Old steel farm tool or grass cutter? Washed up on beach

[embe]

Any idea what this is? Figured someone would have dug something similar, or else grew up on a farm. Maybe the blade of a scythe or some type of tool/implement? I don't know. It's got a curve, what looks like serrations, and pretty old. Thanks in advance for any guesses.

I don't have any idea what it is , agree it could of been used on a farm .

is so much rusted metal out there , i'll be walking thru wood lots and find things in places you wouldn't expect to be any metal

I'm assuming at one point there was some type of wooden handle. I'd like to restore it eventually (once I figure out what it originally looked like or was intended for).

**edit** with the curves and serrations I'm starting to wonder if it was simply an auger for a snowblower lol

Looks like a type of sickle or scythe. Not a hand one. May have had a handle similar to this.

Sorry about the crappy picture.

Your tool is an antique hay knife.

I've heard them called hay saws; but yeah, that's what it is. Here's one with intact handles for reference on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/848466...9186&msclkid=9b974d0869ed1a741a322d0029096ee5

That is exactly what is! Detective Willong.
Better than I did.
