Hello Star Wars!

This is why nEaTo is becimihg broing .it is a helper leg slahser for karate chopsn to zombieb nechs.

ps: it doesn't help that if you turn the fode over the answer is written on the back.

EASY- corn stalk cutter, leaves both hands free to tie or move the stalks.

It looks like something you would use for climbing up a tree. Stick the blade in the trunk and use the foothold to support yourself. If not a tree, an electric pole?

Its for cutting down crops and brush as you walk.

For splitting logs--the instep rod lets you put all your weight into it.

It is Merriam Cast Iron Corn Cutter

It's a boot.

Ohhhhhh.... You mean the black thing strapped to his leg... Others have already gotten that; corn cutter. But how many have actually used one or know how they work?

please post no URL - let others play.

I's a leg from the 1970s judging from the pale denim flare and cowboy boot combo.

wearing some sort of surgical caliper.

This was obviously made for creating crop circles.

You people. Don't you recognize this? Back when Hermes fought the Harpies, he took a bad hit to the leg, and lost one of the wings off of his feet. While it was re-growing, Vulcan (or was it Hephaestos?) fashioned him this keen prosthetic leg wing. Worked like a charm. Don't you people read the news? Sheesh.

hardcore spurs for a hardcore cowboy

part of the first "Iron-Man" suit?

Strap-on control surface.

Human cock fighting spurs

guess I am a tad late to guess but I agree that it is a wheat (crop) cutter...for people harvesting without a plow?

hope that's not his left leg...

It's used to climb poles and trees.

it's a "leg blade" from "death race 1900"

It's a man-plough, for those who can't even afford a donkey or a wife, it's the Man-Plough, from TomCo!

I believe it is used to make briar thicket fence row hedges, it that you push down to half cut off the stock and bend it over.

it's for motorcyclists so they can stab people with their feet while they ride

"Strap-on control surface."
hahahaha! Nice one, SoLo! =]

lets hope he does't try to scratch an itch on his leg with his foot...I can't even imaging the amount of self inflicted harm this could cause.

I believe it is a RonCo Ginsu Chopper. It slices, it dices, it makes vegetable chopping a fun family affair!

But wait....there's more.....

It's a cast iron corn cutter

It's a way to cheat at the NY Marathon.

Boot Saber

It's a footrest for your right foot, so you can look really cool and relaxed on gardenparties.

Looks like something with which to cut hay or, rather, to trim hay bales. that's my guess.

From Dave: "But how many have actually used one or know how they work?"

You lie down on the ground. Then a fellow farm hand grabs you by both arms and swings you around in a circle while walking up and down the rows of corn. Ta da!

Let me guess, it's a Merriam Cast Iron Corn Cutter. What did I win? :)

If a big farmer had a small wife she could climb him more easily during breaks on those warm days in the field.

Why so many lonely, unmarried sheepfarmers used it is a mystery. Why would you lock the hindlegs of a pretty sheep in place with such a device?

Well, yeah, it doesn't make sense without the associated helmet and jetpack...

Looks like the old-school cowboy version of a Brush Hog.

Finally... the truth behind square dancing and crop circles !!!

It's a spur for sea horses :)

just need a soccer ball and a kid size version and you can get the kids to do your work for you
