What is this ?

[coastout]

Howdy,

New to the forum. What the heck is this? Edge closest to the tape is sharp, not a saw.

Ok
So a buddy showed me this “ knife”

Factory made , stamped with anvil and “Genuine” over the stamp

Roughly 11” inch blade

Point/End of blade at roughly 30 degree “ sheared” angle

Knife has conventional 2 rivet wood handle

And rising up from that another matching two rivet wood handle

Blade roughly 2 1/2” thick and either nickel or chrome plated

I called anvil mfg And it’s not theirs

Guesses so far are some kind of meat cutters breaking knife or wood froe

Any help appreciated

OAL is 19”
Key point is that this has two handles,

Thanks

I can see your weird knife . But no idea what its purpose might be .

 

[KenHash]

Never seen a two handled knife/tool with that oddball directional configuration.
I'm guessing it must be something task specific.
Hope someone can identify it.

Looks like a double handled froe.

Looks like a double handled froe.

It sure does! Never seen one before but I like the idea.

Yep it’s a two way froe. Interesting I’ve never seen one before like that.
