    Flat shanked screwdrivers?

    I ran across a handful of screwdrivers like this one I pulled off of a google image search. Does anyone know what they were used for? Just wondering if they are for a specific purpose or just an odd manufacture for larger bladed drivers.

    Anyone know where to find 8" hack saw blades?
