Gotta say, this one is REALLY creative! though its grim intent. The inscribed 'scene' is well done from some notable resource, reminds me a bit of Wagner (1967) in a similar illustration. Would never have thought of a hay cutting tool.

Lol. The man in the drawing is holding a serrated sword.

a serrated edge ( which is different from a flamberge ), is absolutely meant to be used in a alternated motion , think of a bread knife.


the image shows a blade used with two hands (this one can't, it is too short) . In my view a total work of fantasy

Yes. Crude fantasy. But the effort and attention in the detail is just funny.
