I have a drawkinfe with a spread of about 41 inches, with just one handle, and an open loop on the other end. Blade is 4 inches deep, and about 25 inches wide. Looks like it swivels on one end, so one man can work it. Is it part of a greater tool, like for debarking, boatbuilding, ets?

Could be called a spoke shave. Put both terms into Google Images and have a look around.

It also reminds me a lot of the blade from a paper cutter.

Steve says it looks like a 'block knife'....although the handle end on those is usually straight.

edit...when I look for an image though, all google shows are knives in storage blocks...need a wood working site, I guess.

yes, IT WOULD LOOK COOL AT A WINE, CHEESE, AND beer party as a salami and cheese cutter

Looks similar to a block knife used for carving wooden clogs/shoes but those usually have a hook on the non handle end to you can remove it from the work table. The hook also let you change angle. It looks more like a tobacco cutter with the hinge on it. My third and final guess a bagutte/french bread cutter but too big. Cheese wheel cutter has the same odd handle angle but again looks too big.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

I second the paper cutter.

It looks just like the blade from the one we had at my old high school.

I think the odd thing is the angle of the handle end...even a paper cutter has a straight handle, I think, as does a 'block cutter'. I wonder if it has been altered for some other purpose.
It's so large that it seems like it would be for something like splitting off chunks of wood.

...about a minute into the video is something similar, even with the angled handle, as Robert Ray mentioned for wooden shoes.....

permaculture is a more symbiotic relationship with nature so I can be even lazier. Read tiny ad:
