Monday Mystery, Java Steel stick

 


“Steel stick” is what Google Translate calls it. The rest of the text is in the Indonesian-Dutch language. Possibly an adze type thing?

    Javastaal (staal = steel) is a type of carbon steel, Stockvis is a Dutch engineering corporation that exported tooling to the Dutch Indies. Looks like a hoe, maybe specially adapted to sugarcane work, but that's just me running with the idea.
