A garage sale acquisition. Very heavy blade. Any ideas?

Could be a reshaping of a larger broken blade. A picture of the spine would be helpful.

A little less than a quarter of an inch thick at the spine. The tang is peened over what looks like a washer. I suspect old American too.

Your knife reminds me of a corn knife I have, which is an old sword blade ground down to a usable length and mounted in a turned wooden handle. The clip blade is very American in style. I suspect this knife had an agricultural use. Definitely worth saving!
