This tool belonged to my father, I've never been able to figure out what it is and/or what it's used for. He was a professional woodworker. The tool is at least forty years old, maybe twice that or more. It has a fairly dull edge on the round side, and is sharpened from both sides. I would love to know what it is and what it is used for.
Thanks Demographic. It's still puzzling - my father wouldn't have been into leatherworking per se at all, unless maybe for a very occasional upholstering project? He definitely didn't chop any herbs!
I've seen often on cooking program, they (at least look like the same) use it for the doe in bread or pasta cutting.
If someone find another meaning of the tool, let us know.
Thanks for all the replies. I accept that it's normally a knife used for food preparation, and skinning hides, neither of which were activities my father did to any great extent. All his hand tools were old-school woodworkers' tools from the 1930's to 1970's. He considered metal planes and steel-handled hammers to be modern, let alone plastic-handled chisels.
I'll take your word for it Dan - that link isn't working, 403 message.
