Help to ID an edged tool.

[oilyrag]

Hi,

Nooby here so please cut me some slack!

I spotted a tool at a Swiss Army Surplus store, it was the length of a machete but the width of a butchers cleaver with a very heavy blade that was darkened (adonized?). It had the swiss military cross branded into the handle. Is this a type of axe or knife that anyone is familiar with? It had a flat tip (no point)

Thanks

Hi Oily

If you could find a picture of something similar and post it then maybe someone could ID it for you.

Good luck.
