Eccho Report post Posted March 4, 2014 I think cdthayer is pretty close, I thought maybe a skinning knife, so along the same train of thought, although it does not look like it had a very sharp edge to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtoink Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Could it be for scraping the hide at different points during tanning? Maybe it didn't need to be very sharp if it was scraping the flesh side during some home brew tanning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
