Tool identification and use?

[Greenleaves]

The pictures are of a tool which belonged to my grandad and was curious if anyone new its name or proper use?





Pictures dont really show the angle of the blade very well but guess it is used for drawing a deep furrow

Onion hoe?

[Greenleaves]

Much too big I think, blade is about 8 inches across

After gurgling, I think it is a warren hoe

[Greenleaves]

Thanks NG looks very close, those shown are at a lot sharper angle but the principle is the same

Winged Weeding Hoe?

How about a hand held potato ridger?

Of course it would have to depend on the height of the hand that held the ridger but it could be used sidways (which every way that might be!!!)

Winged Weeding Hoe?

Much too heavy I think BM, more like a plough blade, measured it now, at the widest point 10" with a depth of all most 6"

It might well be Bill....

The problem is, after decades of use, you don't know what the original shape was.

How long is the handle?
Can we have a photo of the angle of the head to the handle please?

Too dark now and i have left the plot.....or lost it!

Handle is standard hoe length VC



The attached is the closest I can find on the tinterweb but mine has more acute angles

[veggiechicken]

Excuses!! Is the head at right angles to the handle? I can't make it out!

No VC perhaps the pic in post 13 will help, but I think NG is right....a Warren hoe of soughts
