Does anybody know what tool this is plz

[BILLy]

Hi as tittle please,
Bought it at a car boot sale, my guess is maybe a farmers knife for cleaning trimming Sheeps hoofs?
Can't find the teapot logo anywhere either after searching the net

Cheers

I am thinking that it is a pruning knife.

Mushroom knife?

 

[Blaidd]

Most hoof knives (at least the older ones) I've seen don't have a sharp point, and often have narrow blade.

Looks like a Rose knife to me.....but hey, what do I know

 

[British Red]

Baasic gardening / pruning / grafting knife

 

[mousey]

I have a kitchen knife that has a very similar curve, apparently called a 'bird beak'.

mushroom knife maybe?

 

[Toddy]

It looks like a pruning knife.....I'd certainly use it for that, or maybe for nicking off the rod ends of a willow basket.

Joseph Haywood used a kettle for his company mark.
Worth a search for an example.

cheers,
Toddy

possibly a serpette (French vine pruning knife)

 

[david1]

is it for cutting tea

 

[Macaroon]

Looks like a Joseph Haywood "Hawksbill" pruner to me...............

The only other possibility is a "Lino knife", that handle looks as if it was meant to pull, but if it's a Lino knife it's very well worn as they had a much more pronounced and sharp curve and were pulled through the lino to cut it.................But I think a pruner

 

[Seagull]

Some form of turf / sod scythe?
Those serrations look like mini teeth.
I have something similar , for howking rootbound Bonsai out of their pots.

Mushroom knives would most likely have a brush on the other end to remove dirt as they should not be washed.

Thanks for all the replies, still unsure of what it could be, was thinking a the blade on a mushroom knife might be thinner, but?
A couple more pics
