    This is what we called them where I grew up as well. It was also often used as a lawn dart by young boys too stupid to know better....

    I'm not sure what the tool was originally designed for (weeding or asparagus cultivation) but it has long been used by asparagus growers to slice the stalk below the ground. I used one for weeding.

    this will work much better if the handle was longer so the user could pull the weeds while they are standing up

    Well, first you need to catch the crow. After that, I'd recommend a Thai curry sauce, with carrots.
