What the hell is this?

I'm assuming it has to do with logging...

Looks like a basic budget scythe, where did you find it?

It looks like a bill hook. An old tree pruning tool.

No that is a tool for brush clearing called a bill hook. They have been used for several thousand years as both a tool and a weapon.--Ray

Pruning hook.

My Grandfather had one of those, I know they used them for logging but I'll be damned if I know exactly what their purpose was.
I'm thinking it's for cutting the limbs off instead of an axe after the tree is down.

Used to clear brush, like a machete.

It's a brush axe, used for clearing brush and small small saplings when clearing land without mechanical aid.

You can still buy them at a decent garden shop, or like at Tractor Supply.

Brush Hook, Bill Hook, Pruning Hook.

Still a great way to open up body armor. (Medieval body armor that is)
