<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 11232031, member: 76316"]This is 9 3/4" long; the triangular blade is ~2 5/8" wide, ~2 3/4" deep, ~5/16" thick at its joint with the shaft, which is ~3/4"square at that point. At the hot-punched rectangular hole (~1/4" X ~1/8") the shaft tapers to !5/16" square. Weight is 20 oz.</p><p>I found it somewhere along the Northern California coast, one side or the other vicinity Eureka, in the '90s; that's redwood logging country, an this may have been used in a mill or the woods in that industry. What do you think? Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]538975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538980[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
