Tool question
I have this problem where I pick up tools at garage sales, auctions and sometimes someone just says "here do you want this?"
It happens that I went to this garage sale last fall and saw a tool I did not own, it was priced very reasonable, I think it was a dime when I divide it out. ($5.00 for everything you can possibly cram in a paper bag and still carry)
the trouble is I just do not know what it is for, and have not come up with any use for it so far.
does anyone have any idea?
the end is quite sharp and appears to be a hand use tool, not meant to whack with a hammer.
thanks

Yep, Real Bubb, that is officially my guess.

I'd say it's more for upholstery for removing tacks and staples.
Could double for flipping burgers and piercing hot dogs on the grill too.

Used with a lathe, that would create evenly spaced identical grooves/ridges around the stock you turn.

I've known a lot of woodcarvers. None would "beat the hell out of" anything when woodcarving. Are you thinking stone mason maybe? When using a lathe, it takes an even and gentle touch to the wood with a steady grip on the tool. Nothing to whack or beat.

I dunno. I'm a woodworker myself, and when I chisel hardwoods it takes very firm blows to make a clean mortise cross-grain, even with a "Scary sharp" edge.
Lathes take a gentle touch, true, but my cutting chisels have way stronger striker plates than that thing posted earlier and those "tines" on the fork are super thin. I really doubt they'd hold up to being used as a turning tool against hard maple, let alone softwood. Plus, they're the wrong direction to be a turning tool. All of mine have the cutter edge at 90-degrees to the axis. These look like thin knife blades all in line with each other. There's no cutter pointing "up" from them.
I'm still voting leather. ;)
Of course a tool can be used for many things in the right hands...

Hey...I said
"Could double for flipping burgers and piercing hot dogs on the grill too".
That bird needs to be redirected my way once you get the dog off. I already have three dogs and bus isn't big enough for another one. Now the bird I can paint blue and mount on the front bumper since I have a bluebird bus.
