That strikes me (pun intended) as an old metalworking hackers chisel, possibly hand-make. A modern one may be seen here: https://blacksmithsdepot.com/products/cutting-tools.html/hacking-chisel.html

Looks like a hatchet or maybe a sort of cleaver from the 1800s. The right side shows that it was edged and the left side looks like it was use as a hammer or was hammered on to cut something.

  • Thank you , do you think it had a wooden handle organically? Just wondered about the hook at the bottom too , i guessing that was to hang it up? Commented Jan 15 at 16:19
  • Doubt it had a wood handle as there are no holes where rivets would have went through Commented Jan 15 at 17:23
