I think that "odd tool" is meant to be a version of a shepherd's axe, as explained on Wikipedia:  Shepherd's Axe  

Thanks for clearing that up Indianna, sounds like an ancient Swiss  army knife,

"it's a walking stick, no its a hammer, no its an ax, no its a self defense weapon, what can your Shepard make of this spectacular new piece of wood? No matter how it's used he will have plenty of carving surface for all those lonely nights. "

I wondered about that tool too! It looks to me like a turf-cutting spade used to cut peat turves, e.g. http://www.pcl-eu.de/virt_ex/detail.php?entry=05 (these are Irish turf spades), perhaps combined with a shepherd's crook?

Stop that whittling!

I think it looks like some sort of "shovel" - I don't know the name in english.. But why would a shepherd need one?

What a very interesting and charming set particularly that walking stick if it is a Sheperd's Axe then it sounds very cool and versatile just the sort of thing I'd love since I do a lot of conservation work and have been brought up doing lots of walking in the countryside

It's one of the sets my older brother and sister had, we used the sickle often with the pirates.
