It's probably a hoof nipper, or something like that. I think it would take a lot of doing to make it something other than your big honkin' pair of nippers that can go through a fence nail.

It is most definitely a hoof nipper. This is one of the best ways out there to trim a horse's hoofs. Anyone who has ever used a normal end-nipper style hoof nipper know what a pain it could be - this makes your life much easier.

We had one of those in the pile of animal working tools in Ag shop when I was in highschool, right next to the castration tools and horn scoops...

BTW, I have one of the end- nipper style hoof nippers. It's a pretty handy tool to have around. I call it my tooth puller of death.

if the 'anvil' part of the cutting tool was ground out or modefied to hold something with a die or groove, and sharp/blade part was dulled, it could make flutes..
but it's throat isn't nearly deep enough for it to be used on much except fluting near the edges of a plate
