What's that?! [QUIZ]

[username_2061574]

Sorry Petra, but Treasa and Hokyung are far closer, it is really used for cutting ....something (and not tumbleweeds) ;D

 

[petra_silie]

What a pity

Nevermind it, I don't have any "hard nut to crack" pic anyway

 

[Treasa]

Is it, perhaps, a knife for slicing adobe bricks while they're still wet, to make them smaller, so they bake evenly in the sun?

 

[username_2061574]

It is used on the fields.

 

[hokyung]

It's not a leg-sickle is it? Blade is surely angled wrong for mowing grains ???

 

[username_2061574]

You are really close. Wrong angle? Why?It only depends on what you mow...Btw: this thing is really American, a little bit old-fashioned, though

 

[Etainne]

still no clue..., but working on one...

Yep, your turn

 

[ratbag]

How about this?

 

[Etainne]

it's a door-knob press

 

[Gamewidow]

a corker or capper of some kind ?

 

[ratbag]

Etainne half right, Game Widow half right.

 

[Etainne]

Really, 'cause I was kidding!

 

[ratbag]

Really, 'cause I was kidding!

Question is which half

 

[grandempereor]

A press to put corks into (wine-)bottles?

 

[petra_silie]

The picture reminds me of Kalkstein's lab and the device as well.Could it be that the front extension is meant to clip something which has a round format? :hmmm:

So close but not quite

No it doesn't clip anything but the Kalkstein's lab reference puts you real close.
