Let's see what you bought at auction this weekend. Here's what I bought in 2 lots for $93.00. 12.5" wide broad axe and small hewing hatchet. 2 haystack cutting knives. The serrated knife was often used to cut blocks of ice on ponds for refrigeration. A ratchet, heavy tongs, cant hook head, bale hook, jack and corn knife. A wicked, one hand scythe. A grabber. A 2 handed scythe. Hay tongs. Keith

You done good.That scythe is a useful tool if you know how to use it. We used to cut the old worn scyth blades in half and use them on the snath for cutting lighter whippy brush.

Serrated hay bale saw would probably be hard to cut ice with but alot of people made do with what they had. Must have been honed wicked sharp with teeth at serrations beveled just right. Nice buys

Do you fix those up and sell em? I'll clean them up some and mostly use them as decoration. I like old tools, especially ones that could be used as weapons like cleavers, scythes and axes. Keith

What you’re calling an ice cutter I used as a sod cutter working at a gold mine in Nome Alaska. As the ground thawed and sunk we cut sod, or tundra, off. The serrated haybale knife would work well for cutting soft ground like that. It's heavy duty and designed to let you use your weight. Keith

I've heard of people using a hay knife to cut into a muskrat hut.
Poor people have poor ways.

I sold a set of hay tongs like that for $10 last year at garage sale.
Wish I had more time to trap....
