those before. To me, the one gizmo looks like a tenderizer. I googled "vintage hatchet with tenderizer" and quite a few came up. But none that looks like yours. I can't figure out the spike and the round piece.Eye Brand Man wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 12:17 am Y’all ever seen one of these? Looks like it has a special purpose, but for what?
Great looking item.

Don't know what it's used for but you could definitely do some damage with it

I have no clue but you sure have found a very unique HatchetEye Brand Man wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 12:17 am Y’all ever seen one of these? Looks like it has a special purpose, but for what?
There is a picture of a hatchet that is similar on PICCLICK.COM that sold on E-bay but it must have sold a long time ago because there is no information other than the picture. If one was to speculate it looks like it had to be a special tool that had multiple functions.
Good Luck on your research

Re: What is it?
Got it from a buddy that buys and sells guns and knives. He got it at an estate sale. I got it from him purely for its uniqueness and I’d never seen anything like it.

Re: What is it?
I may be crazy, but they all have kitchen uses. TSkip mentioned the tenderizer for meat, ice pick, bowl for grinding spices, blade for splitting meat joints.
I think it’s a universal kitchen tool. Maybe for a chuck wagon kitchen.

I think that it is a home-made shade-tree cutler fantasy whacker.

I don’t know Cal. I looked it over pretty good and it definitely looks to be factory made.tongueriver wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 5:27 pm I think that it is a home-made shade-tree cutler fantasy whacker.

Re: What is it?
What is the lenght and weight? Is it as heavy as a standard hatchet? Very cool whatever it is.
Wopper Chopper?
Here is a similar piece that went across eBay some time ago. The seller called it an ice hatchet and that sounds plausible.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I think you chopped (er.... nailed) it.
