    Got these at an auction the other day and they were listed as "push daggers" but they seem way to large. I also thought they might me some kind of gardening tool but I can't find anything hand held only large spade style shovels? Help! Haha

      They look like a ulu that was made to conform to a bowl dimension. If you don't know what a ulu is just google it. One being marked Sheffield would fit.

      Ulus, and rocking food choppers in general, have a blade with a single uniform arc; no point. They actually do look like push daggers although I doubt it. They are not long, narrow, or pointed enough. Is it Graves or Greaves?

      It's greaves & sons

      Greaves was a straight razor manufacturer in Sheffield England.
