Thomas Staniforth made agricultural tools so your bill hook was likely used on a farm and not a war used tool. Impressive old piece!

I like that name, or description, stamped on the blade: SEVERQUICK. That tool probably would sever things quickly. Maybe it was used for sugarcane, or just clearing brush.
