The hits just keep coming. Maybe this would be a good thread to share wacky designs for edged implements. I'll nominate the Woodman's Pal:
woodmans-pal-481

It has been around since early 40s, so must meet a need for some folks.

That's a tried and proven tool. It is an adaptation of the bill. It is a very successful tool.
I have no problem with bill hooks or the various patterns of machete. A sharp edge or hook facing backswing seems needlessly risky, however and both functions are crippled to some degree when combined. The glossy oak handle with finger grooves and leather sure looks nice though. o_O
 
Looks like he failed the forged in fire strength test with the axe blade. The machete blade works better for chopping that the axe blade, from the blows at the very end. It's like trying to build one aircraft for all the branches of service. Most of the time you get an aircraft that is of limited use to everyone. And this one can also injure the user.
 
That thing reminds me of something my friends and I would have come up with after a night of cards. We devised such weapons as the sword-nunchucks, chainsaw-nunchucks, quad bit axe (double bit head on each end of the handle), a "self returning" throwing knife (knife with an attached bungie cord), and some others I can't recall. The weapons were not very safe for the target or user most of the time.

Cards. Right.:rofl:

What? No boomerang blade? Though I do like the concept of the chainsaw chuks.

I actually use those for clearing brush, tho the local ones usually have a much larger hook. If you wack yourself with the back of your brush knife your doing something wrong lol.
They do look funny tho, and if you use them wrong are way more work than they are worth.
