I picked this hand tool up at a local market for a few bucks. I know it is used for cutting due to the honing marks and edge but I am curious if it has a specific name. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance. post-59442-0-29128500-1432843315_thumb.jpost-59442-0-96576500-1432843327_thumb.j

I think its called a bleeder if I remember correctly. I use it for cutting strands when I braid leather, it a useful tool.

It is a bleeder and is used for tying bleed knots for holding conchos on saddles. I have one from Ron's tools that is a sharpened set of long nose pliers. Yours is the more traditional variety.
